RELOADING LINE ST4500

authorized service center.
Do not use fishing line or other
lines that are not recommended.

2. Remove the bump cap by pulling
up while depressing the two
release tabs on the sides of the
hub at the points shown in
figure 11.
NOTE: It may be necessary to
pull up on the cap while
depressing the release tabs one
side at a time.
3. Remove any broken cutting line,
wrap the remaining line tight and
reinsert spool into hub as
follows.
a.Wind the line tight enough so
that it is all below the edges of
the flanges on the spool. If it
extends past the flanges, it
wonʼt fit into the hub.
b.Place the loose end of the
cutting line through the gap in
the spool flange as shown in
figure 12. (Either gap will do
but try to leave yourself about
3 or 4 inches of line to work
with.)
