3.6 Hipmounting/Chestmount
Hipmounting is an alternative to mounting the detector on the shaft and
significantly reduces physical strain, enabling longer search time without
undue fatigue. A hipmount bag is available as an accessory item
for this purpose.
a) Check that there are charged batteries in the control box.
b) Place the control box into the hipmount bag with its control panel
facing outwards (see figure 7).
c) Place the hipmount bag in your preferred
working configuration. The hipmount bag can
be worn on the belt or over the shoulder.
Note: If mounting the hipmount bag on the chest,
a belt can be thread through the belt loop and
around the chest to hold the bag in position.
d) Wind about 5 turns of the cable around the
shaft. This will reduce the amount of excess
cable.
