Installation Instructions

Follow these steps to replace the spool line in your compatible Ryobi string trimmer. Always ensure the trimmer is turned off and the battery pack is removed (for cordless models) or unplugged (for corded models) before performing any maintenance or installation.

1. Safety First: Disconnect the power source from your string trimmer. For battery-powered models, remove the battery pack. For electric corded models, unplug the power cord from the outlet.
2. Remove Trimmer Head Cap: Locate the trimmer head cap, usually at the bottom of the trimmer head. Press in on the tabs or twist the cap counter-clockwise to remove it.
3. Remove Old Spool: Carefully lift out the old, empty, or damaged spool from the trimmer head. Note how the line was routed.
4. Insert New Spool: Take the new Ryobi 310917001 spool. Ensure the trimmer line is properly secured in the spool's retaining slots. Align the ends of the trimmer line with the eyelets on the trimmer head.
5. Feed the Line: Gently push the ends of the trimmer line through the eyelets on the trimmer head until they emerge on the outside.
6. Replace Trimmer Head Cap: Place the trimmer head cap back onto the trimmer head, aligning any tabs or grooves. Press firmly or twist clockwise until it clicks securely into place.
7. Verify Installation: Tug gently on the trimmer lines to ensure they are properly seated and the spool is secure.

Refer to your specific trimmer model's owner's manual for detailed diagrams and model-specific instructions if needed.

Operating Guidelines

Once the new spool is installed, follow your string trimmer's operating instructions. Ensure you wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as eye protection, long pants, and sturdy footwear when operating the trimmer.

• Line Feeding: Most Ryobi trimmers feature an automatic line feed system. If the line does not feed, ensure the spool is correctly installed and the line is not tangled.
• Cutting Technique: Use the tip of the line to cut. Avoid forcing the line into thick brush, which can cause premature line breakage.
• Storage: Store the trimmer and spare spools in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prolong the life of the trimmer line.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your string trimmer and spool line.

• Clean Trimmer Head: Periodically clean grass clippings and debris from the trimmer head and around the spool area.
• Inspect Line: Before each use, inspect the trimmer line for wear, fraying, or damage. Replace the spool if the line is severely worn or damaged.
• Storage of Spools: Store unused spools in their original packaging in a cool, dry environment to prevent the line from becoming brittle.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your string trimmer after installing the new spool, consider the following:

• Line Not Feeding:
  • Ensure the spool is correctly seated and the cap is securely fastened.
  • Check for tangled line inside the spool housing.
  • Verify the line ends are properly threaded through the eyelets.
  • The line might be fused together due to heat; try unwinding a few feet and re-feeding.
• Excessive Line Breakage:
  • Avoid hitting hard surfaces like concrete, fences, or rocks.
  • Ensure you are not cutting too aggressively or trying to cut material too thick for the trimmer.
  • Check if the line is old or has been stored in extreme conditions, making it brittle.

For persistent issues, consult your string trimmer's owner's manual or contact Ryobi customer support.
