How to Install a New String on an Echo 200R Weed Eater

Installing new string on an Echo 200R weed eater is a simple process, as the 200R does not utilize a spool and string feed mechanism. Although this increases the frequency of string changes, it makes the process easier because you do not have to keep with removing a spool, winding new string and getting the string to feed once you change it.
