i purchased a OLT1832 2 days ago . Battery is showing full charge but unit runs very slow for a few seconds then stops. Anybody know why
It may be a battery fault. I eventually returned my Unit for a refund after several issues with battery life time and the automatic feeding of the line not working properly.
can I put a steel blade on this type of line trimmer
While the Ryobi OLT1830 is officially designed as a line trimmer, you can add a bladed head to it for tougher cutting, but it is not recommended to use traditional solid, heavy metal brushcutter blades.
Can you use a bump spool on olt1832 instead of auto feed if so which one
Can you still purchase replacement spools for olt1830 if so where

Is there a twin line head that fits this model and if so what is the part number please?
Are failing blade heads good to use on a Ryobi 18v line trimmer
What do you mean failing blade heads??
The ones u buy from Ryobi to suit the 18v line trimmer
The actual blades are pretty weak and break easily quite often, long before they are worn out.
Can I change the head on the Ryobi 18V one
Sorry no idea re changing the head - I think you need to talk to a dealer or contact Ryobi.
Cord does not self feed and I’m continuously having to stop and refeed. It’s the only 18v ryobi product that I wouldn’t recommend.
Might have been wound on too tight.
Ryobi's cord feed products all need to go back to the drawing board...far from user friendly. get your money back and buy a decent manufacturers product. At least the Ryobi colours look good! Dougie.
How long should the replacement cord be in the whipper snipper?
The replacements spool sticks and will not turn. All three in the same package purchased from Bunnings. Can I get a replacement...This has also happened in the past..has anyone had the same problem?
This is further evidence of a failed Ryobi product...take the refund money and run, Mitre10 is a good direction! Dougie
yes I m having it now on OLT1832
Does the olt1830 replacement spool and cap fit a olt1832?
Ryobi OLT1832 How do I dismount the spool head housing? I need to clear the motor axle to remove a foreign object: a thin plastic rope that was hidden in the grass, and was twinned around the axle underneath the spool head housing. Quite tricky to get fixed. Need help.
Did you ever find out as I have this problem today and unable to access the motor axle...I also need help.
Hi. I did finally manage to solve the problem: First, you need to dismount the outer housing to access the spool head and the motor. Refer to this drawing: “https://webservice.ttigroup.eu/PdfPrinter?id=explodedview/en/40004620895133002813&url=%2Flocal%2Fcache%2Fexplodedview%2Fen%2F40004620895133002813.html.” The spool head is fastened to the axle on threads. I used a spanner / wrench to hold the back part of the aksle while grabbing the spool head and twisted it counter clockwise. Hope this was helpful. Good luck. Geir
Thanks Geir sorted, string wound round the shaft. Bit of a pain but simple once you know. Cheers.
Hi, had anyone removed the line feeder and replaced it with Trimmer Boss or similar non-line trimmer head? Looking for instructions on how to remove the OLT1830 line trimmer head entirely for this. Thanks
The trimmer head is jamed up with grass. how do you get it off to clear it.
my cord line trimmer assembly fell off now only thread sticking out from shaft does it have a nut can not fit back on only used about 4 vtimes
Sorry Dennis- my head assembly literally melted off the shaft. At that point I didn’t look for a nut. I just took it back for a refund.
Mine has suddenly stopped working. Battery fully charged and plenty of line. Any comments/suggestions.
Take it back where you bought it... If it’s under warranty, they will fix or replace it
Any idea of the Warranty period. The trimmer is 4 or 5 years old.
2 years normal. Extra 4 years if you register it with Ryobi. Just had my OLT1830 replaced with OLT1832 after 3.5 years. Spool melted from spindle.
Cant stand auto feed or bump line trimmers. The Ryobi two blade attachment states that it is compatible with this model but I cant find this model to buy in Aus. Where can I get an 18v Ryobi whipper snipper that is compatible with the two blade attachment?
I bought a pack of 2 Ryobi dual-bladed trimmer heads (Part No. RAC1103) for $20.00 from Bunnings in WA a couple of days ago. Cuts much better than the string. Fit several Ryobi models too. Very happy with it.
I have a Ryobi OLT1830.
The Ryobi OLT1832 will also take the blades.(not listed on Part No. RAC1103) Took me over 3 weeks to get that answer through Ryobi via Bunnings. The 2 Ryobi dual-bladed trimmer head works brilliantly. Wont like rocks or bricks very much. Blades will be whittled away very quickly if used against that sort of surface but otherwise brilliant. I small performance mod and a couple of 6mm bolts to replace the rivets will also allow "other" blades to be used rather than replacing the whole head each time.
Hi Martyn, What other make & types of blades did you use to replace them once they are gone?
My 18V trimmer is stuck in the edging position and I can’t get it to flip back to the trimming position. It has only been used very little. What is the fix for this?
