on either type of inner reel. Use Figure 15 to
identify the inner reel you have.

6. Cut approximately 25 feet (7.6 m) of new trimming
line, then loop it into two equal lengths. Insert each
end of the line through one of the two holes in the
inner reel. Pull the line through the inner reel so that
the loop is as small as possible. See Figure 16.

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.
See Figure 19.
13. Insert the ends of the line through the eyelets in the
outer spool and place inner reel with spring inside
the outer spool. See Figure 20. Push the inner reel
