Adjusting the shoulder harness
This product is designed to fit a wide variety of body sizes, but may not be adjustable for extremely tall persons.
Do not use the unit if your feet can reach the cutting attachment when the unit is attached to the harness.

IMPORTANT

A person's size can affect the balancing adjustment. Also the balancing procedure may not work with some units on some per-
sons. If the shoulder harness does not fit you or cannot be adjusted well, please ask your dealer for assistance.

WARNING
1. Turn the product upside down so the gearcase output shaft
is facing UP and remove the shaft bolt, bolt guard and holder
B from the gearcase shaft.
2. Align the hole in blade holder A with the matching hole in the
gearcase flange and then temporarily lock the output shaft
by inserting a L-wrench through both holes.
Install the blade so its printed surface is visible to the
operator when the brushcutter is in the normal operat-
ing position.
The blade must fit flat against the holder flange. The
blade mounting hole must be centered over the raised
boss on blade holder A.
3. Fit the blade over the flange on holder A.
4. Install blade holder B on the output shaft. The recess in the
holder must fit tightly against the blade.
5. Install the bolt guard and then the blade retaining bolt. Using
the socket wrench, tighten the bolt firmly in a counter-clock-
wise direction.
6. Remove the L-wrench.
1. Hook the harness hook to the hanger on the outer tube.
2. Wear the shoulder harness so that the hook stays at your
right hand side.
3. Adjust the length of the shoulder harness so that you can
hold and operate the machine comfortably.
IMPORTANT
Adjust the shoulder harness so the shoulder pad rests comfort-
ably on the off-side shoulder and the cutting path of the cutting
attachment is parallel to the ground. Make sure all hooks and
adjustment devices are secure.
Always wear a shoulder harness when operating this
product with a blade.
