SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS

LINE REPLACEMENT

Pre--wound spools offer the most convenient method for replacing line and ensuring opti- mum performance.

SReplacement spools are color--coded to en- sure use of the correct spool with your unit. Be sure to use the same color spool as the existing spool.

NOTE: Always clear dirt and debris from cutting head components when performing any type of maintenance.

SHold spool and unscrew cap by turning in the direction shown on top of the cap.

REFILLING THE SPOOL WITH LINE

WARNING: Use only 0.080” (2 mm) diameter round line. Other sizes and shapes of line will not advance properly and will result in improper cutting head function or can cause se- rious injury. Do not use other materials such as wire, string, rope, etc. Wire can break off during cutting and become a dangerous missile that can cause serious injury.

1.Cut a length of 25 feet of 0.080” (2 mm) di- ameter round WEED EATER brand line.
