Part 2 - Winding New Trimming Line onto the Inner Reel
• If using single line, refer to Winding Single Line.
• If using split line, refer to Winding Split Line.
• If using a prewound inner reel, proceed to Part 3 - Installing the
Inner Reel.
Winding Single Line
1. Cut one 18-foot (5.5 m) length of new single trimming line. Fold
the line in half to create a loop in the middle.
2. Insert the two line ends through the two holes in the inner reel (Fig.
30). Pull the line through the inner reel so that the loop is as small
as possible (Fig. 30). Make sure the line ends are of equal length.
3. Wind the line tightly in the direction shown on the bottom of the
inner reel until about 6 inches (150 mm) of line remains. Place
your index finger between the two lines to stop the lines from
overlapping.
NOTE: Failure to wind the line in the direction indicated will cause
the cutting head to operate incorrectly.
4. Insert the two 6-inch ends into the two holding slots (Fig. 31).
Proceed to Part 3 - Installing the Inner Reel.
Winding Split Line
1. Cut one 9-foot (2.7 m) length of new split line trimming line.
2. Insert one line end through one of the two holes in the inner reel.
Pull the line through the inner reel until about 4 inches (10 cm)
remain (Fig. 32).
3. Insert the end of the 4-inch section into the open hole in the
inner reel and pull the line tight to make the loop as small as
possible (Fig. 32).
4. Split the other line end about 6 inches (150 mm).
5. Wind the line tight in even layers in the direction indicated on the
inner reel.
NOTE: Failure to wind the line in the direction indicated will cause
the cutting head to operate incorrectly.
6. Insert the two 6-inch ends into the two holding slots (Fig. 31).
Proceed to Part 3 - Installing the Inner Reel.
Part 3 - Installing the Inner Reel
1. Pass the two line ends through the eyelets in the outer spool
(Fig. 33).
2. Place the spring inside the inner reel (Fig. 33).
3. Insert the inner reel into the outer spool (Fig. 33). Push the inner
reel and outer spool together.
4. While holding the inner reel and outer spool together, firmly pull
the two line ends to release them from the holding slots.
5. While holding the inner reel and outer spool together, screw the
bump knob on counterclockwise (Fig. 27). Tighten the bump
knob securely.
