    ANTI-VIBRATION SYSTEM Description The anti-vibration system reduces the vibra- tions which pass from the engine and cutting equipment to the handles. The anti-vibration system consists either of rubber elements or coil springs. The system’s movement limitation consists of side absorbers and/or stop screws. Dismantling The tank unit must be removed from the engine sub-assembly to access the anti-vibration system.
