The spinner does not turn the spool with the line on it. Can you tell me why?

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!

I am assuming that it spins with the spool removed? Also assume that you are referring to the snap-in line spool. I don't see how the spool could make a difference, is there something wrapped around the shaft under the head that is being caught when the spool is snapped in, or is binding the spinning head. if it's a brush type motor then dirt in the brushes, worn-out brushes, or broken brush spring, can cause intermittent operation which may seem like another unrelated action.

it does not let line out till you stop it, make sure the line is wound correctlyif it does not spin it's broken send it back

I think you turn the rear drag counter clock wise or just hold it and unscrew the spool several turns counter clockwise. The guy at Dick's sporting goods helped me when I purchased line for him to spool new line.

I hope I can explain this properly. Here goes: Turn the trimmer upside down and put the spool with the writing and the arrow up so you can read it. Put the end of the string through the hole in the side of the spool holder, then put the cover on until the two side pieces snap into the holder, if you don't here a snap turn it till you do as this is what holds the cover on. That is all thee is to it. Good luck

I made the same mistake. You have to put the spinner in the container. It is the spinner that revolves magnetically from the motor and that is what causes the vortex

I'm unsure what your question is asking...I will suggest the following - I will purchase just the string next time. I found the spool was poorly wound such that I had to unwind it to free the string from excessive overlapping. I then manually reattached the string and have had no issues since.

This trimmer is meant to be self feeding, but it should only be feeding out line as you need it. If it is feeding out more than that, I would check the spool to make sure it and the spring loaded cap are both installed correctly I ususally have the opposite problem, where after extended use, the line heats up and doesn't want to feed out, but it is easily corrected by removing the cap and adjusting the spool. Were you using something other than factory line before?

If you mean the spinning part, mine only moves when I move it. If you mean it slips on where you have it positioned, Maybe put it on a non slip pad or surface. If it spins like a top(very loose), I would believe it may be defective

Make sure you use only 1 line clear through head. Make sure the arrow on the inner spool is in the right direction according to rotation of head. I fought mine until the light bulb came on and I realized I only needed 1 long piece of twine and needed to put inner spool in right and wind correctly. Works great now. Directions in manual not real clear.

Try adjusting the tension piece that is attached to the pull lever. Sometimes it needs a little adjusting to pull the wire to start theotor

Sometimes while putting on a new spool, I get the line crossed on the spool and it will not feed properly because the line in crossed over the one that should feed too tight to let it come out

If there is no water coming through the spinner check to see if there is trash in the filter screen at the hose connection. If water is coming through the spinner try turning it by hand. I have not had this problem. Good luck.

Line does not come on the reel spool when you receive it. Line is very easy to put on the spool and you should have no problem doing this.You can go on to the Penn web site and you will fined the information concerning extra reel spools for the Penn FRC6000.ThanksBill

Make sure the spin time is set for more then 5 seconds. I had a similar problem. Check the voltage on your batteries. The meter in the feeder is in lnconsistant. Replace batteries if necessary. Also let the feeder system reset by removing the batteries for a while.

I've replaced the line spool, not the entire head. Mine's over 15 years old with all original except for fuel lines and grommet and a new spool.

Hi al, the spool that came with the trimmer is the only one i have and the spool #that came with the trimmer model # 51480 is ( spool # 88512 ) also the same thing happened to me as my neighbor and after about 4 months the auto advance line dosen't work anymore and as soon as the trimmer line breaks you have to advance by hand, a real pain, hope this helps you a little, sandy.

On mine you unscrew the collar (outer ring) and the spool just slides off. I seem to remember that the first time I tried to get the collar off it was really stuck, even had a few strong friends try but no luck. I was afraid I'd break it & took it back to the dealer - figured if he broke it he'd make it right. He really strained but eventually it started to turn, I think a gorilla must have tightened it at the factory. Once I got the collar loose I put a little Vaseline on it and haven't had a problem since.

Same thing happened to me on first try. Call Barnett and they will send you a new spool properlywound with new cord. Be sure to loop new replacement cord to rear of stock frame before cocking.
