Reinstalling the Reel
1. Insert the ends of the line through the eyelets in the
outer spool (Fig. 33). Place the inner reel into the outer
spool. Grasp the ends and pull firmly to release the
line from the holding slots in the spool.
NOTE: The spring must be in the center of the
outer spool.
2. Install the bump knob and tighten counterclockwise
(see Fig. 26). Add a small amount of grease or oil to
the threads on the Bump Knob bolt to make it easier
to remove the Bump Knob the next time. Line installa-
tion is now complete.
INSTALLING A PREWOUND REEL
1. Follow the instructions in THE CORRECT LINE TO
USE.
2. Follow the instructions in REMOVING THE EXISTING
REEL.
3. Follow the instructions in REINSTALLING THE REEL.
Winding the Existing Reel
1. Take approximately 12.7 m (50 ft) 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. 30). Pull the line so that the loop is as small as
possible.
2. Wind the lines, in even and tight layers, onto the reel
(Fig. 31). Wind the line in the direction indicated on
the inner reel. Be sure not to overlap the two ends of
the line.
NOTE: Placing your index finger between the
two (2) lines while winding the line will
prevent overlapping of the lines.
NOTE: Failure to wind the line in the direction
indicated will cause the Bump Head to
operate incorrectly.
3. Insert the ends of the line into the two holding slots
(Fig. 32).
