Known among gardeners for the Stihl FS 55 lawn mower, it differs from its market counterparts in high traction parameters, excellent quality of components and assembly, as well as increased reliability. The trimmer in this configuration is as simple as possible to operate and maintain. This, together with high suitability for self-repair, makes it possible for any budding gardener to start operating lawn mowers.
Lawnmowers device Stihl FS 55
The Stihl FS 55 trimmer stands out for its well-balanced and typical lawn mowing device. The model is based on a gasoline engine, which was developed using the proprietary Stihl 4-MIX technology. The motor device includes 1 chromed cylinder and a forged piston with an increased power reserve. This arrangement makes the ICE trimmer virtually silent and economical in terms of fuel consumption.
To safely start a full-time ICE, the manufacturer included the ElastoStart starting handle in the Stihl FS 55 lawn mowers. It stands out more smoothly and eliminates possible returns when pulling the cable. An additional spring is included in the starter device, effectively mitigating possible shocks during the return movement of the coil.
For the smooth operation of ICE, the manufacturer equipped the trimmer with improved electronic ignition. It provides a high voltage during ignition of the fuel mixture, which leads to its complete combustion without sedimentation of fuel residues on the inner walls of the muffler.
The manufacturer will include a membrane carburetor equipped with an enlarged combustion chamber in the original equipment of the Stihl FS 55 lawn mowers. All basic parts of the assembly are made of forged metals, distinguished by resistance to rust and overheating.
The force generated by the lawn mowing engine is transmitted through a hard drive shaft to an all-metal aluminum gearbox. Subsequently, the rotary system that rotates the mowing head or cutting knife takes on the torque from the internal combustion engine. This arrangement increases the speed of the lawn mowers and makes it as efficient as possible, regardless of the thickness of the weeds being cut.
For more comfortable operation, the manufacturer has provided a standard shoulder strap made of soft, durable materials in the basic equipment of the Stihl mower. The lawn mowers are also equipped with a 2-hand bicycle handle, which can be adjusted along the entire height of the bar. Almost all controls are placed on the right standard handle of the model, which makes it more convenient to operate the tool in hard-to-reach places.
