STARTING A FLOODED ENGINE

Flooded engines can be started by placing the choke lever in the OFF CHOKE position; then, pull the rope to clear the engine of ex- cess fuel. This could require pulling the starter handle many times depending on how badly the unit is flooded.If the unit still doesn’t start, refer to TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE or call 1-800-554--6723.

Cut from your left to your right.

TRIMMER LINE ADVANCE

The cutting head advances line automati- cally. Do not tap head on the ground to ad- vance line. This may break parts and cause

cutting head to malfunction.

Upon unit start up, the line will advance auto- matically to the correct cutting path length. Always keep the shield in place when the tool is being operated.

REPLACING THE LINE

Pre--wound spools offer the most convenient method for replacing line and ensuring opti- mum performance.

S Replacement spools are color--coded to ensure use of the correct spool with your unit. Be sure to use the same color spool as the existing spool.

NOTE: Always clear dirt and debris from cut- ting head components when performing any type of maintenance.

SHold spool and unscrew cap by turning in the direction shown on top of the cap.

SRemove line guide ring and spool.

SUse a pre--wound spool or refill spool with line. If using a pre--wound spool, remove tape strip from line and spool.

REFILLING THE SPOOL WITH LINE

WARNING: Use only 0.080” (2 mm) diameter round line. Other sizes and

shapes of line will not advance properly and will result in improper cutting head function or can cause serious injury. Do not use other materials such as wire, string, rope, etc. Wire can break off during cutting and become a dangerous missile that can cause serious in- jury.

SCut a length of 30 feet of .080” (2 mm) diam- eter round Poulan PRO! brand line.

Feed line in direction shown on spool.

Spool

SInsert one end of line into center cavity of empty spool. Ensure line will feed into spool in the direction shown on the spool

(counterclockwise).

SContinue feeding line into spool, leaving 4 -- 6 inches (10 -- 15 cm) unwound from center of spool.
