line up the two arrows on the bottom, remove any excess string, cut two pieces of string about 10 feet, feed line in the side holes, secure line in hole wear it comes out the bottom (it only takes about 1/4in. to do so), pull strings tight, then turn counter clockwise. sometimes it sticks a little just pull line a little. (you do not have to take anything apart) Hope this helps. Good luck!
