MAINTENANCE & REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
Slotted Holes
For Use with Single
Line ONLY
NOTE: SplitLine™ can only be used with the inner reel
with the slotted holes. Single line can be used
on either type of inner reel. Use Figure 15 to
identify the inner reel you have.
NOTE: 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.
Single Line Installation
Go To Step 8 for SplitLine™ Installation
6. Take approximately 40 feet (12.2 m) of new trimming
line, loop it into two equal lengths. Insert each end of the
line through one of the two holes in the inner reel
(Fig. 16). Pull the line through the inner reel so that the
loop is as small as possible.
7. Wind the lines in tight even layers, onto the reel (Fig. 17).
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.
SplitLine™ Installation
8. Take approximately 20 feet (6.1 m) of new trimming line.
Insert one end of the line through one of the two holes in
the inner reel (Fig. 18). Pull the line through the inner reel
until only about 4 inches is left out.

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 (Fig. 18).
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 (Fig. 19).
13. Insert the ends of the line through the eyelets in the
outer spool and place inner reel with spring inside the
outer spool (Fig. 20). 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.
NOTE: The spring must be assembled on the inner reel
before reassembling the cutting attachment.
14. Hold the inner reel in place and install the bump knob by
turning clockwise. Tighten securely.
