Makita a-15986 Trimmer Head Bumper

Product Description

The MAKITA a-15986 is a replacement bumper for Makita trimmer heads, designed to restore proper line-feed function to string trimmers used in lawn and landscape maintenance. The bumper is the wear component at the base of the trimmer head that contacts the ground during bump-feed operation, advancing the cutting line as needed. This part is an OEM-sourced replacement intended for service technicians and equipment operators who maintain Makita string trimmers. When the bumper cracks, wears flat, or breaks off, the bump-feed mechanism fails to advance line, making replacement of this component a routine service task.

This bumper is suited for residential and commercial lawn maintenance applications where Makita bump-feed trimmer heads are in service. It is a direct-fit service part installed during routine head maintenance or after impact damage. Landscape professionals and small engine service technicians typically keep this type of wear component on hand to minimize equipment downtime during the cutting season.
