NOTE: SplitLine™ can only be used with the inner reel containing slotted holes. Single line can be used on either type of inner reel. Use Figure 20 to identify the inner reel you have.

Slotted Holes

7.Wind the lines in tight even layers onto the reel. See Figure 22. Wind the line in the direction indicated on the inner reel. Place your index finger between the two lines to stop the lines from overlapping. Do not overlap the ends of the line. Proceed to step 11.

8.Cut approximately 12 feet (3.65 m) of new trimming line. Insert one end of the line through one of the two holes in the inner reel. Pull the line through the inner reel until only about 4 inches is left out. See Figure 23.

9.Insert the end of the line into the open hole in the inner reel and pull the line tight to make the loop as small as possible. See Figure 23.

10.Before winding, split the line back about 6 inches.

11.Wind the line in tight even layers in the direction indicated on the inner reel.

NOTE: Failure to wind the line in the direction indicated will cause the cutting attachment to operate incorrectly.

12.Insert the ends of the line into the two holding slots. See Figure 24.

13.Insert the ends of the line through the eyelets in the outer spool and place inner reel with spring inside the outer spool. See Figure 25. Push the inner reel and outer spool together. While holding the inner reel and outer spool, grasp the ends and pull firmly to release the line from the holding slots in the reel.
