4. Check the indexing teeth on the reel and reel

housing for wear. If necessary, remove any burrs or

replace the reel or reel housing (Fig. 22).

Winding the Reel

1. Take approximately 25 ft. (7.6 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 reel.

Pull the ends through equally until the loop is as

small as possible (Fig. 23).

2. Place your index finger between the two lines to

stop the lines from overlapping (see Fig. 24).

3. Wind both lines at the same time in even and tight

layers onto the reel, in the direction indicated on the

reel (Fig. 24).

NOTE." Failure to wind the lines in the direction indicated

will cause the cutting head to operate incorrectly.

4. Insert one line end into each holding slot (Fig. 25).

Reinstalling the Reel

1. Insert one line end through each of the eyelets in the

reel housing, and insert the reel and spring back into

the reel housing (Fig. 26).

2. Grasp the line ends and pull firmly to release them

from the holding slots in the reel.

3. Hold the reel in place and screw the Bump Knob

clockwise back onto the reel (see Fig. 19).

TO INSTALL A PREWOUND REEL

1. Obtain a correct prewound reel of cutting line. See

The Correct Line to Use section.

2. Follow the instructions in the Removing the Reel

and Reinstalling the Reel sections.
