5.Check the indexing teeth on the inner reel and outer spool for wear. See Figure 13. If necessary, remove burrs or replace the reel and spool.
NOTE: You can only use the membrane line with the inner reel that contains slotted holes. Single line can be used on either type of inner reel. Use Figure 14 to identify the inner reel you have.

6.Take approximately 40 feet (12.2 m) of new trimming line and loop it into two equal lengths. Insert each end of the line through one of the two holes in the inner reel. Pull the line through the inner reel so that the loop is as small as possible. See Figure 15.

7.Wind the lines in tight even layers, onto the reel. See Figure 16. 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. Proceed to step 11.
