To start the Husqvarna 345 FR Trimmer, ensure the stop switch is set to "ON", press the primer bulb repeatedly until fuel is visible, set the choke control to the choke position, and pull the starter handle until the engine fires. Then push the choke control in and pull the starter handle again until the engine starts.
The correct fuel mixture for the Husqvarna 345 FR Trimmer is 50:1, which means 2.6 ounces of two-stroke oil per gallon of gasoline. Always use fresh, unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 89.
If the trimmer won't start, check the fuel tank for proper fuel mix, inspect the spark plug for wear or fouling, ensure the air filter is clean, and verify that the stop switch is set to "ON". Ensure the choke is set correctly for starting.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the air filter, checking and replacing the spark plug as needed, inspecting the trimmer head for wear, tightening all screws and nuts, and lubricating the drive shaft. Refer to the user manual for a detailed maintenance schedule.
To replace the trimmer line, first ensure the trimmer is off and cool. Remove the trimmer head cover, remove any remaining line, and insert new line by threading it through the eyelets on the spool. Follow the directional arrows on the spool to wind the line properly before reassembling.
If the trimmer line keeps breaking, check for correct installation and ensure you are using the recommended line diameter. Avoid contact with hard surfaces, and ensure the line is not too brittle due to age or exposure to sunlight.
The air filter should be checked and cleaned after every 25 hours of use or more frequently in dusty conditions. Replace the air filter if it shows signs of damage or excessive dirt that cannot be cleaned.
Excessive vibration can be caused by an unbalanced or damaged cutting attachment, loose components, or a bent drive shaft. Inspect the cutting head for damage and ensure all screws and components are tight. Consider having a professional inspect the drive shaft if the issue persists.
Adjusting the carburetor should be done carefully. First, locate the adjustment screws on the carburetor. Use a screwdriver to adjust the idle speed and mixture screws according to the specifications in the user manual. It is advisable to have a professional make these adjustments to avoid engine damage.
Always wear protective gear, including goggles, gloves, ear protection, and sturdy footwear. Ensure the work area is clear of bystanders and obstacles. Never operate the trimmer with damaged or missing parts, and always follow the manufacturer's guidelines for safe operation.
