Filling mowing heads

Please choose which mowing head you want to fill with new line. Please make certain that the correct, approved guard for the mowing head is installed. For the correct guard and proper installation, please consult the Instruction Manual.

In general, you should make certain that the lines are equally long on both sides. The lines will be shortened to the correct length by the blade attached to the guard when used for mowing the first time.
