LINE INSTALLATION
ADDING NEW LINE
1. Press and hold the two cap release latches (Fig. 15).
2. Pull the cap away from the hub.
3. Remove the spool.
4. Use a clean cloth to clean the spool and inner
surface of the hub.
5. Cut two 10.5 feet lengths of replacement line.
NOTE:
Always use original equipment manufacturer
0.065 in. (1.65 mm) replacement line. Other line
may make the motor overheat or fail.
NOTE:
Always use the correct line length. The line
may not release properly if it is too long.
6. Insert one line into each of the two slots on the spool
(Fig. 16).
7. Wind the line onto the spool by turning the spool
clockwise (Fig. 17). The line should wrap snugly
around the spool. Do not twist or cross the line.
Wind the line until there are approximately 4 inches
remaining.

spool (Fig. 18).
9. Put the spool back into the hub.
