To start the Husqvarna 525 LK Trimmer, first ensure the stop switch is in the "I" or "Start" position. Press the primer bulb six times, then pull the starter handle until the engine fires. Set the choke to the open position and pull the starter handle again until the engine starts.
The recommended maintenance schedule for the Husqvarna 525 LK Trimmer includes: checking the air filter and cleaning or replacing it as needed every 25 hours, inspecting the spark plug and replacing it if necessary every 100 hours, and checking the cutting attachment and guard for damage before each use.
To replace the trimmer line, first turn off the trimmer and disconnect the spark plug wire. Remove the trimmer head by pressing the tabs and pulling it off. Insert new trimmer line into the holes on the spool, winding it evenly in the direction indicated. Reattach the trimmer head.
The Husqvarna 525 LK Trimmer requires a fuel mixture of 50:1, which is 2% oil. Use unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 89, mixed with high-quality 2-stroke engine oil.
Stalling may be caused by a clogged air filter, incorrect fuel mixture, or a dirty carburetor. Check the air filter for dirt, ensure the fuel mixture is correct, and clean the carburetor if necessary.
If the trimmer won't start, check the fuel level and ensure it is fresh and correctly mixed. Inspect the spark plug for fouling or damage and replace if necessary. Check the air filter for clogs and clean or replace it. Ensure the choke is set properly.
The Husqvarna 525 LK Trimmer is compatible with a variety of attachments, including hedge trimmers, pole saws, edgers, and cultivators. Check the Husqvarna website or your user manual for a full list of compatible attachments.
To adjust the idle speed, locate the idle speed screw on the carburetor. Turn the screw clockwise to increase the idle speed or counterclockwise to decrease it. Adjust until the engine runs smoothly at idle without the cutting attachment moving.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses, gloves, long pants, and hearing protection. Ensure the area is clear of bystanders and obstacles. Always hold the trimmer firmly with both hands and maintain a stable stance.
Check the spark arrestor screen every 50 hours of operation. Clean the screen with a wire brush if necessary to prevent clogging. Replace the screen if it shows signs of damage or excessive wear.
