How do you change string head on kawasaki weedeater?

Answer 1

I have a Kawasaki KTR27A string trimmer and I am very disappointed that Kawasaki's Owner's Manual did not include instructions on how to put new string in their trimmer. The challenge was getting the spool out. I finally figured out that you need to depress the center bumper and turn it clockwise. It will move easily to a stop, then turn it just a little harder and you will feel it move a little more. That releases it and you can pull it straight out. Then, just wrap new string on (direction is indicated on the spool), feed the two ends out through the holes in the head, and put the spool back in making sure not to have any of the new string underneath the spool. Then depress the bumper and turn in counter-clockwise to set it in place.
