ASSEMBLY
2 Tighten the hip strap so that it sits securely.
3The hip belt should hang roughly in line with the hip bone.
4Press the breast plate together.
5 Attach the side belt to the breast plate.
6To relieve pressure on the rib cage, it is possible to connect the side belt with a belt to the hip pad. (Suitable for females).
7Adjust the shoulder strap to distribute the load evenly across your shoulders. Press downwards on the suspension hook to load the harness.
8Adjust the side belts to fit around the rib cage until the breast plate is centred on the chest.
Adjust the height of the hanging ring as per the instructions. (For forest clearing, the suspension should hang approx. 10 cm below your hip bone.)
9If you need to lower the suspension hook, for trimming for example, move the suspension strap (A) to the lower mounting point on the backplate. The front belt that is attached to the breast plate can also be adjusted if necessary.
10The elastic strap (B) can be tightened to transfer more load from the shoulder straps to the hip strap.
Correct balance
1Forestry clearing
The machine is balanced by moving the suspension ring on the machine forwards or backwards. On some models the suspension ring is fixed, however, this will then have a number of holes for the support hook.The machine is correctly balanced when it freely hangs horizontally from the support hook. In this way the risk of hitting stones is reduced if you need to release the handlebar.
2Grass clearing
Let the blade balance at a comfortable cutting height, i.e. close to the ground.
