5. Installation Instructions

Follow these steps to replace the string trimmer spool and cap:

1. Prepare the Trimmer: Ensure your Ryobi string trimmer is turned off and the battery is removed for safety.
2. Remove Old Cap and Spool: Locate the existing cap cover on the trimmer head. Press the tabs on the side of the cap (if present) or twist it counter-clockwise to remove it. Carefully pull out the old spool.
3. Insert New Spool: Take a new Generep spool. Thread the end of the trimmer line through the small hole on the trimmer head, ensuring about 6 inches of line extends outside. Place the new spool into the trimmer head, aligning any notches or guides.
4. Secure the Line: Gently pull the line to ensure it is properly seated and does not tangle inside the spool housing.
5. Attach New Cap: Place the new cap cover (AC14HCA) over the spool and press down firmly or twist clockwise until it clicks into place, securing the spool. Ensure the cap is flush with the trimmer head.

6. Operating Instructions

After successful installation, reattach the battery to your Ryobi string trimmer. The pre-wound twisted line is designed for effective cutting. Operate the trimmer according to your Ryobi trimmer's original instruction manual. The automatic feed mechanism of your trimmer will dispense new line as needed during operation.

7. Maintenance

• Line Storage: Store unused spools in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain line flexibility and prevent brittleness.
• Clean Trimmer Head: Regularly clean grass clippings and debris from the trimmer head and cap to ensure proper line feeding and prevent buildup.
• Inspect Line: Before each use, inspect the trimmer line for wear, fraying, or damage. Replace the spool if the line appears compromised.

8. Troubleshooting

• Line Not Feeding: Ensure the spool is correctly installed and the cap is securely fastened. Check for any debris obstructing the line exit hole. If the line is tangled, remove the spool and manually unwind/rewind it.
• Excessive Line Breakage: This can occur if the line is old, brittle, or if you are trimming against hard surfaces. Ensure the line is fresh and avoid contact with concrete, rocks, or fences.
• Cap Not Fitting: Verify that the correct cap (AC14HCA) is being used and that no debris is preventing it from seating properly.
