Driveshaft, Flexible C506000480

This OEM-verified flexible driveshaft in your trimmer is in the main pipe housing and transfers power from the engine to the cutting head or attachment. It allows the cutting components to rotate when powered. If your trimmer struggles to spin the cutting head or produces grinding, rattling, or clunking sounds, your driveshaft may be broken. Without a functioning driveshaft, the trimmer will provide uneven cutting results. To remove the driveshaft from your trimmer, first ensure it is turned off and the engine is cool. Disconnect spark plug wires to prevent accidental startup. Detach the cutting attachment by loosening the securing screws, referring to the manual if needed. Remove the housing casing, if present, by unclipping the fasteners. To release the driveshaft, either gently pull it away from its coupling while twisting slightly or hold its locking mechanism in place while rotating the driveshaft. This authentic replacement part is sold individually and does not come with the main pipe assembly.
