Is your Speed Feed head clogged up? Here's how to fix it: easily take it apart, unload the old string, and replace with new line. Not hard when you see how it's done.
Music:
Towards the beginning of the video
"My Lady Careys Dompe" wonderfully played by Jon Sayles | copyright free no restrictions | www.jsayles.com... | Anonymous composer, circa 1524, England.
and toward the end
"Rondeau" composed by Henry Purcell (1658 - 1695) - A very nice three-part light and quick dance. Performed by Jon Sayles | copyright free no restrictions | www.jsayles.com...

did all that line fit really fit in the spool?
@maximpulse

Yes.No special effects here! But some folks say their spool fills up after only 12 feet of line. The manual says 20 feet, but either some spools wrap tighter or maybe there are different capacity spools. There's no law against loading less than what the manual says if that's what works for you. If you try 20 and have some left over, I guess your only consolation is you'll know better the next time. :-(

The Echo SRM-225 manual says: "Cut one piece of line to recommended length. .080 (2.0 mm) dia. - 20’ (6 m) .095 (2.4 mm) dia. - 20’ (6 m)" I just checked and I use the .095" (2.4mm) diameter line. Here's a link to the kind I use: amzn.to/2jknYFh They have both sizes. The star shape cuts a lot better than the round line. I don't think the brand name matters much. I have Grass Gator line, but that's just what my local hardware store had on the shelf. You can also find this star shaped line at local hardware stores. I have links to my other videos and more stuff for trimmers on my web site here: www.greendept.com/maximpulse/tools/echo_trimmer.html If you don't have one, a shoulder strap is the most wonderful thing to prevent fatigue.

Your video is 6 years old yet it works just as well with my new 2019 Echo trimmer as it did with your 2013 model. I appreciate that Echo figured out if something works, don't fix it. I love the Speed Feed. Not that big of deal to pop the top off if line is inside and it goes back together easy. Love the power of my Echo and I truly appreciate you taking the time to post this video. To be honest my reloaded spool seemed to run out of line a lot quicker than the factory wound spool. I will play around withnit some more to see if I am doing something wrong. Thanks again for this simple to follow video!

I'm glad the video was useful for you. I have to re-watch it every so often myself. Laziness leads me to just load 12 feet of line instead of the official 20 feet of line just so I don't have to wind it as tightly…or as carefully, I guess. Maybe Echo has some machine that winds their bobbin more efficiently…I dunno! I have a 3D printer that utilizes filament wound on a spool. I know the factory can wind it on the spools I buy then when I try to rewind one of the buggers. Come to think of it, it may be a bit like winding line in a fishing reel (back and forth nicely, hopefully). The Echo SRM-225 manual says: "Cut one piece of line to recommended length. .080 (2.0 mm) dia. - 20’ (6 m) .095 (2.4 mm) dia. - 20’ (6 m)"

@@RAMPHD The sting/line I use does wear out gradually, so I bump and feed out more. I don't let it get so short it is even with the holes. I think the line feeds out by centrifugal force so there needs to be some visible to pull more out. Is your line breaking off at the hole or are you using it to cut until it gradually wears down that far? If it is breaking off then it sounds like it is too brittle. My line never breaks off.

Informative video. I like the idea of this speed Feed head. The conventional head, no matter how careful I am always seems to fail with the line braking in the head. I wonder if your line is brittle. I have been advised by my local dealer to immerse the package of line in water for 24hrs after a long period of storage.
@maximpulse
@maximpulse 4 жыл бұрын
I don't think my line is brittle. The "star" shape really does cut more effectively than round line. Whether line is brittle or not usually has to do with plasticizers, not water…so I'm puzzled by the dealer's advice. And most of my breaks had to do with cutting really thick stems. I'm in the process of using up some Grass Gator .095" x 266' Shaped Replacement Trimmer Line Model Number: 7095L (it has worked well)

Great video, it's very helpful. Thanks! On the string length, it looks like you measured 120" or 10' of string, not 96" or 8' as stated. Thanks again!

I usually load less than is recommended in the manual, just because I believe it feeds out easier when it isn't crammed in there. I can't recall exactly how much I loaded 7 years ago, but it has been running great!

The spool has arrows pointing for which direction your trimmer rotates. Spool arrows go in direction of rotation, that determines which way spool goes in.

Thanks. If you put the spool (newer symmetrical version) in the wrong direction then the line actually gets pulled back in when bumping. Ask me how I know.

Hi JI! Well, that's VERY interesting! I don't know if I can justify replacing a perfectly good head just to experience this but I truly appreciate you pointing this "detail" out! Thank you!!! Do you know the name of this newer head so I can find it on-line?

I suppose the strings gets brittle with age and breaks inside the spool. Then there's not enough weight for centrifugal force to pull the string out. I saw on a video that dipping the string in water will restore its flexibility and make it less prone to breaking off.

I had the same problem this morning. BUT, the locking tabs will not move. I think I will try tomorrow (maybe when I have less hand fatigue I can move them). I have done this many times, not sure what the problem is now.

At 1:02 I hear me saying I am using the weight of my body to press down and then pushing up. So I didn't have to just use grip strength alone. Funny for me to have to listen to me to recall what the heck I did. It's only been 10 years…my memory must be failing…

@@maximhurwicz9226I did hear you say that - and YES I did try it. But - no go. I even used the edge of a pair of pliers - so I could push down with more force. Still nothing. Sprayed a little of WD40 between cap and housing and then it was easier to move. I think I got some dirt or sand stuck in there. I must be getting older!
