Mower Maintenance
Replacing the Mower Line
Service Interval: Before each use or daily—Check
the mower lines. Replace the line
when it is half the original length.
Use a 4 mm (0.155 inch diameter) mower line, with a
length of 55 cm (21-1/2 inches).
Important:
Do not allow the line lengths to vary
more than 2.5 cm (1 inch). Otherwise, the mower
head may not be balanced and vibrate during
operation.
Note:
Keep the mower line moist to extend its life,
maintain flexibility, and ease replacement. Store extra
line in water.
1. Remove the worn mower line from the line
retainer.
2. Cut new mower line to 55 cm (21-1/2 inches) or
using the length guide (
Figure 24 ) as follows:
A. Place 1 end of the line at 1 mark on the
shield.
B. Bend the line along the raised portion of the
shield to the second mark.
C. Cut the line at the second mark.
