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
TO INSTALL NEW TRIMMING LINE, IT IS NOT
NECESSARY TO REMOVE THE BUMP KNOB.
The Correct Line to Use
WARNING:
Always use genuine
Ryobi replacement line.
Do not use
metal-reinforced line.
It is very important to use the correct size line.
Use line with a diameter of 0.080 in (2.03 mm).
The motor may overheat and fail if you use a
larger line.
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
(Figs. 14 and 15).
1. Line up the arrow on the inner reel with the
arrow on the outer spool (Fig. 13).

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.
