Replacing the nylon cord
-
First, stop the engine.
—
Press on the housing latches inward to lift off the cover; then
remove the spool.
—
Hook the center of new nylon cord into the notch in the center of
the spool, with one end of the cord extending about 80 mm
(3-1/8") more than the other.
Then wind both ends firmly around the spool in the direction of
the head rotation (left-hand direction indicated by LH and right-
hand direction by RH on the side of the spool).
—
Wind all but about 100 mm (3-15/16") of the cords, leaving the
ends temporarily hooked through a notch on the side of the
spool.
—
Mount the spool in the housing so that the grooves and protru-
sions on the spoo! match up with those in the housing. Keep the
side with letters on the spool visible on the top. Now, unhook the
ends of the cord from their temporary position and feed the cords
through the eyelets to come out of the housing.
—
Align the protrusion on the underside of the cover with the slots
of the eyelets. Then push the cover firmly onto the housing to
secure it.
