Spark Plug; Angle Gear; Lubricating The Flexible Drive Axle; Adjusting The Edger's Cutting Depth - Husqvarna 225E Operator's Manual

Spark plug

The condition of the spark
plug is affected by:
• An incorrect carburetor
setting.
• An incorrect fuel mixture
(too much or faulty oil).
• A dirty air filter.
These factors cause
deposits on the spark plug
electrode that may result
in malfunction or starting
difficulties.
If the machine is low on power, difficult to start or runs
poorly while idling always check the spark plug first.
If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and at the same time check
that the electrode gap is 0.5 mm. The spark plug should be
changed after about one month of operation or earlier if neces-
sary.
NOTE! Always use the recommended type of spark plug. An
incorrect spark plug can damage the cylinder/piston.

Angle gear

The angle gear is filled with a
sufficient quantity of grease at
the factory. However, before
using the machine you should
check that the angle gear is
filled to 3/4 with grease. Use
HUSQVARNA special grease.
Normally, the grease does not
need to be changed except
when repairs are carried out.
MAINTENANCE

Lubricating the flexible drive axle

Inside the edger's drive shaft
is a flexible drive axle. The
flexible drive axle should be
regularly lubricated after 30
0,5 mm
hours of operation. Loosen
the two screws on the angle
gear and remove it. The
flexible drive axle is easily
removed from the shaft by
taking a firm grip on the axle
end. Lubricate the flexible
drive axle over its entire
length and reinsert it in the
shaft. Turn the axle while
inserting it so that it correctly
engages in the clutch.
Replace the angle gear on
the drive axle shaft and
tighten the two screws.

Adjusting the edger's cutting depth

The cutting depth should be
adjusted before starting work.
• Loosen the locking handle (A)
and rotate the guard by
moving the locking handle
backwards or forwards. If the
locking handle is moved
forwards (from the machine)
the cutting depth is
increased. If the locking
handle is moved backwards
(towards the machine) the
cutting depth is reduced.
• Adjust the cutting depth.
• Lock the locking
handle.

A
WARNING!
Always bear the machine on the right side of
the body. Always wear protective glasses,
long trousers and heavy-duty shoes when
using the machine. Observe your surround-
ings, ensure people and animals do not come
in the immediate vicinity or can be hit by
thrown objects. Apply full throttle before the
blade starts to work on the soil.
