LINE INSTALLATION
This section covers both SplitLine™ and standard single line
installation.
Always use original equipment manufacturer replacement line.
Use 0.080 in. (2.03 mm) line. Line other than the specified may
make the engine overheat or fail.
There are two methods to replace the trimming line:
• Wind the inner reel with new line
• Install a prewound inner reel
Winding the Existing Inner Reel
1. Hold the outer spool with one hand and unscrew the Bump
Knob counterclockwise (Fig. 15). Inspect the bolt inside the
bump knob to make sure it moves freely. Replace the bump
knob if damaged.
2. Remove the inner reel from outer spool (Fig. 15).
3. Remove spring from the inner reel (Fig. 15).
4. Use a clean cloth to clean the the inner reel, spring, shaft
and inner surface of the outer spool (Fig. 16).
5. Check the indexing teeth on
the inner reel and outer spool
for wear (Fig. 17). If necessary,
remove burrs or replace the
reel and spool.
NOTE: SplitLine™ can only be
used with the inner reel with
the slotted holes. Single line
can be used on either type of
inner reel. Use Figure 18 to
identify the inner reel you
have.
