What to do if the Trimmer string cannot be pulled ahead on my Texas Trimmer?

If your Texas Trimmer string cannot be pulled ahead, it might be due to several reasons. The string may have melted together, possibly from cutting too close to rocks and walls – in this case, replace the string. Another reason could be that there's not enough string on the spool, so install more string. The string might also be worn short, in which case you should pull the string out while alternatingly pushing and releasing the string housing. Also, the string may have become twisted or tangled on the spool, so take the string off the spool and wind it back on. Finally, the engine RPM might be too low, so advance the string at full throttle.
