6.1.2 Using the harness (if available)
The harness must be put on before connecting
the machine to the special coupling (Fig.
4.A, 4.C) and the belts must be adjusted
to suit the operator's height and build.
The belt (Fig. 9.A) must pass over the
right or left shoulder and follow the side.
Never wear the harness across your
body. Wear it over just one shoulder so
you can rapidly move the machine away
from your body in case of danger.
6.1.3 Use of the backpack (if available)
1. Insert the battery in one of the
compartments of the battery backpack
(Fig. 6) 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. 7.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. 10).
