When replacing the spool cover in your string trimmer,

We recommend performing the procedure with little or no fuel in the tank.

Depress the two retaining tabs to release the lower trimmer head housing.

Lift the spool out of the housing and detach the bump knob.

Remove the trimmer line from the spool.

You can now release the tabs to detach the old spool cover (it's still intact).

Install the new cover by aligning it in the spool and snapping it into place.

Reposition the bump knob on the bottom of the spool.

Position the spool and knob in the lower housing.

Realign the lower housing assembly on the upper head housing and spring, then snap it into place.

To install the trimmer line, first align the bump knob arrows with the lower housing eyelets.

Feed the trimmer line through one eyelet and out the other until an equal amount of line is on both sides.

Now align the crank handle on the bump knob and rotate the handle clockwise while holding the trimmer head to wind the line around the spool.

Keep winding until the line is within the guard assembly and your string trimmer should be ready for use.
