Additional Information
The MTD Line Trimmer Throttle Trigger Spring, designed to attach within the throttle housing, ensures that the throttle trigger returns to the off position automatically when released. This feature aids in machine control and prevents accidental operation when the trimmer is not in use.
One of the common symptoms of a faulty trigger spring is the trimmer's failure to stop running after releasing the trigger. This can lead to unsafe operation and potential wear on the trimmer?s engine. By replacing the throttle trigger spring, you ensure a secure shut-off, promoting safety and prolonging the life of the trimmer.
When installing the throttle trigger spring, wearing work gloves is recommended to protect your hands from sharp edges and pinching when handling small, spring-loaded components. The installation process is fairly straightforward; you will need a screwdriver and pliers to remove the throttle housing and secure the spring in place. By following these steps, you can address the issue promptly, restoring your trimmer's functionality without delay.
