STIHL GB | How To Reload The Line On An AutoCut C 3-2 Mowing Head | STIHL GB @STIHLGB | Uploaded November 2020 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
When the time comes to reload the mowing line in your AutoCut C 3-2 head, there are a couple of options available to you. One option is to refill the line spool itself, or you can replace the line spool with a pre-wound spool.
In this video, we’ll show you in detail how to complete both options.
Step by step guide:
🔶 Regardless of which option you choose, it’s important to make sure you have removed the battery or disconnected the power source to remove the risk of the machine accidentally starting whilst you are working on it.
🔶 Prop the machine up so you can easily access the mowing head.
** Reloading the original line spool **
🔶 The old line usually comes out completely on its own, but any line left still in it should be loose enough to pull it out.
🔶 To reload your mowing head with a new line, you need to make sure that the arrow on the top of the head is aligned with the two arrows on either side of the white cover. The spool can be refilled with up to 8 metres of either 1.6mm mowing line or up to 5 metres of 2mm line.
🔶 Take your length of chosen line and push one end through the hole on the side, all the way through so that you have an equal amount of line on either side. When you have enough line either side, wind it up in the direction of the arrows on the cap and it will draw the line in. You will need around 10cm of line either side, so trim any excess line.
** Replacing the Line Spool **
If you don’t want to reload the original line spool then the other option is to replace the line spool itself.
🔶 To replace the line spool, you will need to press in the two buttons on the sides which will remove the cover, so you can remove the empty spool.
🔶 When inserting the new spool, poke the line through the holes as shown in the video, and push it into place. The white plastic sleeve must be slotted into the correct sections inside the head itself.
🔶 Replace the cover, which easily clicks into place and if you have any excess line, trim the ends.
