How to reload a RYOBI 40V Trimmer Line

[@gjwilliams4098]

I just spent a whole hour trying to put this shit back together only to find out that I didn't have to take it apart in the first place?! Wtf!

[@abadlobster5461]

Same here bro😮

[@josephkahn9251]

How do you put it back on

[@TriedTrue]

Brooooo you too!!? I really didn’t like him much after this very informative video. 😂😂🙏🙏

[@AJOEY7]

Same bro

[@lorenzoreyes4832]

Ur an ikea pro then lol no reading instructions needed babe

[@auxiliarylens3876]

Thank you! Better than removing the head and taking it apart like I was told in another video

[@1jameslsmith1]

Can you do a video on how to put it back together once you take the whole thing apart? Thanks

[@ridinwithricky6444]

All my lawn equipment is Ryobi 40v, I love it!! Had it for 2 years now, I learned this on the first day 😳

[@marvin7048]

I'm loving mine too.

[@sunshine3914]

I’m loving my 8-yr-old 40v mower. The newer ones, not so much.

[@brianhagerman7]

Does the string get stuck every 2 - 3 minutes? Wish I didn’t buy this.

[@ridinwithricky6444]

@@brianhagerman7 I’ve never had an issue with the string getting stuck, on my trimmer. I’d be lying, if I said that my string has never gotten stuck, usually if it has, I myself, have either put it on incorrectly or used a thinner gauge string. Have you converted the head and used the serrated blades? Those work really well. They do wear down, after a while but they’ll never bind up or get stuck.

[@brianhagerman7]

@@ridinwithricky6444 I’ve only used the string that matched what it came with and I haven’t tried the blades. My cheapo whacker works better than this. Plus mine throws debris everywhere. I have to avoid any areas that have poison ivy bc it’ll launch it all over me. Are there no attachments? Maybe I got a lemon or something.

[@hotwheelz90000]

What a lifesaver, was struggling with this for a bit. Thank you!

[@AngelSun_99]

Same i took the whole thing apart and added the string then it wouldn’t close anymore 😂

[@SJ-hw2we]

Same here I'm good now!

[@kwel1013]

Oh my lort! I was absolutely blown away it was this easy ! I have had surgery on both my wrists and I would of never been able to take it apart much less put it back together! Thanks a whole lotta !

[@sethimothy]

Straight and to the point.

[@Havenlybeats]

Thank u so much, what a life saver and what a useless operator manual that comes with it.

[@senghbeh]

Thank you! It’s makes this lil Africa yard cut much easier to be able to load the spool quickly. Cheers!

[@biizubiizu9373]

You save my life. Thanks for sharing

[@GMoney_1973]

Great video. Straight to the point. I really like my trimmer for ease of use

[@ag-sz8oc]

The spring in the middle of the head blocks the string line from running through. So you have to take the whole thing apart. I spent an hour and a half trying to just run it through and it is literally impossible.

[@jorgedominguez7092]

Just bought the 40v carbon fiber weed wacker. And I love it!!!!

[@alphonsohawkins170]

Mannnn!!!!!! I almost had to buy a new phone. (I should have done disc throwing in school) I spent so much time messing with the weed eater, that I could have been done with this yard.

[@Fatboy53]

Thanks so much. I been doing it wrong! Works now, thanks again

[@GraceCavanaugh1]

THANK YOU!! This helped me sooooo much! I don't have to ask for help anymore 🙏🏼

[@MrColeHomer]

Nice, i watched a few terrible videos before i found one as fast and easy as this. WORKS FOR HART 40v trimmers too(not all the models but mine is the same, i saw a video or 2 with a different spool

[@D.U.B]

Thanks your a lifesaver 👍

[@johncesarz4163]

Worked like a charm! Would like to know how much line is recommended. I put about 11ft so just under 6ft for each side.

[@matthewschneider4758]

Manual says 10ft max (5ft per side)

[@jonnysnipes3123]

The best trimmer ryobi ever made was the 700r and 720r. Man I wish those days still existed

[@Fortnutterking]

The problem is that most people expect a short line just lock in place. The minute you make it long it confuses people. Basically it has extra line storage for no reason beside gimmick.

[@acehillz7448]

Finally it works. Great video😁

[@gilbertahsam643]

Thank you for teaching me how to load

[@Jmoneypoprocks]

What sucks is after a years use the arrows wear off

[@sallymiller5101]

Same with ours!

[@FluidITGuy]

Just look at it sideways and you'll see the hole

[@DGoat88]

I think that’s the way most new electric trimmers are my GreenWorks 60vPro surely is the same

[@alvinator5203]

But Ego has automatic string feeder. Literally click and hold for string to wind itself up.

[@PositiveROI]

Worked perfect. Thanks

[@eddie3669]

Lol your a life saver

[@RobinMoylan-lz5xk]

Thank you so much!!! That makes it so fast!!!

[@sherlenemorse1561]

I don't know where it went yesterday but I watched one. That said you got to turn them That was all the rest i've seen today so is it clockwise or counterfluoride

[@user-bv2rw9ri8v]

Thank you so much 🙏

[@EgressFromStress]

So life changing thanks brothet

[@tanya45096]

I have a Ryobi trimmer and will I have to get a new trimmer to get this, I'd love to have one.

[@ekim8958]

I did this but the strings keep flying out longer. lol I don’t know why it’s not locking the strings length in place.

[@trex9907]

Dope this was awesome thanks

[@ronmarysaltsman4888]

Yep piece of cake I actually read the directions!

[@rico300zx]

Small print in those manuals

[@lisabeaton2541]

Thank you so much!!!! Great explanation

[@debramartin9396]

I had a hard time getting the line through the holes

[@markthompson7503]

What if there is line stuck in there so you can’t feed new line and the locking mechanism is so damn hard to undo you can get that off?

[@JimmyDot]

Having the same issue. 😢

[@robertjustice9766]

What is the type of string do you use?

[@johnnierichardson3289]

Soooo easy, I love mine!

[@TheMentalHealthToolbox]

Thanks!

[@Ray-wh6zt]

Can someone explain to me why my string comes out all at once after loafing it in?

[@anthonyhenryzuchowskijr.9333]

How do I change the entire head unit on mine

[@yeahdude1986]

You can do this with a toro speed head too.

[@jemmafisher6390]

Very helpful thanks

[@californiahighdesertpreach2261]

Just to let everyone know, when you by this trimmer for 179$ American here in 2023 you must then pay 219+ taxes just for a extra battery.

[@MarkLLawrence]

I got one with a damaged box for $150 including the 6 AH battery. Jumped on that like ants to soda!

[@samantharg4380]

Holy crap tks

[@marckoantonioburrolaportel5710]

Mine won’t crank back in.. any help? It’s stuck on lock to

[@jamalkhan2924]

What happens if you crank too much? How do you get it out

[@alexandramunoz4551]

That's what I'm trying to figure out 🫤

[@leavers20002012]

Me too!!! What is the answer!?

[@puffdragon]

My line is broken off inside, how do I open it?

[@mikelowrey6214]

Thanks, I thought I had to press down the light green thing to put the string in. 🤷🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

[@Tvo281]

What do you do if there's line already in there and you want to make the line longer?

[@wingsoverglades]

While it's at full throttle smack it on the ground, more will spin out.

[@jamesgiles8075]

My line is stuck inside. How do you get it off?

[@kevinchararara]

Seconding this, can’t find instructions anywhere

[@jamesgiles8075]

@Kevin C figured it out but the clips holding it in on are flimsy and it’s basically broken now

[@mstewart214]

I need help with this too

[@Carlos-wy4on]

Anyone have the video to remove when stuck

[@wyldvigilante]

Give em time and hopefully Ryobi will improve on this

[@ignacioruvalcababautista75]

thank you very much

[@John-qz2sy]

Thank you

[@qjack5883]

Thank You Thank You Thank You!!!!

[@harrisond8132]

I wish the 18v was as easy.

[@rivi8840]

Line is nravelled after I started using it

[@alistairc7376]

Mine won’t go through

[@maknificent904]

Smh I've been loading mine wrong all this time.

[@YellowBoltTC]

Just get ego and push a button

[@troylee3179]

How long is the runtime

[@daniel.s844]

And only one position will work 😂 the position that you see a tiny “light” all other position will fail

[@anthonyhenryzuchowskijr.9333]

Model 2002

[@dickphan]

Bloody makita....should have gotten a ryobi

[@dantescaliber35]

Omg so easy😂

[@dwaynemaxima]

That was easy...😁😁😁

[@Davina.J]

Thanks

[@stuffluster]

What thickness?

[@jamesyarno7011]

.080 line length?

[@justintaylor3175]

It's not that easy trust me. I sat there for 2 hours trying to feed it through

[@lizardlickselkanus]

The green dial strips because it’s made of cheap plastic. The cord keeps extending out and wrapping itself around the centre. Absolute Junk.

[@KUPUStheGreat]

DUDE YOU ARE NOT SERIOUS RIGHT NOW…. It’s this easy 🤦‍♂️….. my dumbass was trying to make it waaaaayyyyy too hard on myself ://///

[@rivi8840]

Didn’t work

[@emjaiz]

Doesn't work on my piece of shit Ryobi

[@jerrycorp3632]

This system is trash

[@FuzzyWalrus123]

Doesn't work. Don't buy this crap

[@bmorgan9795]

It works just fine♥️♥️

[@gjwilliams4098]

Well of course it doesn't work for idiots!

[@juzaspex89]

Garbage this doesn’t work

[@NTS-Saber]

Thank you so much I was weed eating and it just stop and I figured out it was out I took it apart then saw you didn't have to 🫠🥲

[@walterwhite751]
