harness clamp before tightening screws.
2. Insert two screws into the screw holes.
3. Secure harness clamp by tightening screws

Adjusting the harness
At the front of the 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.
Spreading the load on your shoulders
A well-adjusted harness and machine makes work
much easier.
Put on the harness. Adjust the harness for the best
working position. Tension the side straps so that
the weight is evenly distributed across both
shoulders.
NOTE: It may be necessary to relocate the
harness clamp on the shaft for proper
balancing of unit.
Correct height
Adjust the harness so that the cutting attachment
is parallel to the ground.
