20 Most Recent Toro Electric Trimmer Questions & Answers

1. Remove the cap on the trimmer head, it unscrews.

2. The spool comes off, and on the inside of the spool there is a small hole, this is where you will start your trimmer line. It it will hold it in place while you wrap it. There is also arrows on the spool showing the direction that you need to wrap your spool.

3. Insert the line in the hole and start to wrap the line in the directions of the arrows, try to keep the line in rows, or else the line may bind and you will have to do it all over again.

4. Feed the line through the retainer and reinstall the spool by lining up the retainer and the slot on the outside portion on the trimmer head, the screw back on the trimmer head and you will be ready to trim.

I am having the same problem - the spool should just come off by turning it counter-clockwise but is completely stuck. This model does not have any tabs that need to be pushed in to get the spool off. Very frustrating!

If the motor is smoking it will be shot, probably cheaper to but a new machine rather than changing the motor.

Need more information on this model. Do you have a serial number? Please recheck model number and do you know what year?

The "start times" are often mistaken for zone start times with this model. These times are actually if you want your sprinkler to run/start more than once a day. If you only want your sprinkler to run once a day, then you should set start times number 2 and 3 to "OFF". The "OFF" setting is between 11:45pm and 12:00am as you cycle through time settings. This is not in the manual. You're welcome!
