Trimmer Line Assembly - Bump Head

1. Turn the spool following the rotation arrow until the feeding indicator on the spool aligned to

the trimmer line feeding slot as in, as Fig 8.

2. When the feeding indicator is aligned to the eyelet slot, the feeding hole will be visible. It will

be a through hole, as Fig 9.

3. Feed the trimmer line into the feeding hole through the eyelet slot, as Fig 10.

4. Adjust the trimmer line so it is at equal length, both sides of the bumphead as Fig 11.

5. Turn the spool follow arrow direction until desired trimmer line length as Fig 12.

* These procedures show a close up of the bumphead. In actual, when replacing the trimmer

line, the bumphead does not need to be dismantled from the powerhead.

* A ø2.4mm nylon line is recommended to provide best performance on this split shaft

trimmer. The bumphead can be fitted with trimmer line diameters from 1.4 mm to 4.0 mm.

The maximum length of the line that can fit the head varies according to the line diameter.

The maximum length capacity using ø2.4mm is 5 meters. Do not overfill the head spool with

excessive lengths of line as it will result in ineffective spool feeding of the trimmer line.
