To start the Husqvarna 122C Trimmer, ensure the trimmer is on a flat surface. Turn the ignition switch to the "on" position, press the primer bulb 6 times, set the choke to the choke position, and pull the starter rope until the engine fires. Once it fires, move the choke to the half-choke position and pull again until it starts.
Use a mixture of unleaded gasoline and high-quality 2-cycle oil at a ratio of 50:1. The gasoline should have a minimum octane rating of 87 and the oil should be designed for air-cooled engines.
To replace the trimmer line, turn off the trimmer and disconnect the spark plug. Remove the spool by pressing the release tabs. Cut approximately 10 feet of trimmer line and insert it into the hole on the spool. Wind the line tightly in the direction indicated on the spool and secure it in the notches. Reattach the spool and cover.
If the trimmer stalls after starting, it could be due to a clogged air filter, stale fuel, or incorrect carburetor settings. Check and clean the air filter, replace old fuel, and adjust the carburetor according to the manual specifications.
The air filter should be checked and cleaned after every 5 hours of operation. If you use the trimmer in dusty conditions, you may need to clean it more frequently. Replace the filter if it's damaged or heavily soiled.
Regular maintenance includes checking and cleaning the air filter, inspecting the spark plug, lubricating the drive shaft, and ensuring the trimmer head is in good condition. Refer to the manual for a detailed maintenance schedule.
If the trimmer won't start, check the fuel level and quality, inspect the spark plug for wear or damage, ensure the air filter is clean, and verify that the ignition switch is on. Additionally, check for a clogged fuel line or carburetor issues.
Excessive vibration can be caused by a misaligned or damaged trimmer head, loose parts, or an imbalance in the cutting line. Inspect the trimmer head for damage, ensure all parts are securely fastened, and make sure the cutting line is evenly distributed.
Yes, the Husqvarna 122C can be used for edging by turning the trimmer head to a vertical position. Make sure to maintain a steady hand to achieve clean, precise edges along sidewalks and driveways.
To store the trimmer for winter, drain the fuel tank and run the engine until it stops. Clean the trimmer thoroughly, inspect for any damage, and store it in a dry, cool place. Consider applying a light layer of oil to metal parts to prevent rust.
