Poulan 1600 - Manual (Page 11)

D. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Bring the engine to cutting speed before entering the
materiai to be cut.
a. Do not run the engine at a higher speed than
necessary. The cutting line will cut efficiently when
the engine is run at less than full throttle. At lower
speeds, there is less engine noise and vibration. The
trimmer line will last longer and will be less likely
to “weld” on the spool.
b. If the Trimmer Head does not turn when the
engine is accelerated, make sure the Drive Shaft
Housing is properly seated in the Engine Shroud.
Refer to “Assembly-Drive Shaft Housing
2. Always release the Throttle Trigger and allow the
engine to return to idle speed when not cutting.
3. Make sure the Trimmer Head stops turning when
the Throttle Trigger is released and the engine runs
at idle speed.
For correction, refer to “Carburetor
Adjustments.”
4. To stop the engine:
a. Release the Throttle Trigger.
b. Push “Off” Button. Hold button down until the
engine stops. Figure 9.
