as shown in the diagram.

Fitting the harness
WARNING:
When using a
brushcutter, it must always be
hooked securely to the harness.
Otherwise, you will be unable to
control the brushcutter safely.
This can result in injury to yourself
or others.
Proper harness and handlebar adjust-
ments must be made with the engine com-
pletely stopped before using unit.

shaft and position the lower harness
clamp under the shaft. Align the upper
and lower clamp screw holes. Clamp

ASSEMBLY

S Insert two screws into the screw holes.
S Secure harness clamp by tightening
screws with a hex wrench.
Adjusting the harness
S Insert your right arm and head through
the harness and allow it to rest on your
left shoulder. Make sure the harness
hook is to the right side of your waist.
NOTE:
A one-half twist is built in the har-
ness to allow the harness to rest flat on the
shoulder.
S Adjust the harness, allowing the hook to
be about 15 cm below the waist.
S Fasten the harness to the harness clamp
on the shaft and lift the unit to the operat-
ing position.
S Put on the harness. Now make a final
adjustment so that the unit is in a com-
fortable working position when it hangs
from the harness.
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 at-
tachment is parallel to the ground.
