Tap and Trim@ Spool Line Replacement
Prewound Tap and Trim spools are available
through your local Toro retailer. If using a
prewound spool, skip down to Tap and Trim
Spool Installation below.
While prewound spools are convenient, a
more economical approach is to wind new
line on the existing spool. Tor0 monofila-
ment line can be purchased in bulk under
Toro part number 46-2710.
CAUTION:
Do
not substitute
any type
of
wire or other
string-like material as trim-
mer line. Use only Toro
approved replacement monofilament
I
1.
To
wind replacement line on the spool, first
hook one end of the line into the keyhole slot
in the top flange of the spool. See Fig. 112.
Figure 112
2. Wind the line on the spool in the direction of
the arrow shown on the spool. Use no more
than 48 feet of line as it will otherwise extend
beyond the spool flanges and cause binding.
Avoid criss-crossing to help prevent line
advancing problems later.
3.
Hook
the end of the line in one
of
the two
slots provided in the upper flange of the
spool to keep the line tight while installing
the spool.
4. Cut the line protruding from the keyhole slot
so
that only 1/2" remains.

of the spool flange, thread the line through
