To start the Husqvarna 525 LS Trimmer, first ensure the trimmer is on a flat surface. Move the choke lever to the start position, press the primer bulb six times, pull the starter rope until the engine fires, then move the choke to the run position and pull the starter rope again until the engine starts.
The Husqvarna 525 LS Trimmer uses a mixture of unleaded gasoline and high-quality two-stroke engine oil. The recommended ratio is 50:1, which equates to 2.6 ounces of oil per gallon of gasoline.
It is recommended to check the air filter after every 25 hours of operation. Clean or replace it as necessary to ensure optimal performance and avoid engine damage.
Ensure that you are using the correct line diameter recommended for the Husqvarna 525 LS. Check for any sharp edges near the trimmer head that may be cutting the line, and ensure that the line is properly wound on the spool.
To replace the trimmer line, turn off the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire. Remove the trimmer head cover, take out any remaining line, and thread new line through the holes on the spool. Wind the line evenly in the direction indicated on the spool, then reassemble the trimmer head.
A rough-running trimmer may be due to a clogged air filter, old fuel, or a dirty carburetor. Check and clean the air filter, replace old fuel with a fresh mix, and clean or service the carburetor if necessary.
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, ensuring the trimmer head does not rotate at idle.
Before storing the trimmer for the winter, clean it thoroughly, empty the fuel tank, and run the engine until it stops to clear the carburetor. Remove the spark plug and add a small amount of oil into the cylinder to prevent rust. Store in a dry, well-ventilated area.
If the trimmer won't start, check for fuel issues, such as stale fuel or improper mixture. Ensure the spark plug is clean and properly gapped, and inspect the air filter for clogs. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the carburetor may need cleaning.
Regular maintenance for the Husqvarna 525 LS includes checking and cleaning the air filter, inspecting the spark plug and replacing if necessary, ensuring the trimmer head is in good condition, and checking the fuel system for leaks or blockages.
