What to do if the cutting attachment on my Troy-Bilt TB90BC will not advance line?

If the cutting attachment on your Troy-Bilt Trimmer won't advance the line, consider the following: * The cutting attachment may be bound with grass. Stop the engine and clean the cutting attachment. * The cutting attachment might be out of line. Refill it with new line. * The inner reel could be bound up. Clean the inner reel and outer spool. * The cutting head may be dirty. Stop the engine and clean the cutting attachment. * The line could be welded. Disassemble, remove the welded section, and rewind. * The line may have been twisted when refilled. Disassemble and rewind the line. * Not enough line may be exposed. Push the bump knob and pull out line until 4 inches (102 mm) of line is outside of the cutting attachment.
