14 STIHL AR Backpack Battery
To help reduce the risk of injury in the event of an
emergency, practice quickly opening the fasteners on the
waist belt and chest strap, loosening the shoulder straps and
removing the battery.
NOTICE
To avoid damage, ease the battery to the ground when
practicing. Do not allow the battery to drop to the ground and
do not throw it.
14.1 Positioning and Adjusting the Connecting Cord
WARNING
If using an AR series battery or AP series battery in a battery
bag with connecting cord always use a lift bucket for in-tree
use and maintenance. Do not climb in the tree.
WARNING
Place your left hand on the front handle and your right hand
on the control handle. Left-handers must follow these
instructions too. (See illustration, Chapter @ 5.5.2). One-
handed operation increases the risk of injury. Accordingly, to
reduce the risk of personal injury, run the connecting cord
through the guide on the shoulder strap on the opertor's right
side only. Never run the cord through the guides on the
shoulder strap on the operator's left side.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from tripping or losing control of
the chain saw, always secure the connecting cord through
the backpack guides and with the hook and eye fasteners as
described below. Position and secure the connecting cord
on your right side and so that it will not interfere with proper
working technique or your ability to maintain control of the
chain saw.
WARNING
Manage the cord to prevent it from contacting the saw chain
or catching on objects, which could cause you to lose
balance or control of the chain saw, resulting in serious
personal injury and property damage.
The connecting cord can be secured in different positions
and adjusted to suit the height and reach of the operator.
The connecting cord can run through the guides on the
shoulder strap (Illustration A) or along the back
plate (Illustration B). Secure the connecting cord to the
backpack with the hook and eye fasteners (1) on the right
side of the operator's body, where the chain saw is held and
controlled. Do not allow the connecting cord to swing across
your body or hang at your side.
The length of the connecting cord can be adjusted by
making a loop around the top (Illustration C) or on the side
(Illustration D) of the backpack battery.
