String Trimmers

These my observations based on the design of this unit and previous shop experiences with MTD design which this unit based on.

1. These unit are not to be operated in other positions other than near level upright.
2. When operated sideways or inverted oil will make it way to carburetor.
3. These units not to design to stored hanging but are instead intended to be store parallel to level position. IE laying on the floor or a shelf in an upright position.

The MTD version is prone to leaking at carburetor and with this design the Husqvarna will also be prone to leaking. A filter is not going to stop the oil migration; might slow it down some.

In my opinion the best design in the 4 cycle trimmers and blowers that I have seen in my shop has been the 4-mix Stihl. These do not use a separate oiling system but uses regular 2 fuel mix to keep things oiled properly. Sorry Husqvarna but your design is not good in this sense and as an independent shop owner can not recommend these trimmers to anyone.
