Husqvarna 250 R manual Assembly, Adjusting the harness, Correct balance, Forestry clearing

ASSEMBLY

Adjusting the harness

1 Tighten the hip strap so that it sits securely.

2Tighten the chest strap under your left arm so that it fits closely around your body.

3Adjust the shoulder strap to distribute the load evenly across your shoulders. Press downwards on the suspension hook to load the harness.

4Adjust the height of the suspension hook as described in the instructions for the standard harness. (Forestry clearing)

5If you need to lower the suspension hook, for trimming for example, move the suspension strap (A) to the lower mounting point on the backplate.

6The 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.
