SLIDE HARNESS CLAMP UP AND DOWN SHAFT, AND ROTATE IT UNTIL TOOL HEAD HANGS LEVEL JUST ABOVE GROUND

SEE THE OPERATOR’S MANUAL FOR PROPER HANDLE INSTALLATION.

Use a shoulder harness when provided or when recommended in this manual. Adjust both harness and the harness clamp on the unit so the unit hangs with the cutting head a few inches above ground level. The cutting head and debris shield should be level in all directions. Harness the unit on the right side as shown.

a)Slide harness clamp up and down the shaft to find the right balance. Rotate the clamp to level the cutting head and debris shield. Lock in position. If the harness clamp is a free-spinning type, the unit may tend to roll over side- ways; however, you should still level the head and shield on the front-to-rear axis.

b)Balancing and leveling, as above, may require relocation of the clamp and readjustment of the harness straps. Also, each type of cutting head and debris shield mounted on the unit may require balancing.

NOTE

A person’s size can affect the balancing adjustment. Also, the balancing procedure may not work with some ECHO units on some persons. If the procedure does not work for you, please ask your ECHO servicing dealer for assistance.
