MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLING A PREWOUND REEL
Always use genuine replacement line. Using
larger line then the unit is designed for may
make the motor overheat or fail.
1. Remove the bump head cover by pressing
in
both bump head cover tabs visible on either
side of the bump head outer spool
(Fig. 12, Pg. 11).
NOTE:
The spring will push the cover up
when the tabs release.
2. Remove the old inner reel and spring from
the outer spool (Fig. 12, Pg. 11).
3. Remove the spring from the old inner reel
(Fig. 12, Pg. 11).
4. Use a clean cloth to clean the inner surface
of the outer spool (Fig. 12, Pg. 11).
5. Insert the end of the line, on the prewound
reel, through the eyelet in the outer spool
(Fig. 16)
6. Place inner reel and spring inside the
outer spool.
NOTE:
The spring must be assembled on
the inner reel before reassembling
the bump head.
7. Hold the inner reel in place, grasp the line
end and pull firmly to release the line from
the holding slot in the inner reel (Fig. 17).
8. Install the bump head cover over the inner
reel. Align the tabs on the cover with the
slots in the outer spool and press the cover
evenly down until it snaps into place.
NOTE:
Make sure the bump head cover tabs
snap into place or the inner reel will
come out during operation.
