The shoulder strap clamp must be installed as shown above the assist handle on the engine end shaft. NOTE: The lower shoulder strap clamp has two spacer tabs attached. These tabs are provided to adapt this attachment for use with units that have a 1 inch (2, 5 cm) diameter shaft (the shoulder strap clamp will not tighten down securely on the 1 inch (2, 5 cm) diameter 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 needed for units with a 7/8 (2, 2 cm) shaft. LOWER SHOULDER STRAP CLAMP Spacer Tabs 3. Secure shoulder strap clamp by tightening screws with the hex wrench. Try on shoulder strap and adjust for fit and balance before starting the engine or beginning a cutting operation. Insert your right arm and head through the shoulder strap and allow it to rest on your left shoulder. Make sure the danger sign is on your back and the hook is to the right side of your waist. NOTE: A one-half twist is built in the shoulder strap to allow the strap to rest flat on the shoulder. Adjust the strap, allowing the hook to be about 3 - 6 inches (8 - 15 cm) below the waist. Fasten the strap hook to the upper clamp and lift the tool to the operating position.
