Product Information

Full details

The Mitox Long Reach Hedge Trimmer - 26LH-SP is designed for homeowners and commercial users needing to maintain tall or hard-to-reach hedges efficiently. Its key benefit is the combination of a powerful 25.4cc engine with an articulating hedge trimmer head, offering versatile cutting angles and eliminating the need for electric cables or batteries. A potential caveat is the requirement for petrol fuel and basic engine maintenance.

FAQs

What is the recommended fuel mixture for the 25.4cc engine?

Always refer to your Mitox user manual for the specific fuel-to-oil ratio recommended for your 25.4cc engine. Typically, it is a 40:1 ratio of unleaded petrol to high-quality 2-stroke engine oil.

How do I adjust the angle of the hedge trimmer head?

The hedge trimmer head can be adjusted to over 12 positions across a 150-degree range. There is usually a lever or button mechanism near the articulation point that allows you to select the desired angle.

What is the blade length and cutting capacity?

The hedge trimmer features 44 cm double reciprocating blades. The maximum cutting diameter will depend on the type and condition of the branches, but it is designed for standard hedge trimming tasks.

Can I use this for very thick branches?

While powerful, this hedge trimmer is designed for hedges and shrubs. For very thick branches, a dedicated lopper or saw may be more appropriate to avoid damaging the unit.

How does the split shaft benefit storage?

The aluminium coupling on the split shaft allows you to easily detach the hedge trimmer head and shaft from the engine power unit. This makes the overall unit significantly more compact for storage in sheds or garages.

Is assembly required after purchase?

Some assembly is typically required, primarily connecting the shaft components and attaching the harness. Please consult the included user manual for detailed step-by-step assembly instructions.

Troubleshooting

Engine will not start

Ensure correct fuel mixture is used. Check spark plug for damage or fouling. Verify fuel lines are not blocked and the primer bulb is functioning. Ensure choke is set correctly for cold starts.

Engine runs, but cuts poorly

Sharpen or replace the hedge trimmer blades. Check for any obstructions in the cutting head. Ensure the engine is running at optimal RPM.

Harness attachment feels insecure

Verify that all harness clips and straps are correctly fastened to the designated points on the hedge trimmer body.

Excessive vibration during operation

Check that all parts are securely tightened, especially the shaft coupling. Ensure blades are not damaged or unbalanced. Inspect for any loose engine mounts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This is a petrol-powered unit and does not have electronic compatibility requirements. It is designed for trimming hedges and shrubs.
