Maintenance (continued)
Winding the Existing Inner Reel
1. Hold the outer spool with one hand and unscrew the
Bump Knob clockwise (Fig. 6-1). Inspect the bolt
inside the Bump Knob to make sure it moves freely.
Replace the Bump Knob if damaged.
2. Remove the inner reel from the outer spool
(Fig. 6-1).
3. Remove spring from the inner reel (Fig. 6-1).
4. Use a clean cloth to clean the the inner reel, spring,
shaft, and inner surface of the outer spool.
5. Check the indexing teeth on the inner reel and outer
spool for wear (Fig. 6-2). If necessary, remove burrs
or replace the reel and spool.
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 6-
3 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 20 feet (6 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. 6-4). 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. 6-5). 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 10 feet (3 m) of new trimming
line. Insert one end of the line through one of the two
holes in the inner reel (Fig. 6-6). 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. 6-6).
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.
