Question:
I have a 125 Backpack blower and recently purchased the gutter kit supposedly for this unit.
The instructions are a joke. The written portion refers to labels that do not exist on the diagram (diagram has A,B,C and D; written has Z,Y, AA). Like two different people did each portion without anyone reviewing the entire document.
The bottom elbow that attaches to the backpack base, has a tab with a hole that seems to be for a nut to go through BUT this limits how far this end of the tube can be inserted into the base of backpack. In addition, there is no place for this tab to be used. In man ways, it would be better if this small 1/2" tab were cut off. This tab is not discussed in the manual or shown in the diagram.
In trying to put this together, it appears that the backpack blower is not constructed for easy maintenance. Some allen wrenched bolts are difficult to reach and remove due to the backpack base getting in the way. Simply rotating where these bolts were placed would make this much easier to less work.
The gutter accessory is a kluge system and should not be purchased. I hope more recent models looked at the entire system to make sure it was logical and easy to add on/remove accessories.
