SHOULDER STRAP ASSEMBLY

WARNING: Proper shoulder strap and handle adjustments are required before use. The shoulder strap clamp must be installed as shown above the assist handle on the engine end shaft.

NOTE: The lower shoulder strap clamp has two spacer tabs attached. These tabs are provided to adapt this attachment for use with units that have a 1 inch (2,5 cm) diameter shaft (the shoulder strap clamp will not tighten down securely on the 1 inch (2,5 cm) diameter shaft without using these spacer tabs). The tabs must be broken off completely before use and placed over the screw holes on the lower shoulder strap clamp. These tabs are not needed for units with a 7/8″ (2,2 cm) shaft.
