6.1.2 Using the harness
The harness must be put on before connecting
the machine to the special coupling and the belts
must be adjusted to suit the operator's height and
build.
Always use an appropriate harness for the weight
of the machine:
– for machines weighing less than 7.5 kg,
single or double strap models can be used;
– for machines weighing more than 7.5 kg,
only the double strap model should be used.
• Single strap models
The harness must be worn before securing the
machine to the attachment.
The strap (Fig. 14.A) must pass over the left
shoulder, towards the right side.
The strap must be worn with:
– the support (Fig. 14.A.1), the machine's
carabiner hook (Fig.14.A.2). and the quick
release hook (Fig. 14.A.3) on the right side.
• Double strap models
The harness must be worn before securing the
machine to the attachment.
The strap (Fig. 14.B) must be worn with:
– the support (Fig. 14.B.1), the machine's
carbine hook (Fig. 14.B.2) and the quick
release (Fig. 14.B.3) located on the right
side.
– the quick release at the front (Fig. 14.B.3);
– the strap crossover on the back of the
operator (Fig. 14.B.4);
– the buckles correctly fastened (Fig. 14.B.5).
The straps must be tightened so that they
distribute the load evenly over the shoulders.
6.1.3 Use of the backpack (if available)
1. Insert the battery in one of the
compartments of the battery backpack
(Fig. 10) and push it completely,
until hearing the click that signals
its locking in position, ensuring
thus the electrical contact;
2. Connect the cable to the backpack
in the specific socket (Fig. 11.A) and
rotate it until hearing the specific click
that signals its locking in position,
ensuring thus the electrical contact;
3. adjust the straps and close the
harness in the front (Fig. 15).
