10. Tie a knot loop approximately 12” down on the new replacement line. Grasp
the line and pull it towards the knot loop behind the nozzle. Untwist the portion
of webbing between the nozzle and the screwdriver that secures the webbing.
Check that the screwdriver is still vertical, and has not rotated during line
replacement. If so, reorient the screwdriver to its original position. Also check
that the black mark is still on the upper portion of webbing.
13. Extract the line and untie the knot loop. A second pair of hands will be
required to help secure the webbing. Return the new line into the housing
slowly, in a controlled manner, while maintaining a secure grip on the line.
14. Inspect prior to use by extracting all of the line, and returning it once again to
the housing. Check for smooth operation and proper line retraction.
11. With the nozzle slot oriented
vertically, and no twists in the line,
apply tension to the nozzle and
knot loop while removing the duct
tape and screwdriver that secured
the webbing
(Figure 11). Feed the
line back into the housing until the
nozzle and knot loop are against
the housing. Press the nozzle into
the housing so that the nozzle slot
remains vertical, and the nozzle
screw hole is aligned with the
housing screw hole. Again make
certain that the webbing has not
twisted as the nozzle is installed.
12. Install the sheet metal screw
through the housing screw hole
and into the nozzle screw hole
(Figure 12). Tighten the screw
until snug. Avoid over-tightening,
as you may strip the threads of the
nozzle.
