Unable to get the tabs to release the spool despite pressing on each one individually as stated in instructions, is there a tool to press on both side

Hi..I had this same minor problem.. what you need to do is press down the same time and then align the grooves and then it will

Maybe line is stranded, so you need to take spool out and put it again into machine. But you need to secure both lines first before inserting passing thru both holes, then push the securing cap util it clicks. Cut excess of line in both sides by alingning with border of orange protector and cutting it so it will not going out of it. In YouTube are some good videos on how to reload spool. Hope it helps!

The test tab is located in the same place as the thermostat which is in the plastic near the plug end. You should be able to see a switch to press (not a button but a switch underneath the plastic). If this is being depressed it would keep the system activated so you can't have it compressed with tape or anything.

If you do a search on you tube you will find a video that will show you how to do it. It is kind of difficult and if you are not careful you will break the tabs off

I experienced the same issue, to solve it, first; I squeezed the tab with a pair of pliers, (flexing it a bit to loosen it up), then, while inserting the plug, I angled the tab into the hole on the frame (as much as possible anyways), then once its was all lined up, I just gave it a good sack down on my work bench and voila! Success! Although it seemed like it was hard and maybe even a bit brittle, I really doubt it will break.

Using a flat edge screw driver, I pushed on the plastic tabs at each end of the brush. I removed the old one and slipped in the new one. I used the screw driver because I did not have enough strength in my finger to push the tab over.

I used a pair of wire cutters to cut both sides of the tab, then twisted the darn tab off completely. Friction will hold the connector into the diagnostic connector on the car. MUCH easier now!!

I forgot to answer the spool issue: sometimes the spool-feed does not work correctly. What I do is take the spool out, and apply a generous amount of WD-40 to the pin of the base, the spring, and the inside of the spool. Sometimes I have to clean the top/cap of the spool-holder which get funked up with grass rests. Hope this helps improving you "cutting edge".

I've never had this problem. My question to you would be: Is your line old, frayed in anyway, or kinked? Try to release the line out all the way and respool it, going from right to left on the spool in a tight and even manner. Let me know how you make out.

I try to place the number sticker inside the other end of the spool, but some have come off with use.

Remove the cover. Slide the cartridge in with the ink facing down. It will click in place and will break off the tabs

Make sure you're trying to turn the collar only... its right hand thread so turn counter clockwise as you're looking at the tip head on... try wrapping a rag around the collar and use a channel lock style pliers

Hi Patrick. The spool should feed. I've not experienced your problem. Maybe you have a bad spool. Have you tried another spool?

The only way is to remove the spool cover by squzziing the prongs on the spool cap then remove and wind. Refer to Owners Manual. But Yes you can . I bought a 2 pack refill kit from Amazon for $7 it's from B&D; original equip . I would highly recommend doing that instead of buying cheap line and doing it yourself . You might save a buck but it even comes pre loaded and that's hard to beat . Hope that gives you something to think about .

I did not try to do this so I cannot really provide any specific direction. However, if I were attempting to do this the first step I would take would be to heat the current plastic fitting with a hair dryer and hope that this might (note....might, no assurance,) loosen the fittings up so I could twist them off with pliers.

It looks like you can unfasten the end caps using the tip of a scissors and pressing one side of it. I don't know how to describe it but here is a link to a you tube video that demonstrates it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDr7-7NAblY&feature;=youtube_gdata_player

You should not have to twist anything.on the sides are 2 tabs you push in and spool comes off.
