Replacement Flymo Twin Line Spool Cover

The ALM FL289 is designed for Flymo twin line grass trimmer models using the corresponding spool cover arrangement.

Twin line trimmers use two cutting line ends to trim grass and maintain lawn edges.

The spool cover forms part of the cutting head assembly and helps keep the line spool correctly positioned.

A damaged or missing cover should be replaced before the trimmer is used.

Flymo FLY060 Replacement Spool Cover

The ALM FL289 is listed as a comparison replacement for Flymo FLY060.

This reference is useful when identifying the correct spool cover for a compatible Flymo grass trimmer.

Always check the trimmer model and existing spool cover design before purchasing.

• FLY060

• 5127851-00/3

• 5128250-87

• 5055135-90/8

These references can help identify a suitable replacement spool cover.

Compatibility should be confirmed using the exact grass trimmer model and cutting head configuration.

Ideal for Damaged or Missing Spool Covers

Grass trimmer spool covers can become worn or damaged through regular garden use.

Replacement may be necessary if the cover is:

• Cracked

• Broken

• Missing

• Worn around its retaining points

• Unable to remain securely attached

Do not operate a grass trimmer with an incorrectly fitted or damaged spool cover.

Spool Cover vs Trimmer Spool

The spool cover and cutting line spool are different components.

The spool holds the nylon cutting line, while the cover helps secure the spool within the compatible trimmer head.

The ALM FL289 is a replacement spool cover, not a complete replacement spool and line assembly.

Check the product requirements carefully if you also need a replacement spool or cutting line.

How to Fit

1. Switch off the Flymo grass trimmer completely.

2. Disconnect the power supply or remove the battery, where applicable.

3. Wait until the cutting head has stopped moving.

4. Check that the ALM FL289 is compatible with your trimmer model.

5. Remove the damaged or worn spool cover according to the Flymo manufacturer's instructions.

6. Inspect the spool and cutting head for damage or debris.

7. Position the replacement spool cover correctly.

8. Secure it using the trimmer's intended retaining mechanism.

9. Check that the cover is properly fitted and cannot come loose.

10. Reconnect the power only after the cutting head has been correctly reassembled.

Important: Do not modify the cover or trimmer head to make an incompatible part fit. Always follow the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
