Poulan Pro SM705 Operator's Manual

To start the Poulan Pro SM705 Trimmer, make sure the unit is on a flat surface. Prime the engine by pressing the primer bulb six times. Set the choke lever to the full choke position, pull the starter rope until the engine attempts to start, then set the choke to half choke and pull the rope again until it starts. Once started, move the choke lever to the run position.
If your trimmer won't start, check the fuel level and quality, ensuring it's fresh and mixed correctly if it's a 2-stroke engine. Inspect the spark plug for wear or damage and replace if necessary. Make sure the air filter is clean, and inspect the fuel lines for cracks or leaks.
To replace the trimmer line, first make sure the trimmer is turned off and disconnected from the power source. Remove the spool by pressing the release tabs on the spool housing. Cut two lengths of line, approximately 10 feet each, and wind them evenly around the spool following the directional arrows. Reinstall the spool and ensure the lines are feeding through the eyelets.
The Poulan Pro SM705 Trimmer requires a mixture of unleaded gasoline and 2-cycle engine oil at a 40:1 ratio. Make sure to use fresh fuel and mix thoroughly before filling the fuel tank.
To clean the air filter, first remove the air filter cover and take out the filter. Wash it with warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and allow it to dry completely. Lightly coat the filter with 2-cycle oil before reinstalling it. Ensure the cover is securely fastened.
If the trimmer line keeps breaking, it may be due to using the incorrect line size or type. Ensure the line is the correct diameter for your trimmer. Additionally, avoid hitting hard surfaces and inspect the trimmer head for damage that may cut the line prematurely.
It is recommended to perform basic maintenance, such as cleaning the air filter and checking the spark plug, after every 10 hours of use. Additionally, inspect and clean the trimmer head, and check for any loose bolts or screws regularly.
Excessive vibration may be caused by an unbalanced trimmer head or damaged components. Check that the trimmer head is properly assembled and inspect for any signs of wear or damage. Replace any damaged parts and ensure all components are tightly secured.
The Poulan Pro SM705 Trimmer is compatible with certain attachments, such as edgers or brush cutters. Refer to your user manual for a list of compatible attachments and installation instructions.
Before storing your trimmer, empty the fuel tank and run the engine until it stops to ensure no fuel is left in the system. Clean the trimmer thoroughly, paying attention to the air filter and cutting head. Store the trimmer in a dry, cool place and cover it to protect against dust and debris.
