Starting & Stopping the Engine
Refer to the FLEX™ Power Base Operator’s Manual for instructions
on starting and stopping the engine.
Connecting The FLEX™ Power Base
1. With the kickstand UP on the FLEX™ Power Base unit,
as shown in Figure 4-1, roll it over to the leaf blower
attachment.
Figure 4-1
2. Tip the FLEX™ Power Base forward, engaging the top
mounting tab with the mounting handle on the leaf blower
attachment. See (1) of Figure 4-2.
3. Once the top mount is engaged (1), with both hands on the
handles, swiftly tip the power base backwards to engage
the bottom mounts (2). See Figure 4-2.
Note: The operator will be able to hear the lower mounts
engage and lock (latching sound) when coupled properly.
To test if coupled properly, lift up on the handles. If the unit
comes apart, the connection was not made. Double check
that the kickstand is still in the UP position, and swiftly tip
the power base backward with the top mount engaged.
Note: Once connected, the kickstand acts only as a locking
device for the attachment to the FLEX™ Power Base. The
only time the operator would need to deploy the kickstand
once connected to an attachment would be in the case of
uncoupling the FLEX™ Power Base from the attachment.

Uncouple the Leaf Blower Attachment from the Power Base:
Fully stop the power base engine before attempting to perform
any maintenance steps or uncoupling of the attachment. Never
attempt to uncouple the power base from the leaf blower
attachment WITH the engine running.
WARNING! Always turn off the FLEX™ Power Base
engine and remove the key prior to attempting to
perform any maintenance or uncoupling of the
power base from the attachment.
1. Position the kickstand down.
2. Tip the FLEX™ Power Base forward to disengage the
bottom mounts, then the top mount.
3. Move the FLEX™ Power Base away from the leaf blower
attachment.
Note: With the kickstand deployed in the downward (unlocking)
position, the FLEX™ Power Base will rest comfortably in a parked
position.
