Cutting string is available in two thicknesses, 155 mil
(standard) and 175 mil (heavy duty). The type of string
selected is dependent on the conditions and material
being cut.
Cutting string can be wrapped in a variety of ways. Refer
to Figures 5.2, 5.3, and 5.4 for examples. The wrapping
method and cutting string thickness chosen is ultimately
based on what is determined the best for the operator.

hub with the attached trimmer pulley to move freely.
4. Remove the two screws (3) on the sides of the body
at the back of the machine. Push up on the back of
the engine and down on the handle bar. The body will
pivot near the front of the engine, opening the back,
and exposing the belt. Place a small block of wood in
the opening to keep from closing.
5. Remove worn or broken belt.
6. Install new belt from the front to the back. Feed belt
above the front trimmer pulley and below the rear
pulley.
Ɣ A belt that is too tight will damage bearings/spindle
shaft/belt.
Ɣ A belt that is too loose will slip and cause premature
failure.
Ɣ The engine should be placed under load while in
thick grass, if not the belt may be slipping.
