Installing Line in Easy-Load String
Head
See Figures 14 - 15.
Use .095 in./2.4 mm diameter monofilament line.
1. Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire.
2. Cut one piece of line approximately 25 ft. (7.6 m) in
length.
3. Rotate knob on string head until line on knob aligns
with arrows on top of string head.
4. Insert one end of line into eyelet located on either side
of the string head and push until line comes out through
eyelet on the other side. Continue to push line through
the string head until the middle section of the line is
inside the string head and line outside the string head is
evenly divided on each side.
5. While holding the string head in one hand with your
other hand, rotate the knob on the string head to wind
the line. If using the 51958 (curved shaft), knob should
be rotated counterclockwise. If using the 51978 or
51978A (straight shaft), knob should be rotated clock-
wise. Wind the line until approximately 8 in. (203,2
mm) remains protruding from the string head.
