FAQs
How do I know if the spring needs replacing?
If your trimmer no longer feeds line when you bump the head on the ground, or if the spring appears deformed, stretched, or rusty, it should be replaced.
Is this a universal part for all Husqvarna trimmers?
No, it is specific to models compatible with part number 514894000. Always check your owner's manual or the parts diagram for your specific model number.
Can I stretch the old spring to make it work longer?
While it might work temporarily, metal fatigue means it will likely lose tension again quickly. It is better to replace it with a new genuine spring.
Do I need special tools to install this?
Typically, you only need basic hand tools or your hands to unscrew the trimmer head cap. Consult your model's manual for specific disassembly instructions.
Does this part include the spool or the line?
No, this is only the spring component for the line feed mechanism.
Troubleshooting
Trimmer line still does not feed after installation
Check the trimmer head for packed dirt or debris; ensure the spool rotates freely and that the line is not tangled inside the housing.
The trimmer head feels loose or wobbly
Verify that the spring is properly seated in the center groove and that the spool cover is tightened securely according to the manufacturer's torque recommendations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the spring, you must first disconnect the spark plug wire to ensure the trimmer cannot start accidentally. Access the trimmer head by unscrewing the housing cover or removing the spool retaining cap. Remove the old, compressed spring and inspect the spool housing for any stuck debris or dried grass that might cause friction. Clean the interior cavity thoroughly before placing the new spring in the center of the hub. Reassemble the head, ensuring the spring sits flush against the base and the spool, then test the bump mechanism for free movement before reconnecting the spark plug. Always check your specific trimmer model manual to confirm that part 514894000 is the correct fit for your unit.
