The petrol brushcutter should always be checked for grease in the gearbox. And also you need to remember to fill the fuel into the tank, adhering to the information in the instructions. Usually oil is mixed with gasoline in a ratio of 50: 1. But it is better to find out from the passport or instructions from the manufacturer.

Trimmer running-in means the unit is idling. When mowing for the first time, it is best to eliminate the grass with a line. The load on the machine should be increased gradually. After running-in, the trimmer should operate for no more than 15 minutes. In rain or wet weather, it is best not to use the electric trimmer. The same is not desirable in the case of a gasoline engine. During operation, the equipment should not be wet.

The Husqvarna carburetor must be adjusted in the following cases:

• after the end of the engine running-in, when the first 4–5 liters of fuel have been used;
• when the amount of fuel constituents changes;
• after a sharp change in ambient temperature;
• after winter downtime;
• if the adjustment screws turned on their own at the moment of vibration;
• when the load on the engine changes.

Before starting to adjust the carburetor, it is worth carrying out maintenance on the unit. A sign of a correct procedure is speed, evenness and confidence in the set of revolutions, while the trimmer head should not rotate at idle speed. Starting this type of machine is usually simple and easy. To start the unit, it is enough to carry out a few movements.

The gearbox is considered the most stressed part of the trimmer and therefore requires lubrication. When lubricating, the individual characteristics of the machine must be taken into account. Gearbox grease is consumed depending on the ambient temperature. The user of a petrol brush should remember that the coil is considered the most wear-out element in it. Therefore, after the winter downtime in the unit, it is worth changing the line to a new one and adjusting the operation of the machine.

Any type of equipment can be damaged, and Husqvarna trimmers are no exception. The owner of the unit should not be afraid of malfunctions, since they can be easily eliminated, and worn parts can be replaced with new ones. Sometimes the brushcutter does not start, does not develop speed, stalls when you press the gas, or it has a drop in power. When the causes of the problem are known, you can try to fix the problem yourself or seek help from specialists.

To find out why the brushcutter does not start, it is worth diagnosing. The reason for this may be a lack of fuel or its poor quality, therefore, you need to pour as much fuel into the fuel tank as required by the instructions. It is also better not to use the remaining fuel in the tank if it has been in it for a long time.
