MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
Go To Step 8 for SplitLine™ Installation
6. Take approximately
20 feet (6 m) of new
trimming line, loop it
into two equal
lengths. Insert each
end of the line
through one of the
two holes in the
inner reel (Fig. 16).
Pull the line through
the inner reel so that
the loop is as small
as possible.
7. Wind the lines in
tight even layers,
onto the reel (Fig.
17). Wind the line in
the direction
indicated on the
inner reel. Place your index finger between the two lines to
stop the lines from overlapping. Do not overlap the ends of the
line. Proceed to step 11.
SplitLine™ Installation
8. Take approximately 10 feet (3 m) of new trimming line. Insert
one end of the line
through one of the
two holes in the
inner reel (Fig. 18).
Pull the line through
the inner reel until
only about 4 inches
is left out.
9. Insert the end of the
line into the open hole in the inner reel and pull the line tight to
make the loop as small as possible (Fig. 18).
10. Before winding, split the line back about 6 inches.
11. Wind the line in tight even layers in the direction indicated on the
inner reel.
NOTE: Failure to wind the line in the direction indicated will cause
the cutting attachment to operate incorrectly.

Insert the ends of the
line into the two
holding slots (Fig. 19).

Insert the ends of the
line through the eyelets
in the outer spool and
place inner reel with
spring inside the outer
spool (Fig. 20). Push
the inner reel and outer
spool together. While
holding the inner reel
and outer spool, grasp
the ends and pull firmly
to release the line from
the holding slots in the
reel.
NOTE: The spring must
be assembled on
the inner reel before reassembling the cutting attachment.
14. Hold the inner reel in place and install the bump knob by
turning clockwise. Tighten securely.
INSTALLING A PREWOUND REEL
