LINE INSTALLATION
This section covers both SplitLine™ and standard single line
installation.
Always use original equipment manufacturer 0.105 in. (2.67 mm)
replacement line. Other types of line may make the engine
overheat or fail.
WARNING:
Never use metal-reinforced line, wire,
chain or rope. These can break off and become
dangerous projectiles.
There are two methods to replace the trimming line:
• Wind the inner reel with new line
• Install a prewound inner reel
Winding the Existing Inner Reel
1. Hold the outer spool with one hand and unscrew the Bump
Knob clockwise (Fig. 30). 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. 30).
3. Remove spring from the inner reel (Fig. 30).

4. Use a clean cloth to clean the the inner reel, spring, shaft
and inner surface of the outer spool (Fig. 31).
5. Check the indexing teeth on the inner reel and outer spool
for wear (Fig. 32). If necessary, remove burrs or replace the
reel and spool.

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 33 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 18 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. 34). 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. 35). 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 9 feet (3 m) of new trimming line. Insert
one end of the line through one of the two holes in the inner
reel (Fig. 35). 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. 35).
