EZ LINE™ TAP ADVANCE SYSTEM
NEW PREWOUND SPOOL
See Figures 14 and 15.
If replacing string only, refer to "String Replacement" later
in this manual.
Use only .080 in. (2.0 mm) diameter monofilament string.
Use original manufacturer's replacement string for best
performance.
1. Stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire. Hold
the string head and unscrew the spool retainer.
To remove the spool retainer:
Turn the spool retainer counterclockwise for Trimlite
and Trim n' Edge.
Turn the spool retainer clockwise for Easy Reach.
2. Remove the empty spool from the string head. Keep
the spring attached to the spool.
3. To install the new spool, make sure the two strings are
captured in the slots opposite each other on the new
spool. Make sure the ends of each string is extended
approximately 6 in. (152 mm) beyond each slot.
4. Thread the strings into the eyelets in the string head.
Carefully push the spool into the string head (gently
pull the strings to the outside if necessary). When the
spool is positioned in the string head, grasp the strings
and pull sharply to release them from the slots in the
spool.
5. Push down and turn the spool counterclockwise until it
no longer turns. Hold the spool down and rotate
clockwise a small amount. Release the spool. The
spool should be locked down in the string head. If not,
hold down and rotate until locked.
6. Make sure the string head and the spool retainer are
installed on the drive shaft.
To install the spool retainer:
Turn the spool retainer clockwise for Trimlite and Trim
n' Edge.
