5.3 CUTTING STRING REPLACEMENT
To replace the cutting string:
1. Fold a 20" piece of cutting string in half.
Insert the piece into slot of trimmer head
disk until the bend in the string is past the
line holder tab.
2. Pull the string underneath the tab until
secured in place. It may be necessary to
remove pieces of broken or worn string before
new string can be properly installed.
Wheeled trimmers come standard with ECHO Cross Fire ® cutting string in .175" diameter. Replacement cutting string is
available in .175" or .155" diameters in ECHO Cross Fire ® or .155" in the round design. See Section 8 - Options, for a
complete list of replacement cutting string options. WARNING: Cut replacement string pieces to no longer than 20" (50
cm). Pieces longer than 20" (50 cm) can and will damage the trimmer shield.
The standard cutting height is 2-3/4". The cutting height
can be adjusted up in 1" increments. To adjust the cutting
height:
1. Insert a 1-1/16" open end wrench or wrench from
77524-00 wrench kit through opening on the trimmer
disk head and onto mow ball.
2. NOTE: It is important to orientate the wrench with
narrow side to the right as shown in Figure 5.1. This
will prevent having to back the wrench off to remove it
from the disk head slot.
