ASSEMBLY OF SHOULDER HARNESS

WARNING: When using a brushcut- ter, it must always be hooked securely to the shoulder harness. Otherwise, you will be un- able to safely control the brushcutter. This can result in injury to yourself or others.

Proper shoulder harness and handlebar adjust- ments must be made with the engine complete- ly stopped before using unit. A well--adjusted shoulder harness and machine makes work much easier.
