I am sorry that you did not receive the installation instructions. To attach to the blower frame, the tubing must be slit lengthwise and wrapped around the frame before attaching the adapter plate with the 2 small U-bolts. The tubing will protect the frame and help hold the plate in place. Tighten the lock nuts until the plate starts to compress the tubing and it is held securely in place. Do not over tighten. Make sure the nylon locking element in the nut fully engages the thread of the U-bolt. There must be at least 3/8-inch of thread showing after tightening. After tightening, hang the blower on the rack using the large hole in the adapter plate.
