knob to install new trimming line.
1. Before installing new trimming line in the
existing inner reel, pull old line out of
the line loading and line locking holes
(Figs. 20 and 21).
2. Cut two pieces of 0.080 in. (2.03 mm.)
trimming line, 10 feet (3 m.) long.
WARNING: Always use the correct
line length when installing trimming
line on the unit. The line may not
release properly if the line is too
long.
3. Line up the arrow on the inner reel with the
arrow on the outer spool (Fig. 19).
4. Insert a piece of trimming line into one of the
two eyelets in the outer spool. Push it up
through the line loading hole in the inner reel
(Fig. 20). Do not bend the line when inserting
it into the eyelet.
