6.1.1 Using harnesses
The belts must be adjusted to suit
the operator's height and build.
Always use a harness that is suited
to the weight of the machine:
– for machines weighing less than 7.5 kg,
single or double belt models can be used;
– the double belt model must be used for
machines weighing more than 7.5 kg.
• Models with single belt
The harness must be put on before connecting
the machine to the special coupling.
The belt (Fig. 19.A) must go from the
left shoulder to the right hip.
The belt must be worn with:
– the machine's support (Fig. 19.A.1),
the snap-hook (Fig. 19.A.2) and
the quick release (Fig. 19.A.3)
coupling on the right side;
• Models with double belt
The harness must be put on before connecting
the machine to the special coupling.
The belt (Fig. 19.B) must be worn with:
– the machine's support (Fig. 19.B.1),
the snap-hook (Fig. 19.B.2) and
the quick release (Fig. 19.B.3)
coupling on the right side;
– the quick release in front (Fig. 19.B.3);
– the belts cross-over on the
operator's back (Fig. 19.B.4);
– the buckles properly fastened (Fig. 19.B.5).
The belts must be tensioned so that the load
is evenly distributed on the shoulders.
• Models with back-pack harness
Harness with back-pack must be
worn after starting the machine.
The harness (Fig. 19.C) must be worn with:
– the harness straps on the operator's
shoulders (Fig. 19.C.1);
– the buckles properly fastened (Fig. 19.C.2).
– the snap-hook coupling on the
right side (Fig. 19.C.3);
– the quick release in front (Fig. 19.C.4).
The belts must be tensioned so that the load
