MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLING A PREWOUND REEL

(Fig. 12).
3. Remove the spring from the old inner reel
(Fig. 12).
4. Place the spring in the new inner reel.
NOTE: The spring must be assembled on the inner reel
before reassembling the cutting attachment.
5. Insert the ends of the line through the eyelets in the
outer spool (Fig. 19).

inner reel and outer spool together. While holding the
inner reel and outer spool, grasp the ends and pull firmly
to release the line from the holding slots in the spool.
