by adjusting the length of the shoulder straps
until the machine is perfectly in contact with your
back and shoulders.
Note that correct balancing of the machine is
especially important when working on gradients.

the movement shown in Fig. 8.
In the presence of danger, release the machine
from your shoulders by proceeding as follows:
1. Use one hand to press the quick release tabs
on the right-hand shoulder strap (shown in
the box in Fig. 6) as shown in Fig. 9.
2. Accompany the machine by bending your
upper body slightly to the left: the mist blower
will slide off your shoulders.
