FAQs

What is the primary advantage of the "Tap’n go" system?

The "Tap’n go" system allows you to feed new trimmer line automatically by tapping the head on the ground, giving you control over line length while you continue working without stopping the machine.

How do I know if this trimmer head is compatible with my Husqvarna trimmer?

This T55X M12 model is designed for Husqvarna trimmers that have an M12 attachment thread on the spindle. Check your trimmer's manual or specifications to confirm the spindle thread size.

What type of trimmer line should I use with the T55X M12 head?

Consult your Husqvarna trimmer's manual for the recommended trimmer line diameter and type. Using the correct line ensures optimal performance and longevity of the head.

How often should I clean the trimmer head?

It is recommended to clean the trimmer head after each use, especially after working in dusty or wet conditions, to remove grass clippings and debris. This ensures optimal performance and prevents premature wear.

Can I use this trimmer head on a non-Husqvarna brand trimmer?

This head is specifically designed for Husqvarna trimmers with an M12 connection. It is generally not compatible with trimmers from other brands unless they also feature a compatible M12 spindle.

What does the ball bearing resting surface do?

The ball bearing resting surface reduces friction between the head and the ground when feeding line, contributing to smoother operation, increased durability, and less wear on the head.

Troubleshooting

Trimmer line not feeding automatically

Ensure the head is properly tapped on the ground with sufficient force. Check that the trimmer line is loaded correctly and is not jammed within the spool or eyelets. Verify the line is of the appropriate diameter for the head.

Head not rotating smoothly

Inspect the ball bearing resting surface for debris or damage. Clean thoroughly and check for free rotation. If damaged, replacement may be necessary.

Premature trimmer line wear

Avoid excessive tapping of the head on hard surfaces. Ensure the line is fed through the eyelets correctly to prevent abrasion. Use high-quality trimmer line.

Difficulty attaching head to trimmer

Confirm that your trimmer has an M12 spindle thread. Ensure there is no debris in the trimmer's spindle threads or the head's internal threads. Hand-tighten first, then use the appropriate tool if needed.
