Neuton CE 6.2 manual Maintaining and Storing the NEUTON Trimmer, Replacing the Spool

Maintaining and Storing the NEUTON Trimmer

This section explains how to clean and store the Trimmer, replace the Spool, and change the Spool Housing.

ALWAYS REMOVE THE SAFETY KEY BEFORE REMOVING THE TRIMMER FROM THE MOWER, PERFORMING ANY ADJUSTMENTS, MAINTENANCE, SPOOL CHANGES, OR REPAIRS TO THE TRIMMER. ALLOW THE TRIMMER TO COOL AT LEAST FIVE (5) MINUTES BEFORE SERVICING OR STORING.

Replacing the Spool

Replace the Spool when the Cord runs out.

1.Using two (2) fingers, press the Clips on the side of the Spool Housing (Figure 39) and push them UP slightly towards you. The green Cover will pop up part way and then remove it. The outer black Spool Housing stays on the Trimmer.

2.Lift out the empty Spool.

3.Thread the end of the new Cord through the metal opening in the Spool Housing.

4.Insert the new Spool with the printed side facing out (so you can read it).

TIP Try gently pulling on the Cord to help seat the new Spool.

5.Replace the green Cover. Make sure the Clips (I each side) in the Cover align with the Slots in the Spool Housing. If they don’t, press the Clips and turn the Spool Housing until the Clips and Slots align. The Clips must snap securely into place.

Replacing the Spool Housing

You only need to replace the Spool Housing if it is damaged or cracked. You do not need to remove the Shield to replace the Spool Housing. If the Cord runs out, only change the Spool.

1.Remove the green Spool Cover. See “Replacing the Spool” for details.

2.Using a flat-head Screwdriver, hold the Shaft in place (Figure 40) so it won’t turn and unscrew (counterclockwise) the Spool Housing with your hand and remove it.

3.Install a new Spool Housing in the reverse order and securely tighten by hand.
