MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS

6.Take approximately 25 feet (7.6 m) of new trimming line, loop it into two equal lengths. Insert each end of the line through one of the two holes in the inner reel (Fig. 32). Pull the line through the inner reel so that the loop is as small as possible.

NOTE: 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.

7.Wind the lines in tight even layers, onto the reel (Fig. 33). Wind the line in the direction indicated on the inner reel. Place your index finger between the two lines to stop the lines from overlapping. Do not overlap the ends of the line.

NOTE: Failure to wind the line in the direction

indicated will cause the cutting attachment to operate incorrectly.
