LINE INSTALLATION FOR THE

SPEEDSPOOL

®

The trimming line in the speed spool may be
replaced by two different methods.

• Winding the existing inner reel with new line

• Installing a prewound inner reel

THE CORRECT LINE TO USE

WARNING:

Always use genuine

Monoflail® replacement line. Do not
use metal-reinforced line.

It is very important to use the correct size line.
Line with a diameter of 0.60 in (1.52 mm) must
be used on Model 105r; 0.080 in (2.03 mm) for
Models 132r and 137r. The motor may overheat
and fail if you use a larger line.

TO INSTALL NEW TRIMMING LINE, IT IS NOT

NECESSARY TO REMOVE THE BUMP KNOB.

Winding the existing inner reel with new line

NOTE:

Before installing new trimming line onto
the existing inner reel, remove any old line
from the SpeedSpool by pulling the line
out of the line loading or locking holes
(See Figs. 18 and 19 for location of holes).

1. Line up the arrow on the inner reel with the

arrow on the outer spool (Fig. 17).

NOTE:

Do not wind the inner reel before the
second line is installed into the reel.

WARNING:

Always use the correct

line length when installing trimming
line on the unit. If longer line is used
than specified in this manual, the line
may not release properly.

2. Insert 

10 feet (2.5 m) for models with .080

in (2.03 mm) of trimming line and 15 ft (4.5
m) for models with .060 in (1.52 mm) line

into one of the two eyelets and push it up
through the line loading hole in the inner reel
(Fig. 18). Do not bend the line when inserting
it into the eyelet.

3. Insert the line into the locking hole (Fig. 19)

no more than 1/2 inch (12.7 mm). Do not
push the line too far into the inner reel. A
small loop is formed when the line is inserted
correctly (Fig. 19).
