about 6 inches (150 mm).

For replacement line, call 1–800-828-5500or go to an authorized service dealer.

For single line installation or replacement spool installation instructions, refer to the Replacing the Trimming Line section of this manual.

*This is to assist in the reloading of Splitline® only. These instructions are NOT part of the fast assembly instructions. Line does not need to be installed on the initial assembly and start-up.

Insert the end of one line into the top hole and the end of the other line into the bottom hole.

Wind the line tightly in the direction shown on the inner reel. The split wall will divide the line. Wind the line until it is completely divided and about 6 inches (150 mm) of line remains.

Insert the two 6-inch sections into the two .095 holding slots.

Pass the two line ends through the eyelets. Place the spring inside the inner reel. Insert the inner reel into the outer spool. Push the inner reel and outer spool together.

IMPORTANT: READ THE OPERATOR’S MANUAL THOROUGHLY AND FOLLOW THE SAFE OPERATION PRACTICES WHILE OPERATING THE UNIT.
