SHOULDER STRAP ASSEMBLY
A WARNING: Proper shoulder strap
and handlebar adjustments are required
before use. The shoulder strap clamp
must be installed as shown above the
handlebar on the upper shaft (power-
head end of unit).
NOTE; The lower shoulder strap
clamp has two spacer tabs attached.
These tabs are provided to adapt this
attachment for use with powerheads
that have a 1'' diameter upper shaft
(the shoulder strap clamp will not tight­
en down securely on the 1" diameter
upper shaft without using these spacer
tabs). The tabs must be broken off
completely before use and placed over
the screw holes on the lower shoulder
strap clamp. These tabs are not need­
ed for powerheads with a 7/8” upper
shaft.
