SPOOL REPLACEMENT LINE TAP ADVANCE SYSTEM
NEW PREWOUND SPOOL
See Figures 7 and 8.
If replacing string only, refer to “String Replacement ” later in this manual.
Use only .080 in (2.0 mm) diameter monofilament string.
Use the manufacturer’s replacement parks for best performance.
1 Stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire or disconnect from the power supply. Hold the string
head and unscrew the spool retainer. Turn clockwise.
2 Remove the empty spool from the string head. Use the spring from the empty spool if one is not
ovided with the new spool and string.
3 To install the new spool, make sure the two strings are captured in the slots opposite each other on
the new spool. Make sure the ends of each string are extended approximately 6 in. (152 mm) beyond
each slot.
4 Thread the strings into the eyelets in the sting head. Carefully push the spool the spool into the string
head (gently pull the strings to the outside if necessary). When the spool is positioned in the string
head, grasp the strings and pull sharply to release them from the slots in the spool.
5 Push down and turn the spool counterclockwise until it no longer turns. Hold the spool down and
rotate clockwise a small amount. Release the spool. The spool should be locked down in string head.
If not, hold down and rotate until locked.
6 Make sure the string head and the spool retainer are installed o the shaft by turning the retainer
counterclockwise to tighten.
7 Pull the strings again to rotate the spool into cutting position. Push the spool retainer down while
pulling on string(s) to manually advance the string and to check for proper assembly of the string
head.
STRING REPLACEMENT
See Figures 9, 10, 11, and 12.
1 Stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire or disconnect from the power supply. Hold the string
head and unscrew the spool from the string head.
2 Remove the spool from the string head.
NOTE: Keep the spring attached to the spool. Remove any old string remaining on the spool.
3 Cut two pieces of string, each being approximately 9 ft. (2.7 m ) long.
4 Insert the first string into the anchor hole the upper part of the spool. Wind the first string around the
upper part of the spool counterclockwise, as shown by the arrows on the spool. Place string in the
slot on upper spool flange, leaving about 6 in. (152 mm ) extended beyond the slot. Do not overfill.
After winding the string, there should be at least 1/4 in. (6 mm) between the wound string and the
outside edge of the spool.
5 Repeat above step with second string, using the bottom part of spool. Do not overfill.
6 Replace the spool and the spool retainer. Refer to “Spool Replacement” earlier in this manual.
