Step-by-Step Instructions
If you need to replace the trimmer line or the entire trimmer head on your Troy Bilt weed trimmer, you’ll first need to remove the head from the trimmer. You can do this without tools, and it only takes a few minutes. Once the head is off, you can complete any maintenance or repairs and then reattach it to the trimmer.
1. Unplug the trimmer from the power source and lay it on a flat surface.
2. Locate the bump knob at the bottom of the trimmer head. This is a large, black knob that you twist counterclockwise to feed new trimming line through the head.
3. Grasp the bump knob with one hand and hold it in place. With your other hand, grab the bottom of the trimmer head and pull straight up. The head should come off easily. If it’s stuck, try twisting it slightly as you pull up.
4. Inspect the inside of the trimmer head for any debris or build-up and clean it out if necessary. If you’re replacing the entire head, discard it now. If you’re just replacing the trimming line, proceed to Step 5.
