Filling mowing heads

TrimCut 31-2

The TrimCut mowing head has a line storage device, but the line must be fed manually. The line may only be fed out when the engine is switched off. To do this, the screw on the mowing head must be loosened and the lines pulled out manually on both sides.

  • Step 1 of 6: Removing the spool.

    Undo the screw on the mowing head by turning it clockwise and remove the spool.

  • Step 2 of 6: Winding on the line

    Take two lines, each with a maximum length of 8 m, 6 m or 5 m depending on the line (see the enclosed information sheet for the maximum line length). Insert the end of one line in one of the eyes of the spool and wind on the line according to the indicated direction of winding. Please make certain that the line is wound on evenly and tightly. Insert the end of the line in one of the openings on the spool.

  • Step 3 of 6: Winding on the second line

    Now re-fill the second chamber by repeating step 2. Insert the end of the second line in the opposite side of the spool.

  • Step 4 of 6: Inserting the spool

    Hold the spool over the mowing head. Thread the ends of the lines through the holes in the mowing head and then pull the line out of the openings in the spool. Push the lines through to the outside and then insert the spool in the mowing head.

  • Step 5 of 6: Tightening the screw

    Now insert the screw and tighten it by turning it anti-clockwise.

  • Step 6 of 6: Shortening the ends of the line

    Shorten the ends of the line so that approx. 12 cm protrude from the opening on each side.
