MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS (Continued)

Winding the Existing Reel

1. Take approximately 12.7 m (50 ft) 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. 30). Pull the line so that the loop is as small as

possible.

Fig. 30

2. Wind the lines, in even and tight layers, onto the reel

(Fig. 31). Wind the line in the direction indicated on

the inner reel. Be sure not to overlap the two ends of

the line.

NOTE:

Placing your index finger between the

two (2) lines while winding the line will

prevent overlapping of the lines.

NOTE:

Failure to wind the line in the direction

indicated will cause the Bump Head to

operate incorrectly.

3. Insert the ends of the line into the two holding slots

(Fig. 32).

Reinstalling the Reel

1. Insert the ends of the line through the eyelets in the

outer spool (Fig. 33). Place the inner reel into the outer

spool. Grasp the ends and pull firmly to release the

line from the holding slots in the spool.

NOTE:

The spring must be in the center of the

outer spool.

2. Install the bump knob and tighten counterclockwise

(see Fig. 26). Add a small amount of grease or oil to

the threads on the Bump Knob bolt to make it easier

to remove the Bump Knob the next time. Line installa-

tion is now complete.
