Maintenance; Replacing The Spool; Replacing The String - Toro 51484 Operator's Manual

Maintenance

After each use of the trimmer, complete the following:
1. Remove the battery from the trimmer.
2. Wipe the trimmer clean with a damp cloth. Do
not hose the trimmer down or submerge it in
water.
CAUTION
The line cut-off blade on the deflector is
sharp and can cut you.
Do not use your hands to clean the
deflector shield and blade.
3. Wipe or scrape clean the cutting head area any
time there is an accumulation of debris.
4. Check and tighten all fasteners. If any part is
damaged or lost, repair or replace it.
5. Brush debris away from air intake vents on motor
housing to prevent the motor from overheating.

Replacing the Spool

Use only 1.65 mm (0.065 inch) diameter monofilament
string. Use original manufacturer's replacement string
for best performance (Toro Part No. 88532 or 88524).
Important:
Using a larger diameter string will
cause the motor to overheat and fail.
1. Remove the battery.
2. Push in the tabs on the side of the spool retainer
(Figure 13).

3. Pull the spool retainer up to remove it and
remove the spool.
4. To install the new spool, ensure that the string is
captured in one of the retaining slots on the new
spool. Make sure the end of the string extends
approximately 6 inches (152 mm).
5. Install the new spool so that the string aligns
with the eyelet in the string head. Thread the
string into the eyelet.
6. Pull the string extending from the string head so
the string releases from the slot in the spool.
7. Reinstall the spool retainer by depressing tabs
into slots and pushing down until spool retainer
clicks into place.
