SHOULDER HARNESS

ADJUSTMENT

At the front of the shoulder harness is an easily accessible quick release. Use the quick release in any emergency situation that requires you to free yourself from the machine and harness.

1.Put on the harness. Adjust the harness for the best working position.

2.Tension the side straps so that the weight is evenly distributed across both shoul- ders.

7.The handlebar mounting must be fitted between the arrows on the shaft.

8.Tighten the screws with a hex wrench.

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.

ATTACHING SHOULDER HARNESS CLAMP
