Harness quick release
There is an easily accessible, harness

See instructions under the heading Adjust-
ing the harness.
Check that the harness straps are correctly
positioned. Once the harness and machine

incorrect cutting attachment increases the
level of vibration.

Start the machine and apply full throttle.
Release the throttle and check that the
cutting attachment stops and remains at a
standstill. If the cutting attachment rotates
with the throttle in the idle position then the
carburettor idle setting must be chec ked.
