8. Lay the line from the left mounting
hole into the upper spool section. Lay
the line from the right mounting hole
across the other line. Insert this line
into the retaining slot between the
upper and lower spool section, then
lay the line into the lower spool sec-
tion. See Figure 4-20 for proper line
placement.
9. Place the line from the upper spool
section through the line retaining ring
(see Figure 4-21).
10. Place the line retaining ring back on
the spool (see Figure 4-22).
11. Position each line section in the slots
on either side of the retaining ring
(see Figure 4-23).
12. Hold the retaining ring in place
and make sure the line remains in
the retaining ring slots. Rotate the
spool while holding the retain-
ing ring in place. The line will roll
onto the spool (see Figure 4-24).
IMPORTANT: Make sure to rotate the
spool so the line winds onto spool in
the direction indicated on the spool
top. Wind line until four inches of
line remains outside the spool.
13. Replace spool onto spool spring and
press spool down. Lay exposed trim-
mer/edger line into slots on spool
housing (see Figure 4-25).
14. Align tabs on spool cover with slots
in spool housing. Replace spool cover
onto spool housing and snap into
place (see Figure 4-26).
