7. Wind the lines in tight even layers, onto the reel
(Fig. 6-6). 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.
Membrane Line 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. 6-6). 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. 6-7).
10. Before winding, split the line back about 6 inches
(15 cm).
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.
12. Insert the ends of the line into the two holding slots
(Fig. 6-8).
13. Insert the ends of the line through the eyelets in the
outer spool and place inner reel with spring inside
the outer spool (Fig. 6-9). 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
1. Hold the outer spool with one hand and unscrew
the bump knob counterclockwise (Fig. 6-1).
Inspect the bolt inside the bump knob to make sure
it moves freely. Replace the bump knob if damaged.
2. Remove the old inner reel from the outer spool
(Fig. 6-2).
3. Remove the spring from the old inner reel
(Fig. 6-2). Use a clean cloth to clean the spring,
shaft, and inner surface of the outer spool.
4. Place the spring in the new inner reel.
NOTE: The spring must be assembled on the inner
reel before reassembling the cutting attachment.
5. Insert the ends of the line through the eyelets in the
outer spool (Fig. 6-9).
6. Place the new inner reel inside the outer spool.
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 spool.
7. Hold the inner reel in place and install the bump
knob by turning clockwise. Tighten securely.
