Adjusting the balance
Adjusting the shoulder harness
ECHO trimmers and brushcutters are designed to fit a wide variety of body sizes, but may not be adjustable for extreme-
ly 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 ECHO units on some
persons. If the shoulder harness does not fit you or cannot be adjusted well, please ask your ECHO DEALER for assistance.

Before you start
The accompanying shoulder harness is suitable for people of
standard adult physique, who are 150 cm - 195 cm in height and
60 cm - 140 cm in waist size.
Use a shoulder harness when provided or when recommended in
this manual. Adjust both harness and the suspension point on the
unit so the unit hangs with the cutting attachment a few centime-
tres above ground level.
The cutting attachment and shield should be level in all direc-
tions. Harness the unit on the right side as shown.
a) Slide suspension point up and down the tube to find the right
balance. Rotate the clamp to level the cutting attachment and
shield. Lock in position. If the suspension point is a free-spin-
ning type, the unit may tend to roll over sideways, however,
you should still level the attachment and shield on the front-to-
rear axis.
b) Balancing and levelling, as above, may require relocation of
the clamp and readjustment of the harness straps. Also, each
type of cutting attachment and shield mounted on the unit may
require balancing.
Do not install the suspension point to be located farther
from you than the arrow mark ( ).
