  If the line on your Ryobi Trimmer isn't advancing, here are some possible solutions: * **Line is welded to itself:** Lubricate the line with silicone spray. * **Not enough line on the spool:** Install more line. * Pull the lines while alternately pressing down on and releasing the bump head. * **Line is worn too short:** Remove the line from the spool and rewind it. * **Engine speed is too slow:** Advance the line at full throttle.
