NOTE:
Making sure arrows are aligned, insert the end of a piece of trimming
line straight into one of the two eyelets in the outer spool. Push it up
through the line loading hole in the inner reel (Fig. 12). Do not bend the
line when inserting it into the eyelet.
Insert the line into the locking hole (Fig. 13). Do not push the line more
than a 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) into the line locking hole. The line will form a
small loop (Fig. 13) when it is inserted correctly.
Pull the line from the outer spool until the line is tight against the inner
reel (Fig. 14).
Repeat procedures
4-6 with the second piece of line in the other eyelet.
Do not wind the inner reel before installing the second piece of line.

If winding the line becomes difficult or if the line jams, pull the ends of
the line from the spool (Fig. 16). Continue winding the inner reel
counterclockwise
until 4 inches of line remains on each side.
