a) Slide suspension point up and down the tube to find
the right balance. Rotate the clamp to level the
cutting attachment and shield. Lock in position. If the
suspension point is a free-spinning type, the unit may
tend to roll over sideways, however, you should still
level the attachment and shield on the front-to-rear
axis.
b) Balancing and levelling, as above, may require
relocation of the clamp and readjustment of the
harness straps. Also, each type of cutting attachment
and shield mounted on the unit may require
balancing.

PREPARATION
Use a shoulder harness when provided or when recom-
mended in this manual. Adjust both harness and the
suspension point on the unit so the unit hangs with the
cutting attachment a few centimetres above ground
level. The cutting attachment and shield should be level
in all directions. Harness the unit on the right side as
shown.
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.

ECHO TRIMMERS AND BRUSHCUTTERS ARE
DESIGNED TO FIT A WIDE VARIETY OF BODY
SIZES, BUT MAY NOT BE ADJUSTABLE FOR
