5. Insert the line into the locking hole (Fig. 14). Do not
push the line more than a 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) into the
line locking hole. The line will form a small loop
(Fig. 14) when it is inserted correctly.
3. Pull old line out of the line loading and line locking
holes (Fig. 13 and 14).
4. Insert a piece of trimming line straight into one of the
two eyelets in the outer spool. Push it up through the
line loading hole in the inner reel (Fig. 13). Do not
bend the line when inserting it into the eyelet.

(Fig. 17). Continue winding the inner reel
counterclockwise.
