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.
