To start the Poulan Pro P2500 Trimmer, ensure it has fresh fuel. Turn the switch to the 'on' position, press the primer bulb 6 times, set the choke to the full position, and pull the starter rope until the engine fires. Then, set the choke to half and pull again until it starts.
Use a mix of unleaded gasoline and high-quality 2-cycle oil at a ratio of 40:1. Ensure the gasoline has no more than 10% ethanol content to prevent engine damage.
To replace the trimmer line, first, turn off the trimmer and disconnect the spark plug wire. Remove the spool cover, take out the old line, and insert new line into the spool following the direction of the arrows. Wind evenly and replace the spool.
If the trimmer won't start, check the fuel level, ensure the spark plug is connected and clean, inspect the air filter for clogs, and verify that the primer bulb isn't damaged.
Clean the air filter after every 5 hours of use to keep the engine running efficiently. Use warm soapy water to clean it, let it dry, and apply a few drops of oil before reinstalling.
Excessive vibration may be due to a damaged trimmer head, unbalanced line, or loose parts. Inspect the trimmer head and line for damage, and ensure all screws and bolts are tightened.
To store the trimmer for winter, run the engine until it stops to empty the fuel system, clean the unit thoroughly, and store it in a dry, safe place. Consider adding a fuel stabilizer if storing fuel in the tank.
Regular maintenance includes checking and cleaning the air filter, inspecting the spark plug, checking the fuel line for leaks, and cleaning the trimmer head. Ensure these are done every 10 hours of operation.
Yes, other brands of trimmer line can be used, but ensure they match the recommended diameter and type specified for the Poulan Pro P2500 to avoid performance issues.
To adjust the idle speed, locate the idle speed screw on the carburetor and turn it clockwise to increase speed or counterclockwise to decrease speed until the engine runs smoothly without the head moving.
