Description
Overview:
This genuine Stihl throttle cable is a direct replacement for the HS45 hedge trimmer, matching OEM specification 4228 180 1101 for precise fit and function. It links the trigger to the carburettor to control engine speed accurately, restoring smooth acceleration and reliable idle. Built for everyday use, the cable uses a strong steel inner wire with a low-friction lined outer sheath to minimise drag and sticking. Pre-formed ends and fittings ensure correct engagement with the handle and carburettor. If your trimmer hesitates, surges, or fails to return to idle, a worn or frayed cable is a common cause; fitting this genuine part restores consistent throttle response. Suitable for the Stihl HS45, it keeps your hedge trimmer performing as intended.
