To fit nylon line only:
• Remember !
Your product is designed to use only
nylon line with a
maximum diameter of 1.5mm
.
Use only genuine Flymo nylon line.
1. Take approximately 10 metres of line. Insert 15mm
of line into the hole in the spool
(T)
and wind line
in the direction of the arrows on the top of the
spool. Leave approximately 100mm of line
unwound and place into cleat

neatly coiled on the spool. Failure to do so will
impair the efficiency of the automatic line feed.
