HOW TO REPLACE THE MOWER LINE
For the best performance, use a heavy gauge (0.155" diameter)
mower line. Cut the length of the mower line to 21.5". Use the
length guide, located on the shield, to make sure the mower
line is the correct length. Place one end of the mower line at
location “A” and bend it along the raised portion of the shield.
Cut line at location “B”. SEE FIGURE 9.
Do not allow the length of the lines to vary more than one
inch. This is important to make sure the mower head is
balanced and does not vibrate.
NOTE: To extend the life of the mower line, keep the mower line
moist. If not kept moist, the nylon mower line will become dry
and brittle. Keep extra mower line in a can of water. The line
will then stay exible and easy to change. A exible line will
also last much longer.
1. Stop the engine. Wait for all moving parts to stop.
2. Remove the worn mower line from the line retainer.
3. First, thread the ends of the new mower line through the
outside loops. SEE FIGURE 10A.
4. Next, take the ends of the line, cross over the line retainer,
and thread the ends through the center hold. SEE FIGURE
10B.
5. Then, check to make sure that the ends of the line are
even. SEE FIGURE 10C.
