Poulan Pro PT7000 Operator's Manual

To start the Poulan Pro PT7000 Trimmer, ensure it is on a flat surface. Prime the engine by pressing the primer bulb 5-6 times, ensuring you see fuel in the bulb. Move the choke lever to the choke position, pull the starter rope until the engine attempts to start, then move the choke to the run position and pull again until it starts.
The proper fuel mixture for the Poulan Pro PT7000 Trimmer is a 40:1 ratio of unleaded gasoline to 2-cycle engine oil. Always use fresh gasoline and a high-quality 2-cycle oil.
To replace the trimmer line, first turn off the trimmer and disconnect the spark plug. Remove the spool by pressing the tabs on the side of the spool cover. Cut two lengths of line, insert them into the spool slots, and wind the line tightly in the direction indicated. Reattach the spool and cover.
If the trimmer won't start, check the spark plug for wear or damage, and ensure it is properly gapped. Verify that the fuel is fresh and the air filter is clean. Inspect the fuel line for clogs or damage.
The air filter should be checked and cleaned after every 5 hours of operation. Replace it if it appears damaged or excessively dirty. Use warm, soapy water to clean, rinse well, and let it air dry.
If the trimmer line breaks frequently, ensure you are using the correct line diameter (typically 0.095 inches). Avoid hitting hard surfaces and objects, and make sure the line is wound correctly in the spool.
To adjust the idle speed, locate the idle speed screw on the carburetor. Turn the screw clockwise to increase idle speed or counterclockwise to decrease it. Adjust until the engine runs smoothly without the trimmer head rotating.
After each use, clean the trimmer to remove grass and debris. Inspect for any loose or damaged parts, and check the air filter. Ensure the fuel tank is clean and the spark arrestor is free from soot.
Regular maintenance is key to extending the life of your trimmer. Use fresh fuel, clean or replace the air filter regularly, inspect and replace the spark plug annually, and store the trimmer in a dry place.
Excessive vibration may be caused by a damaged or unbalanced trimmer head, loose parts, or a bent shaft. Inspect the trimmer head for damage and ensure all parts are tight. If the issue persists, contact a professional technician.
