SAFETY NOTICE: Exposure to vibrations through prolonged use of gasoline powered

hand tools could cause blood vessel or nerve damage in the fingers, hands, and joints of people prone to circulation disorders or abnormal swelling. Prolonged use in cold weather has been linked to blood vessel damage in otherwise healthy people. If symptoms occur such as numbness, pain, loss of strength, change in skin color or texture, or

loss of feeling in the fingers, hands, or joints, discontinue the use of this tool and seek medical attention. An anti vibration system does not guarantee the avoidance of these problems. Users who operate power tools on a continual and regular basis must monitor closely their physical condition and the condition of this tool.

SPECIAL NOTICE: This unit is equipped

with a temperature limiting muffler and spark arresting screen which meets the requirements of California Codes 4442 and 4443. All

U.S. forest land and the states of California, Idaho, Maine, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oregon, and Washington require by law that many internal combustion engines be equipped with a spark arresting screen. If you operate in a locale where such regulations exist, you are legally responsible for maintaining the operating condition of these parts. Failure to do so is a violation of the law. For normal homeowner use, the muffler and spark arresting screen will not require any service. After 50 hours of use, we recommend that your muffler be serviced or replaced by an authorized service dealer.

SERVICE

WARNING: Ensure ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position and disconnect the spark plug before performing maintenance except for carburetor adjustments.

HELPFUL TIP

IMPORTANT: Have all repairs other than the recommended maintenance described in the instruction manual performed by an authorized service dealer.

If any dealer other than an authorized service dealer performs work on the product, Poulan PRO may not pay for repairs under warranty. It is your responsibility to maintain and perform general maintenance.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

The warranty on this unit does not cover items that have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive full value from the warranty, the operator must maintain unit as instructed in this manual. Various adjustments will need to be made periodically to properly maintain your unit.

CHECK FOR LOOSE FASTENERS AND PARTS

•Spark Plug Boot

•Air Filter

•Housing Screws

CHECK FOR DAMAGED OR WORN PARTS

Contact an authorized service dealer for replacement of damaged or worn parts.

•ON/OFF Switch -- Ensure ON/OFF switch functions properly by moving the switch to the OFF position. Make sure engine stops; then restart engine and continue.

•Fuel Tank -- Do not use unit if fuel tank shows signs of damage or leaks.

•Gearbox -- Do not use if the gearbox shows signs of damage or leaks. After 50 hours of use, we recommend that your gearbox be serviced by an authorized service dealer.

INSPECT AND CLEAN UNIT AND LABELS

•Wipe off unit with a clean dry cloth.

CLEAN AIR FILTER

Air Filter

Cover

Air Filter

-- 6 --

Cleaning the air filter:

A dirty air filter decreases engine performance and increases fuel consumption and harmful emissions. Always clean after every 5 hours of operation.

1.Clean the cover and the area around it to keep debris from falling into the carburetor chamber when the cover is removed.

2.Remove parts as illustrated.

NOTE: Do not clean filter in gasoline or other

flammable solvent. Doing so can create a fire hazard or produce harmful evaporative emissions.

3.Wash the filter in soap and water.

4.Allow filter to dry.

5.Add a few drops of oil to the filter; squeeze filter to distribute oil.

6.Replace parts.

INSPECT MUFFLER AND SPARK ARRESTING SCREEN

WARNING: The muffler on this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer.

As your unit is used, carbon deposits build up on the muffler and spark arresting screen. For normal homeowner use, however, the muffler and spark arresting screen will not require any service. After 50 hours of use, we recommend that your muffler be serviced or replaced by your authorized service dealer.

CARBURETOR IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT

WARNING: Keep others away when making idle speed adjustments. The blade will be moving during most of this procedure. Wear your protective equipment and observe all safety precautions. When making adjustments, use a screwdriver short enough to keep your hands behind the handguard and away from the blade. After making adjustments, the blade must not move at idle speed. The carburetor has been carefully set at the factory. Adjustments may be necessary if you notice any of the following conditions:

•Engine will not idle when the throttle is released.

•The blade moves at idle.

Keep others away when making idle speed adjustments. Make adjustments with the unit resting on a level surface free of debris that can be caught in the hedge trimmer blade. Serious injury to the operator and others can occur if the carburetor is not properly adjusted. Keep all parts of your body away from the blade and

muffler.

To adjust idle speed:

Allow engine to idle. Adjust speed until engine runs without blade moving (idle too fast) or engine stalling (idle speed too slow).

•Turn idle speed screw clockwise to increase engine speed if engine stalls or dies.

•Turn idle speed screw counterclockwise to decrease engine speed if the blade moves at idle.

WARNING: Recheck the idle speed after each adjustment. The blade must not move at idle speed to avoid serious injury to the operator or others.
