BR-1 Backpack Blower Rack use and Installation Instructions. IMPORTANT MUST READ!

Select a mounting location which will not interfere with the pulling vehicle or equipment on the trailer. Also be certain that any blower which will be hung on the rack does not exceed the width of the widest part of the trailer. IT IS THE USERS SOLE RESPONSEBILITY TO ASSURE THAT THE BLOWER RACK IS INSTALLED SAFELY AND SECURELY TO A COMPONENT THAT WILL ADEQUATLEY SUPPORT THE RACK AND BLOWER UNDER ALL CONDITIONS. Check mounting hardware daily. The blower must be hung on the rack by an appropriate structural component. Blower tube must be removed or secured before transport. NOTE: A four inch PVC pipe coupler (available at any home store) attached to the trailer rail next to the BR-1 works well for this purpose.. The rack must be attached at two points along the upright at least 12 inches apart using the bolts and self locking nuts provided or the equivalent. When drilling the one inch square tube be absolutely certain that the holes are centered in the tube. The preferred mounting method is to shorten the upright portion of the rack by cutting off an appropriate length of the bottom so that when the blower is installed onto the rack, the bottom of the blower comes to rest on the trailer top rail just as the blower bottoms out in the hook on the rack. See photo. This way the blower is supported at the top and bottom. For added security a stretch cord should be installed around the blower using the holes at each end of the back rest. A long shackle padlock can be installed in the latch near the hinge. Although the spring that closes the latch ( located inside the tube) is Stainless Steel the hinge pin on the latch should be lubricated regularly.
