How do you wind replacement line to the Poulan Pro String Trimmer?

Pro 4-cycle pp428s string trimmer

Could be the cutting line, if it is getting hot and becoming soft before it feeds out, it can stick. Try not winding the cutting line as tightly, this will give some space between the line and allow it some space to cool. If this doesn't help, the line is the problem.

You should wind it on the spool the opposite direction that it spins while operating it. If you wind it in the same direction as the spin, the line will come off the spool when in operation.

LINE REPLACEMENT (Fig. 8) (For Reel EasyTM Head) Use 2.4mm monofilament string. Use original manufacturer's replacement string for best performance. n Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire. n Cut one piece of string approximately 7.6m in length. n Rotate knob on string head until line on knob aligns with arrows on top of string head. n Insert one end of string into eyelet located on the side of the string head and push until string comes out through eyelet on the other side. Continue to push string through the string head until the middle section of the string is inside the string head and string outside the string head is evenly divided on each side. n Rotate the knob counterclockwise on the string head to wind the string. Wind the string until approximately 20cm remains protruding from the string head. INSTALLING STRING IN PRO CUT II STRING HEAD Use monofilament string between 2.4 mm and 2.7 mm diameter. Use original manufacturer's replacement string for best performance. n Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire. n Gather two of the pre-cut lengths of trimmer line provided or cut two pieces of trimmer line, in 28 cm lengths. n Insert the strings into the slots located on the sides of the string head. String should be pushed in until approximately 2 cm protrudes from the holes on the top of the string head. n Remove old string by pulling it from the holes located on the top of the string head. http://www.screwfix.com/sfd/i/cat/pdfs/89/p4763889.pdf

Basically, pull the string through the winding hole and knot it off insuring no more than .25" tail on the knot and pull tight. :)

You should be able to just pull the spool off the end. Try. Once you have it off, look closely at the spool. You will find the starting hole/s and the direction to wind the string. Good luck...Lee

Wind them both in the same direction.

Remove spool by firmly pulling on tap button. Cut two pieces of line (0.080) about 12 feet. Insert the two ends of the line into the small holes inside the spool. Wind the lines evenly and tightly on the spool. Wind the string in the direction of the arrows on the spool. Push the lines into the notches on the spool leaving three or five inches hanging there. Insert the two ends in the two holes in the hub. Align the notches on the spool with the holes in the hub and push it in until it snaps into place. Pull on the lines to release them from the notches.

turn trimmer upside down grab the spool head firmly and pull out replace string but wind in the way arrow shows you and replace fishing the loose end back through the hole on the side as you slip back together ,once together grab string and pull to remove any slack and away you go
