1. Hold the trimmer head and the trimmer line parallel to the ground and above the ground.
2. Apply full throttle.
3. Move the trimmer head from side to side and sweep the grass.

WARNING: Clean the trimmer head cover each time you assemble new trimmer line to prevent unbalance and vibrations in the handles. Also do a check of the other parts of the trimmer head and clean it if necessary.

To extend the trimmer line

- When the trimmer line becomes short during operation, tap the trimmer head on a hard, flat surface to extend more trimmer line. You must operate the product at full speed to get the best result. (Fig. 51)

To replace the trimmer line

1. Hold the lower half (A) of the trimmer head with one hand. Use your opposite hand to turn the top half (B) of the trimmer head. (Fig. 52)
   a) For straight shaft grass trimmers, turn the top half of the trimmer head clockwise.
   b) For curved shaft grass trimmers, turn the top half of the trimmer head counterclockwise.

Note: It is not necessary to push the top half of the trimmer head down when you turn it.

Note: When you turn the top half of the trimmer head, you will hear a click.

1. Continue to turn the top half of the trimmer head until the triangle (C) aligns with the hole (D).
2. Remove and discard the remaining trimmer line.
3. Cut approximately 6.7 m/22 ft of new trimmer line.
4. Put 1 end of the trimmer line into 1 of the holes. (Fig. 53)
5. Push the trimmer line through the trimmer head and through the opposite hole. (Fig. 54)

6. Pull the trimmer line through the trimmer head until there is an equal length of trimmer line on each side.

7. Hold the lower half of the trimmer head stable with one hand. Use your opposite hand to turn the top half of the trimmer head. Continue to turn the top half of the trimmer head until approximately 127 mm/5 in of the trimmer line is extended from each hole. (Fig. 55)

a) For straight shaft grass trimmers, turn the top half (E) of the trimmer head clockwise.
b) For curved shaft grass trimmers, turn the top half (F) of the trimmer head counterclockwise.

Note: If the trimmer line is too long on one side of the trimmer head, cut the trimmer line to the correct length.

To adjust the cutting path

You can adjust the trimmer line cutter to decrease or increase the cutting path. Decrease the cutting path to trim thick grass. Increase the cutting path to trim large areas.

1. Remove the 2 screws from the cutter on the trimmer guard. (Fig. 56)

2. Turn the cutter. (Fig. 57)

3. Install the 2 screws. (Fig. 58)

To examine and clean the trimmer head

1. Push the tabs (A) to remove the lower half (B) of the trimmer head. (Fig. 59)
2. Remove the spool (C).
3. Remove and discard any pieces of trimmer line and any unwanted material from the trimmer head and spool.
4. Put the spool in the lower half.
5. Attach the top half (D). Make sure that all parts are in the correct position and are correctly aligned.
6. Turn the assembled trimmer head with your hand. Make sure that the top and bottom halves are fully closed and the tabs are fully engaged.
7. To replace the trimmer line see To replace the trimmer line on page 18.

Maintenance

To adjust the idle speed

Your Husqvarna product is made to specifications that decrease harmful emissions.

1. Make sure that the air filter is clean and that the air filter cover is attached to the product.
2. Turn the idle speed screw (T) clockwise until the cutting attachment starts to turn. (Fig. 60)
3. Turn the idle speed screw (T) counterclockwise until the cutting attachment stops.

The idle speed is correct when the engine operates smoothly in all positions. The idle speed must be below the speed when the cutting attachment starts to turn.

Note: Refer to Technical data on page 22 for the recommended idle speed.

WARNING: If the cutting attachment does not stop when you adjust the idle speed, speak to your servicing dealer. Do not use the product until it is correctly adjusted or repaired.

To do a check of the muffler

WARNING: Do not use a product that has a damaged muffler.

WARNING: Do not use the product if the spark arrester screen on the muffler is missing or damaged.

WARNING: The muffler becomes very hot during and after operation and also at idle speed. Use protective gloves to prevent burn injuries.

The muffler keeps noise levels to a minimum and points exhaust fumes away from the operator.

1. Stop the engine.
2. Examine the muffler for damage.

WARNING: The inner surfaces of the muffler contain chemicals that can cause cancer. Be careful not to touch these elements if the muffler is damaged.

1. Make sure that the muffler is correctly attached to the product. (Fig. 61)
2. Do a visual check of the spark arrester screen. (Fig. 62)

a) Replace the spark arrester screen if it is damaged.

b) Clean the spark arrester screen if it is blocked.

CAUTION: If the spark arrester screen is blocked the product becomes too hot and this causes damage to the cylinder and piston.

To clean the cooling system

CAUTION: A dirty or blocked cooling system can make the product too hot, which can cause damage to the product.

The parts of the cooling system are the air intake on the starter (A), the cooling fins on the cylinder (B) and the cylinder cover (C).

1. Clean the cooling system with a brush weekly or more frequently if it is necessary. (Fig. 63)
2. Make sure that the cooling system is not dirty or blocked.

To examine the spark plug

CAUTION: Always use the recommended spark plug type. Incorrect spark plug type can cause damage to the product.

• Examine the spark plug if the engine is low on power, is not easy to start or does not operate correctly at idle speed.
• To decrease the risk of unwanted material on the spark plug electrodes, obey these instructions:
  a) Make sure that the idle speed is correctly adjusted.
  b) Make sure that the fuel mixture is correct.
  c) Make sure that the air filter is clean.
• If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and make sure that the electrode gap is correct, refer to Technical data on page 22. (Fig. 64)
• Replace the spark plug if it is necessary.

Air filter

Remove dust and dirt from the air filter to keep it clean and prevent these problems:

• Carburetor malfunctions.
• Problems when you start the product.

• Loss of engine power.

• Increased wear to engine parts.

• Too much fuel consumption.

To clean the air filter

1. Remove the air filter cover and remove the filter.
2. Hit the filter against a flat surface to make the particles fall off.

CAUTION: Do not use solvent or compressed air to clean the air filter.

1. Put the air filter back. Make sure that the air filter fully seals against the air filter holder.

2. Put the air filter cover back.

Note: An air filter that is used for a long time cannot be fully cleaned. Replace the air filter at regular intervals. Always replace a damaged air filter.

Bevel gear

The bevel gear is filled with the right quantity of grease at the factory. But, before you use the product, make sure that the bevel gear is 3/4 full with grease. Use Husqvarna special grease. (Fig. 65)

The grease in the bevel gear does not need to be changed unless repairs are carried out.

Two piece-shaft

Apply grease to the end of the drive shaft after each 30 hours of operation. There is a risk that the drive shaft ends (splined coupling) on models with two-piece shafts will seize if they are not lubricated regularly. (Fig. 66)
