STRING REPLACEMENT

See Figures 16, 17, 18 and 19.

1Stop the engine and disconnect the sparking plug wire. Hold the string head and unscrew the spool retainer. Turn anticlockwise.

2Remove the spool from the string head. NOTE: Keep the spring attached to the spool. Remove any old string remaining on the spool.

3Cut two pieces of string, each being approximately 2.7 m (9 ft) long.

4Insert the first string into the anchor hole in the upper part of the spool. Wind the first string round the upper part of the spool anticlockwise, as shown by the arrows on the spool. Place string in the slot on upper spool flange, leaving about 152 mm (6 in) extended beyond the slot. Do not overfill. After winding the string, there should be at least 6 mm (1/4 in) between the wound string and the outside edge of the spool.

5Repeat above step with second string, using the bottom part of spool. Do not overfill.

6Replace the spool and the spool retainer. Refer to “Spool Replacement “ earlier in this manual.
