MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
LINE INSTALLATION FOR THE
SPEEDSPOOL®
The trimming line in the speed spool may be replaced by two different methods.
•Winding the existing inner reel with new line
•Installing a prewound inner reel
TO INSTALL NEW TRIMMING LINE, IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO REMOVE THE BUMP KNOB.
The Correct Line to Use
WARNING: Always use genuine Ryobi replacement line. Do not use
It is very important to use the correct size line.
Use line with a diameter of 0.080 in (2.03 mm). The motor may overheat and fail if you use a larger line.
WINDING THE EXISTING INNER REEL WITH NEW LINE
NOTE: Before installing new trimming line onto the existing inner reel, remove any old line from the SpeedSpool by pulling the line out of the line loading or locking holes (Figs. 14 and 15).
1.Line up the arrow on the inner reel with the arrow on the outer spool (Fig. 13).
WARNING: Always use the correct line length when installing trimming line on the unit. If longer line is used than specified in this manual, the line may not release properly.
