Filling mowing heads

AutoCut C 25-2

The AutoCut C head has an on-board line storage spool and the line is fed while the machine is running. This is done by tapping the end of the spool on the ground, which momentarily releases the locking mechanism allowing centrifugal force to advance a measured length of line. Excess line is trimmed by the guard mounted cutter.

With the AutoCut C, mowing line replacement is an especially fast and simple procedure. It is neither necessary to open the mowing head for refilling nor is it necessary to prepare equal lengths of mowing line.

  • Step 1 of 4: Moving the mowing head spool into position

    Rotate the end of the mowing head spool until the indentations line up with the arrows on the base plate.

  • Step 2 of 4: Inserting the line

    Now take a piece of line with a max. length of 8 m and insert the ends about 30 mm, or until resistance is felt, into the opposing openings of the mowing head. Make certain that the ends of the line have been trimmed with a diagonal cut.

  • Step 3 of 4: Winding on the line

    Now turn the spool of the mowing head in the direction of the arrows on the end of the spool. This winds the line onto the spool.

  • Step 4 of 4: Cutting the line

    When the line has been rewound far enough, cut through the protruding line in the middle. The ends of the line should protrude approx. 12 cm out of the head.
