Maintenance; Replacing The Spool - Toro PowerPlex Series Operator's Manual

Maintenance

After each use of the trimmer, complete the following:
1. Remove the battery from the trimmer.
2. Wipe the trimmer clean with a damp cloth. Do
not hose the trimmer down or submerge it in
water.
CAUTION
The line cutoff blade on the deflector is
sharp and can cut you.
Do not use your hands to clean the
deflector shield and blade.
3. Wipe or scrape clean the cutting head area any
time there is an accumulation of debris.
4. Check and tighten all fasteners. If any part is
damaged or lost, repair or replace it.
5. Brush debris away from air intake vents and
exhaust on motor housing to prevent the motor
from overheating.

Replacing the Spool

Use only 2 mm (0.080 inch) diameter monofilament
string. Use Toro Part No. 88545 replacement string
for best performance.
Important:
Using a larger diameter string causes
the motor to overheat and fail.
1. Remove the battery.
2. Push in the tabs on the side of the spool
retaining cover
1. Eyelet
2. Spool
3. Spool retaining cover
3. Pull the spool retaining cover up to remove it
and remove the spool.
4. Install the new spool so that the string aligns
with the eyelet in the string head. Thread the
string into the eyelet.
5. Verify that the end of the string extends
approximately 152 mm (6 inches) beyond the
slot.
6. Pull the string extending from the string head so
that the string releases from the slot in the spool.
7. Install the spool retainer by pressing the tabs
into the slots and pushing down until the spool
retainer clicks into place.
