7. Wind the lines in tight
even layers, onto the
reel (Fig. 36). 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 9 feet (3 m) of new trimming line. Insert
one end of the line through one of the two holes in the inner
reel (Fig. 37). 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. 37).
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.
12. Insert the ends of the line into the two holding slots (Fig. 38).
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. 39). 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 counterclockwise. Tighten securely.
4. Use a clean cloth to clean the the
inner reel, spring, shaft and inner
surface of the outer spool (Fig.
32).
5. Check the indexing teeth on the
inner reel and outer spool for
wear (Fig. 33). 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 34
to identify the inner
reel you have.
