If you don't have the suction tube on there is a shaped attachment that takes it's place. Then take the straight tube and place it where the bag goes. This is how to go from vac to blower.

Two long plastic pipes, one narrow and one larger, are included. The narrow pipe is attached to the outlet where the bag is attached as shown in the picture. The bag and the larger plastic pipe shown in the picture is removed. This is then becomes the blower. To switch back to vac, remove the narrow pipe, and re-attach the larger plastic pipe and bag.

Not too much. Take off the bag and put on blower attachment. Take off sucker and snap guard in place.

Step1 assembly the blower tube (small tube) Step 2 attach the small blower tube to the small end of the vac ( the vac bag also connects to this end in the vac mode) that's it for the blower. Note Make sure you cover the large opening on the vac with the vac grill cover.

If you are using a regular shop vacuum, you have too much suction. It's best to use a vac with adjustable power (Bosch, festool, fein, et al) and turn it all the way down. Barring that, you could try drilling holes in the tool end of vac hose until the suction is gentler.

None I just removed the old one and plugged the new one in. You might want to have a poolman do the work.

You simply unclick the blower nozzle attach the leaf bag in that same spot then unbuckle the bottom and attach the vacum piece. Probably takes 1 minute I have done it multiple times now.

There is a sonicrafter accessory called a "Dust Extraction Adapter", that hooks up to a shop vac. My guess the adapter screws into the holes. The adapter didn't have very good reviews, so I passed on buying one.

Mine included the vac accessories. I didn't get a chance to use them. The blower worked powerfully for the first few minutes, then it worked less powerfully, then after ten minutes it didn't work at all. It wasn't abused in the slightest, and I even used a 12-gauge cord. Local warranty shops quoted a turnaround of several weeks for a replacement from Toro. This was the fourth and last Toro product I'll ever buy.

An instruction manual came with the unit. I plugged my unit directly into the vacuum line, which is where my old vacuum was plugged into. I had to adjust the valves from the setting of my old unit, but it was only a small adjustment.

The pipe size is not an issue. Adapting to the different suction and exhaust locations is easy. Like the other responder said, you will need special fittings from a VAC SHOP. They are not plumbing fittings.

If in blower mode, remove nozzle by pushing on the "button" and pulling it off, then insert bag attachment. Open fan blade cover by unlatching guard and install vacuum tube.

Not much help, I installed with some unconventional items fronm the local hardware store. My advice would to get in contact with a place that handles central vacs.

Yes, there is a lever that you flip that changes the direction of the air flow. You do not have to remove the bag when changing from vacuum to blower mode. Hope this helps.

The vacuum attch is to big for my shop vac, might fit older vacs if the hose is larger. Everthing else worked fine, make sure you tape each joint together.

no need to change the blower and vac nozzles on the 505. You just flip a lever. just an additional warning after no more than 5 uses, the zipper on leaf bag is starting to fall apart.

Yes. Start by unplugging your original unit from the a/c outlet. Loosen the connections from the vac to the intake (PVC pipes).Disconnect the low volt wires from your unit. Unscrew wall mount screws and save all screws. Carefully remove your old unit from the wall. Reverse the procedure for installation. Also check your unit's installation instructions. If you need further assistance, check out online videos at YouTube. Hope this helps!
