ASSEMBLY
18 – English
3 Adjust the shoulder strap to distribute the load evenly
across your shoulders. Press downwards on the
suspension hook to load the harness.
4 Adjust the height of the hanging ring as per the
instructions. (Forest clearing)
5 If you need to lower the suspension hook, for trimming
for example, move the suspension strap (A) to the
lower mounting point on the backplate.
6 The elastic strap (B) can be tightened to transfer more
load from the shoulder straps to the hip strap.
Correct height
1 Forestry clearing
The machine should be supported in a harness when
forestry clearing so that the cutting equipment is
angled slightly forwards in relation to the ground.
Adjust the height using the strap on the harness for
the support hook.
2 Grass clearing
The machine should be supported in a harness when
grass clearing so that the cutting equipment is parallel
to the ground.
Correct balance
1 Forestry clearing
The machine is balanced by moving the suspension
ring on the machine forwards or backwards. On some
models the suspension ring is fixed, however, this will
then have a number of holes for the support hook. The
machine is correctly balanced when it freely hangs
horizontally from the support hook. In this way the risk
of hitting stones is reduced if you need to release the
handlebar.
2 Grass clearing
Let the blade balance at a comfortable cutting height,
i.e. close to the ground.
