LINE INSTALLATION FOR THE SPEEDSPOOL ®
Always use Genuine Factory Parts™ 0.080 inch (2.03 mm)
replacement line. Line other than specified may make the engine
overheat or fail.
WARNING:
Never use metal-reinforced line,
wire, or rope, etc. These can break off and
become a dangerous projectile.
There are two methods to replace the SpeedSpool® trimming
line.
• Wind the inner reel with new line
• Install a prewound inner reel
Winding the Inner Reel With New Line
NOTE: It is unnecessary to remove the bump knob to install
new trimming line.
1. Cut two pieces of 0.080 inch (2.03 mm) trimming line, 10
feet (3 m) long.
WARNING:
Always use the correct line length
when installing trimming line on the unit. The line may
not release properly if the line is too long.
2. Hold the outer spool and turn the inner reel
counterclockwise to line up the arrows on the outer spool
and inner reel (Fig. 8).

3. Pull old line out of the line loading and line locking holes
(Figs. 9 and 10).
4. Insert a piece of trimming line into one of the two eyelets in
the outer spool. Push it up through the line loading hole in
the inner reel (Fig. 9). Do not bend the line when inserting it
into the eyelet.

the line more than 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) into the line locking
hole. When inserted correctly the line will form a small loop
(Fig. 10).
