Spring 06713

Springs are used within outdoor power equipment to provide tension and shock absorption, depending on their application and use. This spring is designed for use within trimmers/brush cutters and is made to provide tension on the spool reel mechanism, and in some cases may be used to advance the line whenever portions of it are cut off. This spring measures approximately 1.3-inches in length when extended and comes as an individual part. If you notice the line/spool in your trimmer is not advancing or is coming too quickly, the spring may be damaged and need replacing. Since this spring is a high-use part, it is not uncommon for it to lose tension over time and need to be replaced. To replace the spring, you will need to unscrew the covering cap, remove the spool feeding reel, remove the old spring and install the new spring with the rest of the assembly. Make sure to feed the line back into the appropriate feeding holes prior to operation of the trimmer.
