Winding the Inner Reel With New Line

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

1.Before installing new trimming line in the existing inner reel, pull old line out of the line loading and line locking holes (Figs. 20 and 21).

2.Cut two pieces of 0.080 in. (2.03 mm.) trimming line, 10 feet (3 m.) long.

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.

3.Line up the arrow on the inner reel with the arrow on the outer spool (Fig. 19).
