  If your Husqvarna Trowels product starts but the engine speed cannot be increased, the throttle cable may be defective. In this case, have an approved service center replace it. Alternatively, the throttle control and connectors may be loose or incorrectly adjusted; have an approved service center repair the throttle control. Another potential cause is worn clutch shoes, which also require replacement by an approved service center. For engine defects, consult the engine manual.

How to fix uneven blade wear on Husqvarna CT 36A/A-V Trowels?
- A
  Alice MatthewsAug 27, 2025
  Uneven blade wear or shaking in your Husqvarna Trowels product can be due to several factors: * One or more blades may be bent or defective; replace any damaged blades. * Blade arms may not move correctly in the hub; remove the blade arms, then clean and lubricate all contact surfaces. If the problem persists, have an approved service center repair the product. * The blade shafts may be bent; replace them using only original Husqvarna spare parts. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the eccentric adjusters may be incorrectly set, or the main shaft of the gearbox could be bent, both requiring attention from an approved service center.

  If your Husqvarna Trowels starts at high speed and the speed cannot be decreased, the throttle cable may be defective, and you should have an approved service center replace it. It could also be that the throttle control and connectors are loose or incorrectly adjusted; in that case, have an approved service center repair the throttle control. For engine defects, it's best to refer to the engine manual.
