How do I prevent engine stalling when I use 4 AERO-FLEX® Line Blades? Can my trimmer adequately drive 4 line blades?
Most trimmers on the market will easily drive four AERO-FLEX® line blades. It takes a learning experience and technique. On some lower power trimmers (w/o clutch) an abrupt entry into the cut with the stronger line blades will cause the engine to stall. Avoid rapid overfeeding the strong line blades into heavier grass or into the ground which could cause the engine to stall. Develop a technique to gently feed the side of the rotating line blade plane into the vegetation. Don’t cut on the “spoke”. Don’t “hack” back and forth! Your trimmer may have its own engine difficulties where it may have lost power or its carburetor is not adjusted properly. You may want to operate with only 2 line blades to relieve the torque feedback to prevent engine stalling.
