Left Hand Operation

Some users of the BP45 may wish to 

operate the unit left handed. It is very 

important to follow these instructions if you 

wish to do so.
1.  Loosen the exhaust outlet clamp and 

rotate the exhaust outlet approximately 

90 degrees counterclockwise as viewed 

from the top of the powerhead.

2.  Tighten the clamp screw firmly to 

prevent the outlet from moving out of 

position.

3.  Put unit on, and in the operating 

position, check exhaust outlet to make 

sure exhaust flow is out and to the side 

of the operator. Readjust if necessary.

1.  Holding the outer tube with your right 

hand, shoulder the left side strap on 

your left shoulder.

2.  Holding the outer tube with your left 

hand and shoulder the right side strap 

on your right shoulder.

Emergency Release

In case of emergency, strongly pull the 

red tab on your left chest, and pull off the 

pin. The machine will be released from 

your left shoulder. Practice how to release 

before use.

3.  Fasten the chest belt.

4.  Adjust the length of the right and left 

strap so that the back strap stays a little 

high on your hip.

5.  Adjust the shoulder pads so that they 

stay on both shoulders.

6.  Adjust the length of the chest belt so 

that the back pad properly stays on your 

back.
