SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
LINE INSTALLATION FOR THE SPEEDSPOOL
Always use genuine MTD 0.080 inch (2.03 mm)
replacement line. Line other than specified may make
the engine overheat or fail.
WARNING: Never use metal-reinforced line,
wire, or rope, etc. These can break off and
become dangerous projectiles.
There are two methods to replace the SpeedSpool
trimming line:
• Wind the inner reel with new line
• Install a prewound inner reel
Winding the Inner Reel With New Line
NOTE: It is unnecessary to remove the bump knob to
install new trimming line.
1. Cut two pieces of 0.080 inch (2.03 mm) trimming
line, 10 feet (3 m) long.
WARNING: 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.
2. Hold the outer spool and turn the inner reel
counterclockwise to line up the arrows on the outer
spool and inner reel (Fig. 16).

3. Pull old line out of the line loading and line locking
holes (Figs. 17 and 18).
4. Insert a piece of trimming line into one of the two
eyelets in the outer spool. Push it up through the line
loading hole in the inner reel (Fig. 17). Do not bend
the line when inserting it into the eyelet.

5. Insert the line into the locking hole (Fig. 18). Do not
push the line more than 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) into the
line locking hole. When inserted correctly the line
will form a small loop (Fig. 18).
6. Pull the line from the outer spool until the line is tight
against the inner reel (Fig. 19).
