TRIMMER LINE ADVANCE The trimmer line will advance approximately 2 inches (5 cm) each time the bottom of the trimmer head is tapped on the ground with the engine running at full throttle. The most efficient line length is the maximum length allowed by the line limiter.
S Operate the engine at full throttle. S Hold the trimmer head parallel to and above the grassy area. S Tap the bottom of the trimmer head lightly on the ground one time. Approximately 2 inches (5 cm) of line will be advanced with each tap.
2. Clean entire surface of hub and spool. 3. Replace with a pre-wound spool, or cut two lengths of 12-1/2 feet of 0.080! (2 mm) di- ameter Poulan PROr brand line. WARNING: Never use wire, rope, string, etc., which can break off and become a dangerous missile.
S Engine will not idle when the throttle is released. S The trimmer head moves/spins at idle. Make adjustments with the unit supported so the cutting attachment is off the ground and will not make contact with any object. Hold the unit by hand while running and making ad- justments.
