The standard cord installation method is shown in Figures
Important! When using PTA™ (Parallel Trimming Action), install the cutting cords in one of the bottom four line plates. Installing the cutting cords on the upper line plates can cause the cord to hit the wheel. For

Note: After you install the cords and before trimming, engage the cutting head with the engine running and spin new cords for a few seconds so they pull tight and are set.
1.Insert the ends of the cords into the openings in the line plate, as shown in Figures 11 and 12.
There are different sized arrows at the insertion points to indicate what size cords fit the holes.
2.Push the cord through until it comes out the center hole in the line plate as shown in Figure 12. You may also reference Figures 9 and 10 for a cross sectional look at installing the cords. Adjust the cords so the tips are even.
3.Pull the cords through the loop and push the loop up into the line plate groove above them, as shown in Figure 13. The larger cord exits through the larger opening and the smaller cord through the smaller opening. Pull the cords tight.
