Adjusting the harness
1
Tighten the hip strap so that it sits securely.
2
Tighten the chest strap under your left arm so that it
fits closely around your body.
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 suspension hook as described
in the instructions for the standard harness. (Forestry
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.

The elastic strap (B) can be tightened to transfer more
load from the shoulder straps to the hip strap.
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.
