FAQs
Is this compatible with the Flymo Contour 600?
No, this part is specifically designed for the Contour 500 and 700 models.
Does this include the spool and line?
No, this is the replacement cutting head housing only.
Do I need any special tools to replace the head?
Generally, no tools are required, as most Contour models feature a tool-less removal and attachment system.
How often should I replace the trimmer head?
Replace it when you notice significant wear, cracking, or if the head no longer holds the spool securely.
Why is my trimmer head wearing out so quickly?
Frequent contact with hard surfaces like stone or concrete will accelerate wear on the plastic housing.
Troubleshooting
Trimmer head vibrates excessively during use
Ensure the head is correctly aligned on the drive shaft and that all mounting hardware is tightened securely.
Head will not attach to the trimmer
Verify that you have a compatible Flymo Contour 500 or 700 model and ensure the drive shaft is free of debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure the trimmer is disconnected from any power source. Remove the old trimmer head by unscrewing or releasing the locking mechanism as outlined in your trimmer's user manual, then align the new head with the drive shaft. Ensure it is firmly seated to prevent detachment during high-speed operation. To extend the life of your new trimmer head, avoid dragging the unit directly against abrasive surfaces like rocks or deep concrete cracks. Regularly clear away grass clippings and debris from the underside of the guard to prevent buildup that can increase strain on the motor and head assembly.
