5 Replacing Line For replacement line, you can purchase either a new, pre-wound spool of line (model no. 88175, 88052, or 88035) or bulk line (0.065 inch dia. (1.6 mm) x 30 ft. (9 m)) that you can wind onto the old spool. Both are available from your Authorized Toro Dealer. Caution Metal wire, rope, plastic knives, or any material other than Toro .065 inch dia. (1.6 mm) nylon monofilament may overload the motor, possibly causing a fire or electrical shock. Do not use any material other than Toro .065 inch dia. (1.6 mm) nylon monofilament, 30 ft. (9 m) maximum line length. Removing the Spool 1. Twist the cap off counterclockwise. Installing the Spool Caution If you do not fully install the spool and cap, the trimmer could throw them during operation, causing injury to you or bystanders. 1. Holding the line and spool, insert the spool into the cutting head and the line into the eyelet. 2. Holding the line and spool, place the cap over the spool. m-7853 2. Remove the cap and spool. Note: If the spring falls off, install it before installing the spool. 3. Thoroughly clean the cutting head and cap and inspect them for any damaged or worn parts. m-7855 m-6302 Rewinding the Spool Note: If you are replacing the spool with a new, pre-wound spool, discard the empty spool and skip this section. 1. Remove any cutting line left on the spool. 2. Hook one end of line all the way into the slot on the spool, allowing no more than 1/8 inch (3 mm) to protrude. 3. Wind the line in the direction of the arrow on the spool, in level rows, between the spool flanges. Note: The trimmer will not function correctly if you wind the line in the wrong direction, the end of the line protrudes more than 1/8 inch (3 mm), or you wind more than 30 ft of line on the spool. 3. Twist the cap on securely clockwise. m-7854 m-6303 3352-881
