Adjusting The Harness - Husqvarna 356BTX-series Operator's Manual

Fuel safety
• Always use a fuel container with an anti-spill valve.
• Never refuel the machine while the engine is running.
Always stop the engine and let it cool for a few minutes
before refuelling.
• Make sure there is plenty of ventilation when refuelling
or mixing fuel (petrol and 2-stroke oil).
• Avoid all skin contact with fuel. Fuel is a skin irritant
and may even cause skin changes.
• Move the machine at least 3 m from the refuelling
point before starting it.
• Never start the machine:
- If you have spilt fuel on it. Wipe off the spillage and
allow remaining fuel to evaporate.
- If you have spilt fuel on yourself or your clothes, change
your clothes. Wash any part of your body that has come
in contact with fuel. Use soap and water.
- If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for leaks
from the fuel cap and fuel lines.
Transport and storage
• Store and transport the machine and fuel so that there
is no risk of any leakage or fumes coming into contact
with sparks or naked flames, for example, from
electrical machinery, electric motors, electrical relays/
switches or boilers.
• When storing and transporting fuel always use
approved containers intended for this purpose.
• When storing the machine for long periods the fuel
tank must be emptied. Contact your local petrol
station to find out where to dispose of excess fuel.
• Ensure the machine is cleaned and that a complete
service is carried out before long-term storage.
• Secure the machine during transport.
WARNING! Take care when handling fuel.
!
Bear in mind the risk of fire, explosion
and inhaling fumes.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Adjusting the harness

WARNING! The harness must always be
!
worn when working with the machine.
Failure to do so means you will be unable
to manoeuvre safely and this can result
in injury to yourself or others.
A correctly adjusted harness and machine significantly
facilitates the work. Adjust the harness to give the best
working position.
Tighten the side straps so that the pressure is evenly
distributed across the shoulders.
Place the hip strap over the hip and not too far down on
the stomach. Tighten the hip strap so that you feel the
weight of the blower resting on your hip.
