To remove spool cap
1. Press and hold in the two cap release latches. (R).
2. Pull cap away from the spoolholder. (R).
When refitting the spool cap
1. Keep all areas of the cap and spoolholder clean.
Failure to do so may prevent the cap being securely
located in the spoolholder.
2. Replace the cap, pressing firmly DOWN towards
the spoolholder to ensure cap is fully located.
3. Check that the cap is correctly fitted by trying to re-
move it without depressing the two latches.
To replace nylon line.
For your convenience it is recommended you buy
spool and line complete. Nylon line only is also avail-
able. Both are available from Flymo Approved stock-
ists.
To fit spool and line complete:
1. Remove old spool.
2. Place new spool into spoolholder with cut out area of
the spool in line with eyelet as shown in figure S.
3. Release line from cleat and feed line through eyelet (S).
• Ensure spool is fully located by gently rotating it dur-
ing fitment, whilst keeping the spoolholder steady.
4. Refit the cap.
To fit nylon line only:
• Remember ! Your product is designed to use only
nylon line with a maximum diameter of 1.5mm. Use
only genuine Flymo nylon line.
1. Take approximately 10 metres of line. Insert 15mm
of line into the hole in the spool (T) and wind line in
the direction of the arrows on the top of the spool.
Leave approximately 100mm of line unwound and
place into cleat (T1).
2. Care should be taken to ensure that the line is
neatly coiled on the spool. Failure to do so will im-
pair the efficiency of the automatic line feed.
3. Then fit spool as described in 'To fit spool and line
complete', section above.
Always return the product to its normal operating posi-
tion before switching on.
