Single Line Installation
Go To Step 8 for SplitLine™ Installation
6. Take approximately 18 feet (5.4 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. 19). 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. 20). 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 (2.7 m) of new trimming line.
Insert one end of the line through one of the two holes in
the inner reel (Fig. 21). 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. 21).
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.
Holding Slots
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. 23). 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.
12. Insert the ends of the line into the two holding slots (Fig. 22).
