How to clean the spark arrestor
If your grass trimmer and brushcutter die when turned sideways, it is usually because the fuel filter is held away from the fuel, as the position of the product changes. The fuel filter must be able to stay in the fuel as the position of the chainsaw is changed.
Husqvarna grass trimmer and brushcutter are equipped with fuel lines of specified lengths and flexibility along with weighted fuel filters. This allows the filter to “follow” the fuel and remain submerged. It is important to always use the correct fuel line and fuel filter for your specific product. You can find this information in the operator’s manual.
Your grass trimmer and brushcutter may also die when turned sideways due to leakage or because the fuel lines need to be reset. In this case, please contact your local authorised dealer.
