How to assemble a handle trimmer for grass hitachi. Design features

Causes of breakdowns of gasoline and electric trimmers

Grass trimmer, both electric and with an internal combustion engine (ICE), is an indispensable tool in the summer and autumn for owners of summer houses and private homes. With its help, weeds, small bushes and lawn trimming are easily removed. But, like any technique, grass trimmers fail at the most inopportune moment. To eliminate malfunctions with their own hands, the user of this equipment must first determine the cause of their appearance.

Lawn mowers and electric grass trimmers, if we do not consider breakdowns associated with the rod and mowing head, the failures mostly occur in the area of the engine.

Breakdowns of gasoline trimmers

Typical breakdowns of the gasoline grass trimmer, which the owners of this unit most often face, are as follows:

• engine failure;
• carburetor problems;
• fuel supply malfunction;. malfunction of the electric cable
• muffler failure;
• broken gearbox;
• starter motor broke;
• problems with the air filter;
• the breather plug on the fuel tank is clogged.

Faults of electric trimmers

As the device of the electric mower is much easier than mototrimmer, then there are few reasons for its failure.

It should be noted that the removal of some of them is better to trust a specialist.

Basically, the grass trimmer stops working normally in the following cases:

• Faulty electric cable;
• faulty control button;
• burned out winding of the motor stator;
• contact breakage on the engine.

basic configuration

The Hitachi CG22EAS gasoline brushcutter comes factory supplied with the machine itself, a bicycle handle, a trimmer head and knife, a fuel mixture container and an instruction manual.

Removing and disassembling starter, replacing broken parts

To make a grass trimmer starter repair, you need to first disassemble and then reassemble. The process is not particularly difficult. You need a screwdriver with a tip of the right shape for the job.

Do it all with care, respecting safety precautions, mainly so that the spring, if accidentally thrown out, does not injure the master.

Disassembly of the starter unit

Disassemble the starting mechanism in order to install new parts in place of the broken ones in the following sequence:

• unscrew the screw that secures the pulley with the starter cover with a screwdriver;
• take out the spring and the tendrils;
• Remove carefully the pulley (you need to turn the head or work, wearing goggles and gloves beforehand);
• determine why the trigger mechanism is broken;
• if the spring is almost completely destroyed, it is replaced;
• When the spring is out of the hook, it is installed in its original place, bending before doing so the tendons (the photos show the process of laying);

to change the spring, you must work carefully and carefully: it can, under the influence of the force caused by installing it in place, accidentally burst. even if you carefully remove the roller, the spring band quickly flies off the coil and can injure your hand with its sharp edges.

It is not always possible to put the sprung plate back in its place straight away. It often slips, so attempts must be repeated until the desired result.

Assembling the starter

Assembly of the starter unit is carried out in a series of steps:

When performing the above operations, two washers must be put underneath. If this is not done, the spring will eventually damage the plastic cup, and when it is tightened, it will begin to jam. Because of this there is a feeling as if the spring has come off. To eliminate this defect, you need to install this part of a longer length or an additional washer.

When such parts are not available, you can just unscrew the screw a little and the starter unit will work without cinching. But this option is temporary. it is better to repair quality as soon as possible.

Spring tension

After installing the spring, it should be tightened. To do this, carry out the following steps:

• Remove the handle from the starter cord;
• then insert the rope into the spool slot;
• make tensioning of the spring, rotating the spool in the opposite direction to the clockwise (winding);
• Make the required number of revolutions specified in the instruction manual of the grass trimmer model used and corresponding to the length of the cord used;
• at the very end of the rope is put through the hole designed for this purpose, located in the starter cover;
• put the handle in place, fixing it with a knot.

If after repairing the spring continues to fly off, then get rid of it in the following ways:

• squeeze a suitable size piece of plate into the groove at the location of the spring hook;
• drill holes on both sides of the groove in the spool, in which to insert the catch of the spring and fix it with a wire.

Replacing a torn cord

Replace a broken cord in the following sequence:

• the old rope is removed;
• Choose a rope suitable in size (thickness and length);
• passing it through a special hole, located in the coil, tie a knot;
• Pluck the spring, making the desired number of revolutions;
• fixing the handle.

it is better to perform tensioning of the spring plate together with a partner, so the edge of the cord will not wind up inside the starter mechanism.

To assemble the starter on the trimmer and wind the spring is not difficult, but you should do it carefully and with care. For different models of chain saws the breakdowns of the starting mechanisms are the same, so they are repaired in the same way. There are some nuances associated with their design features.

Tools for repair

The work required screwdrivers and an old tester with wires and a soldering iron.

I had my camera with me and managed to film all the actions to restore the performance of the electric motor. I inserted these pictures into the text of the article.

Circuit wire-checking

To check the electrical circuits, it is necessary to. I have an old device C4324 in my country house for this purpose. Power supply to the current measuring circuit is provided by the nickel cadmium batteries.

After long storage they were in the discharged condition, and operated since 1994, when I bought them at a garage sale. It was no longer possible to use them.

Power supply to the tester

The technical solution was suggested by an old cell phone. To supply voltage to its battery, pre-tested it with the same device in the voltmeter mode.

Took out old batteries, and connected power with thin wires of different colors directly to the leads of the tester, observing polarity. Used soldering iron and duct tape for connection.

Calibration

Here there was no problem. Power of the cell phone battery was quite enough for measurements and calibration.

I set the switches of the device to the “Ohmmeter” position, and with the potentiometer knob I set the pointer of the arrow to zero. I didn’t adjust the mechanical rocker arm, it was fine before.

The tester is ready to measure the resistance on Ohms graduation.

Screwdrivers

The case of the electric motor is fastened with self-tapping screws with medium-sized Phillips heads. An old screwdriver from Soviet times fit them satisfactorily and a good edge coverage was created with a head from a tool kit bought in an online store.

However, the short working body of the combination screwdriver made it impossible to work in deep recesses. All the hard-to-reach places were inaccessible to her. Pictures of the screwdrivers are shown in the following pictures.

How to disassemble and repair the electric scythe yourself

Before you disassemble and repair the electric braid, you should check the condition of the socket and the mains voltage. If its value deviates from the norms specified in the instruction manual, you should not even try to operate the device without a stabilizer designed for the appropriate power. Otherwise the electric motor can be damaged. Only after you have determined that the reason of the grass trimmer’s failure is directly connected to it, you can begin to disassemble the mechanism for repair.

Dismantling and repairing the electrical parts

To disassemble the electric grass trimmer for repairing its electrical components, proceed as follows.

• Put the grass trimmer on a flat surface (for example, a table) that does not contain any unnecessary objects.
• Unscrew the screws of the cover, located on one side.
• Remove the unscrewed half of the housing, gaining access to the start button, electric motor, brush assembly, bearings, electrical connections (these elements are shown in the picture below).

Brush and bearing units are shown in the photo below.

Grass cutter will work without a thermostat, but you will need to constantly check the temperature of the electric motor, periodically letting it cool down. You can also install a new analogous sensor.

You can check the motor starter button by shorting its contacts. If the grass trimmer works, the problem is clear. But it is not safe. You should be careful not to get an electric shock. To change the button use a screwdriver to remove it from its seat and connect the wires from the old to the new. After replacement, it is necessary to assemble the electric scythe, and then check its performance.

Brushes need to be replaced if they are destroyed. It is sufficient to remove the old ones from the grooves and install the new ones in their place.

Connecting terminals on different trimmer models are almost identical, so you can connect and disconnect wires in the same way.

Replacing the bearing is a fairly complicated operation because it can get stuck and not come off the motor shaft. Pull or knock it down carefully, so as not to damage the rotor or the landing place.

When the electric motor of the grass trimmer fails, and it is necessary to replace it with a new one, you should carefully remove the fan and bearings, and then install them in their original place. The replacement costs are almost the same as buying a new machine. If you have no experience with electric motors, it is better to entrust it to professionals.

Reassembling the electric mower

The instructions for assembling the electric part of the brushcutter are as follows:

• The engine is mounted by screwing in the fastening screws;
• connect the electrical circuit;
• lay the wires carefully between the individual compartments in the available recesses;
• Close the top cover by snapping the locks and screwing it down.

After reassembly, check the operation of the device.

Possible breakdowns in gasoline and electric trimmers quite a lot. To keep the unit working for a long time, it should be kept clean, in a dry place. An important point is to take regular preventive measures (e.g. gearbox lubrication) and to follow the rules of operation set out in the manual of the device. It is better to buy equipment of high quality and from reputable manufacturers.

When disassembling the mechanism it is recommended to photograph the process step by step so as not to forget anything, and when reassembling not to miss any part. When replacing parts, you should pay attention to the choice of suitable components: it is better to use original spare parts.

Some models have a boom consisting of two parts. for their connection use a coupling. These machines are easy to transport.

The structure of the gasoline grass trimmer. Lawn mower design and common faults

It is easiest to give the lawnmower for repair, allocating a certain amount of money from the family budget, prompt and high-quality repair with their own hands is no less simple and convenient if you want to understand the design of the lawnmower and fix all the problems.

Mass and piece production trimmers are based on the use of common technology, a typical design scheme consists of certain elements and parts, it is important to know when carrying out independent repair work:

• upper part. The basis of the entire structure, where all the important elements are assembled, such as the starter, carburetor and lawnmower engine;
• middle part. Hollow rod, inside it there is a cable that connects the motor and the reducer, which drives the cutting line for the trimmer. In this part there are mounts for weight distribution of the whole construction and a belt for fixation of the grass trimmer on the belt of a person using the grass trimmer for its intended purpose;
• bottom part. It has a gearbox and cutting elements that are hidden under a practical cover to protect the user. The cover provides an increased level of safety by preventing large debris, pebbles and glass from getting into the person while working with the chain saw.

Knowing precisely the internal structure and operating principle of the grass trimmer, you can independently carry out repair measures for the structure or replace individual, worn-out units, using the repair manual.

The most common and common, subject to self-correcting breakdowns of the unit can be called the following problems:

• engine malfunction, due to which the lawnmower does not start and does not work;
• Increased vibration of the brushcutter boom, making it hard to use the brushcutter for the intended purpose;
• Increased gearbox overheating, accelerated heating during operation;
• slow and weak functioning of the cutting line at insufficient RPM;
• Blockage in the starter grid, causing the engine to overheat and stop working;
