INSTALLING A PREWOUND REEL
1. Hold the outer spool with one hand and unscrew the bump
knob counterclockwise (Fig. 15). 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. 16).
3. Remove the spring from the old inner reel
(Fig. 16).
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. 23).
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.

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.
Holding Slots
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.

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.
