Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to properly install the trimmer head on your compatible string trimmer.

1. Prepare Trimmer: Ensure your string trimmer is turned off, the engine is cool, and the spark plug wire is disconnected (for gas models) or the battery is removed (for cordless models).
2. Remove Old Head: Carefully remove your existing trimmer head. This usually involves unscrewing it in the direction opposite to the shaft's rotation. Consult your trimmer's manual if unsure.
3. Check Compatibility: This trimmer head is designed for left-hand (counterclockwise) rotating trimmers only. It is not suitable for right-hand (clockwise) trimmers or snap-on trimmers. Verify your trimmer's shaft thread direction and size.
4. Select Correct Hardware: Identify the correct nut and bolt from the provided hardware kit that matches your trimmer's shaft thread. The kit includes various sizes (M8X1.25LH, M10X1.25LH, M10X1.0LH for nuts; M8X1.25-6g LH, M10X1.25-6g LH, M7X1.0-6g LH for bolts).
5. Install Gasket: Place the provided gasket onto the trimmer shaft, ensuring it sits flush.
6. Attach Trimmer Head: Screw the selected nut/bolt combination onto your trimmer's shaft. Then, align the trimmer head and securely attach it. Ensure it is tightened firmly but do not overtighten.

Operating Instructions

The SIMUSI Easy Load & Auto Feed Trimmer Head simplifies line management, allowing for quick reloading and continuous feeding.

Loading Trimmer Line (No Disassembly Needed)

This trimmer head features an easy-load design, eliminating the need to disassemble the head for line replacement.

1. Prepare Line: Use the provided 0.095" trimmer line or a compatible line up to 0.105" in diameter. The head can hold up to 14 feet of 0.095" line.
2. Align and Insert: Locate the arrows on the trimmer head. Press the side tabs to open the line entry points. Align the orange mark on the line with the corresponding mark on the head. Insert one end of the trimmer line through one eyelet and push it straight through the head until it exits the opposite eyelet. Pull the line through until both ends are roughly equal in length.
3. Wind Line: Once the line is inserted, twist the knob on top of the trimmer head in the direction indicated by the arrows (usually clockwise). The line will automatically wind onto the spool inside the head. Continue winding until only about 6-8 inches of line extend from each side.

Auto-Feed (Bump Feed) Mechanism

The bump feed design allows you to extend the trimmer line without stopping the trimmer.

1. Start Trimmer: Start your string trimmer and bring it to operating speed.
2. Tap Head: While the trimmer is running at full speed, gently tap the bottom of the trimmer head on a firm surface (e.g., the ground). This action will release a small amount of additional trimmer line.
3. Repeat as Needed: Repeat the tapping action as necessary to maintain the desired cutting length of the trimmer line.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your SIMUSI Trimmer Head.

• Cleaning: After each use, clean the trimmer head to remove grass clippings, dirt, and debris. A stiff brush or compressed air can be used. Ensure no debris is lodged in the line eyelets or around the bump knob.
• Inspect for Wear: Periodically inspect the trimmer head for signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Pay close attention to the eyelets where the line exits, as these can wear down over time.
• Line Replacement: Replace the trimmer line when it becomes too short or shows signs of significant wear. The dual-color line included with the product has an orange center section that indicates when the line is running low, signaling it's time for a refill.
• Storage: Store the trimmer head in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
