MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLING A PREWOUND REEL

1.Hold the outer spool with one hand and unscrew the bump knob clockwise (Fig. 32). Inspect the bolt inside the bump knob to make sure it moves freely. Replace the bump knob if damaged.

2.Remove the old inner reel from the outer spool (Fig. 32).

3.Remove the spring from the old inner reel (Fig. 32).

4.Place the spring in the new inner reel.

NOTE: The spring must be assembled on the inner reel before reassembling the cutting attachment.

5.Insert the ends of the line through the eyelets in the outer spool (Fig. 40).

6.Place the new inner reel inside the outer spool. Push the inner reel and outer spool together. While holding the inner reel and outer spool, grasp the ends and pull firmly to release the line from the holding slots in the spool.

7.Hold the inner reel in place and install the bump knob by turning counterclockwise. Tighten securely.

WARNING: Never use metal- reinforced line, wire,

chain or rope. These can break off and become dangerous projectiles.

LINE INSTALLATION

Always use original equipment manufacturer 0.095 inch (2.41 mm) replacement line. Lines other than those specified may make the engine overheat or fail.

There are two methods to replace the SpeedSpool® trimming line:

Wind the inner reel with new line

Install a pre-wound inner reel

Winding the Inner Reel With New Line

NOTE: It Is unnecessary to remove the bump knob to install a new trimming line.

1.Cut two pieces of 0.095 inch (2.41 mm) trimming line, 10 feet (3 m) long.

2.Hold the outer spool and turn the inner reel counterclockwise to line up the arrows on the outer spool and inner reel (Fig. 41).

WARNING: 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.
