Maintenance

Environmental Information

To replace nylon line.  

For your convenience it is recommended you buy spool
and line complete.  Nylon line only is also available.  Both
are available from Electrolux Outdoor Products stockists.

To fit spool and line complete:

1. Remove the cap.
2. Remove old spool. 
3. Place spool into spoolholder.
4. Release one line from cleat.
5. Secure line into slot 

(U1)

.

6. Repeat for second line.

Ensure spool is fully located by gently rotating it dur-
ing fitment, whilst keeping the spoolholder steady.

7. Refit the cap.

To fit nylon line only: 

Remember ! 

Your Flymo Trimmer is designed to use

only nylon line with a maximum diameter of 1.5mm.
Use only genuine Flymo nylon line.

1.

IMPORTANT - Always wind the line onto the
upper section of the spool first.

Take approximately 5 metres of line. Insert 15mm of
line into one of the holes in the upper section of the
spool 

(U2)

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 as illustrated in
figure 

U3

.  Repeat on lower section of spool.

2. Care should be taken to ensure that the line is neat-

ly coiled on the spool. Failure to do so will impair the
efficiency of the automatic line feed.
