SHOULDER
STRAP ASSEMBLY
WARNING:
Proper shoulder
strap and handle adjustments are re-
quired before use. The shoulder strap
clamp must be installed as shown
above the assist handle on the upper
shaft (powerhead end of unit).
NOTE:
The lower shoulder
strap
clamp has two spacer tabs attached.
These tabs are provided to adapt this
attachment
for use with powerheads
that have a 1" (2.5 cm) diameter up-
per shaft (the shoulder
strap clamp will
not tighten down securely on the 1"
(2.5 cm) diameter
upper shaft without
using these spacer tabs). The tabs
must be broken off completely
before
use and placed over the screw holes
on the lower shoulder strap clamp.
These tabs are not needed for power-
heads with a 7/8" (2.2 cm) upper
shaft.
