Common questions
Q: Will this 88518/88528 spool with cap fit my Toro 51488T and my older Toro 51480 trimmer?
Yes, this replacement spool with cap is made to fit Toro 51488, 51488T, and 51480 models. It’s also matched for units that use a 0.065” dual-line, 30 ft spool, so if your trimmer matches those specs, it should install correctly.
Q: Is this spool compatible with Greenworks models STBA40B210, BST4000, and 2101602A, or is it only for Toro trimmers?
It is compatible with listed Greenworks 40V string trimmers including STBA40B210, BST4000, 2101602, 2101602A, and ST40B410. The key thing to verify is that your trimmer uses a 0.065” dual-line spool in the 30 ft size, since that’s the configuration this replacement is designed around.
Q: Do I need to wind line onto this spool myself, and are there any installation tips for the cap?
This style of replacement spool is typically ready to install, so you shouldn’t need to rewind line before use. When installing, clean out any grass or debris from the spool housing first, then seat the spool evenly and make sure the cap snaps on securely so the line feeds smoothly during trimming.
