To replace nylon line. Replacement nylon line
is available from most Flymo/Partner stockists.

To replace spool and line (complete)
1.
Take new spool and remove tape holding
line in place.
2.

To replace nylon line on spool.
1.
Take line and insert into hole in spool.
2.
Turn spool clockwise to wind on required
amount of line, (approx. half = 10m) and
cut line to length, see fig X. Care should
