REPLACE STARTER CORD

[RICHARD]

How do I remove the cover so as to get to the retractable cord? The cord broke and needs replacing. How do I do it? I have no manual that will help. Ryobi trimmer SS30 straight shaft.

Hi Richard,

To remove the cover you will first need to replace the clutch drum. Removal of the clutch drum isn't too hard of a project at all if you know a few tricks first. We have prepared an article and video that will provide you with all of the information you will need to remove the clutch drum. You can find the article and video at the following link...
