McCulloch T22 LCS Spare Parts List

To replace the trimmer line, first ensure the trimmer is turned off and unplugged. Remove the trimmer head cover by pressing the tabs on the side. Take out the spool and remove any old line. Cut a new piece of line about 20 feet long, and wind it evenly onto the spool, following the directional arrows. Place the spool back into the head and snap the cover back on securely.
Use a fresh, unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 90, mixed with a high-quality 2-stroke engine oil at a ratio of 40:1. This ensures optimal performance and longevity of the engine.
If the trimmer doesn't start, check the fuel level and ensure it's fresh. Verify that the spark plug is clean and properly connected. Check the air filter for dirt and debris, and clean or replace it if necessary. Make sure the choke is in the correct position and that the engine kill switch is not engaged.
Regular maintenance includes checking and cleaning the air filter, inspecting the spark plug, tightening any loose screws, and lubricating moving parts. Also, regularly inspect the trimmer line and replace it when it wears down.
To adjust the carburetor, locate the adjustment screws on the side of the carburetor. Start the engine and let it warm up. Adjust the idle speed screw until the engine runs smoothly without the cutting head moving. Fine-tune the low and high-speed screws to achieve optimal performance.
Frequent line breakage can be caused by using the wrong type of line, contact with hard surfaces, or incorrect line winding. Ensure you're using the recommended line type and size, avoid hitting hard objects, and properly wind the line on the spool.
To reduce vibrations, ensure that all screws and bolts are tightened properly, and check that the trimmer head is balanced. Use anti-vibration gloves and take regular breaks to minimize the impact of vibrations on your hands and arms.
Always wear protective eyewear, gloves, and long clothing. Keep bystanders at a safe distance, and never use the trimmer in wet conditions. Ensure the area is clear of debris and obstacles before starting.
Before storing, clean the trimmer thoroughly and run the engine until it uses up all the fuel. Remove the spark plug and add a few drops of oil into the cylinder, then pull the starter rope a few times to distribute the oil. Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight.
If the trimmer emits smoke, it could be due to an oil-rich fuel mixture, a clogged air filter, or an engine that's overheating. Check the fuel mixture, clean or replace the air filter, and allow the engine to cool down. If the problem persists, consult a professional.
