PUSH THE TRIM STOPPER KNOT OUT AND REMOVE THE EXISTING WORN TRIM SYSTEM. |

ATTACH LINES 2, 3, 4 & THE OH-SHIT HANDLE TO THEIR ATTACHMENT POINTS AT THE TOP OF THE NEW REPLACEMENT TRIM SYSTEM |
 |
FEED THE LOOSE END OF THE REPLACEMENT TRIM LINE THROUGH THE BAR & THE TOP OF THE MEGATRON. PUT SOME ELECTRICAL TAPE ON THE END OF THE TRIM SO IT DOESN’T FRAY. YOU MAY NEED TO USE LONG NOSE PLIERS TO ASSIST |
 |
TIE THE FIRST LOCKING KNOT IN THE BEAL TRIM LINE, LEAVE AT LEAST 5MM OF LINE AFTER KNOT |
 |
TENSION THE LINE TO MAKE THE FIRST KNOT TIGHT |
 |
TIE A SECOND KNOT ABOVE THE FIRST KNOT. |
 |
PUT TENSION ON THE BEAL TRIM LINE AGAIN TO ENSURE BOTH KNOTS ARE WELL SEATED. THERE IS A MARK ON THE BEAL THAT SHOULD LINE UP WITH THE TOP KNOT TO ENSURE THE TRIM LINE IS THE CORRECT LENGTH. |
 |
NOW FASTEN BOTH SIDES OF THE SPINNING HANDLE TO THE TRIM LINE ABOVE THE MEGATRON BODY USING THE 2MM ALLEN KEY |
 |
THEN PUT THE EXPERTS LEASH RING BACK IN PLACE USING THE 2.5MM ALLEN KEY. THE GRUBS SCREWS SHOULD SEAT JUST INSIDE THE BODY |
 |
ENSURE THE LOCKING KNOTS SPIN FREELY AS YOU ROTATE THE SPINNING HANDLE. IF NOT YOU MAY NEED TO TENSION THE KNOTS MORE OR TRIM THE TAIL ON THE LINE. |
 |
NOW YOU'RE READY TO RIDE AGAIN. |
