MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
SPEEDSPOOL
®
Always use original equipment manufacturer ™ 0.080 inch
(2.03 mm) replacement line. Lines other than those specified
may make the engine overheat or fail.
There are two methods to replace the SpeedSpool® trimming
line:
• Wind the inner reel with new line
• Install a pre-wound inner reel
Winding the Inner Reel With New Line
NOTE:
It Is unnecessary to remove the bump knob to install a
new trimming line.
1.
Cut two pieces of 0.080 inch (2.03 mm) trimming line, 10
feet (3 m) long.
2.
Hold the outer spool and turn the inner reel counterclockwise
to line up the arrows on the outer spool and inner reel (Fig. 17).
3.
Pull old line out of the line loading and line locking holes
(Fig. 18 and 19)
4.
Insert a piece of trimming line straight into one of the two
eyelets in the outer spool. 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.
5.
Insert the line
into the locking
hole (Fig. 19).
Do not push the
line more than a
1/2 inch (12.7
mm) into the line
locking hole.
The line will form a small loop (Fig. 19) when it is inserted
correctly.
6.
Pull the line from the outer spool until the line is tight
against the inner reel (Fig. 20).
7.
Repeat procedures 4-6 with the second piece of line.
8.
Hold the outer spool. Wind the inner reel counterclockwise
until approximately 4 inches (102 mm) of line remain (Fig. 21).
NOTE:
Do not wind
the inner reel
before installing
the second piece
of line.
9.
If winding the line
becomes difficult
or if the line jams,
pull the ends of
the line from the
spool (Fig. 22).
Continue winding
the inner reel
counterclockwise.
WARNING:
Always use the correct line length
when installing trimming line on the unit. The line
may not release properly if the line is too long.
WARNING :
Never use metal-reinforced line, wire,
chain or rope. These can break off and become
dangerous projectiles.
