PREPARING TO WORK
HARNESS (4S, Fig. 1)
Correct adjustment of the harness permits the
brush cutter to be properly balanced and at an
appropriate height from the ground (Fig. 10).
- Put on the single harness.
- Hook the brush cutter to the harness using the
hook (A, Fig. 10).
- Position the hook (19, Fig. 1) to obtain the best
brush cutter balance.
- Position the buckle to obtain the correct brush
cutter height.
CORRECT ADJUSTMENT OF THE HARNESS
DS 3500 T - BC 350 T models
1. Put on the double harness (4T, Fig.1).
2. Fasten the waist buckle (A, Fig.12) and adjust
by tightening the top belt strap (B) until
comfortable.
3. Fasten the chest buckle (C).
4. Adjust the shoulders by tightening the two
straps (D, Fig.13) until comfortable. With this
type of harness, the weight of the machine can
be distributed between shoulders and waist
according to the preference of the operator.
5. Adjust the chest strap (E, Fig.12).
6. Hook the brushcutter to the harness with the
snap (A, Fig.10).
7. Adjust the carrying height by shortening or
lengthening the belt straps (H-L, Fig.14). The
correct distance between the belt and the
snap can be measured as in Fig.10. This
adjustment will also help to distribute the
weight of the brushcutter so that it stays
comfortably balanced during operation.
WARNING! – When using wood-cutting
blades (22-60-80 teeth) a double harness with
quick-release mechanism must be worn.
