poulan is an ok machine. it's a step above the weedeater brand but not to the quality of Stihl or Husqvarna
The manual can be found at the link below.
Some are, some aren't. A lot of Husqvarna products are sold as badge engineered items, as well (Craftsman, American Yard Products, Yard Pro, WeedEater, McCulloch, etc.).
stick a flat head screw driver in the slot above head and turn counter clock wise.
From what I can discern, AYP makes Husqvarna, Craftsmen, and Poulan...pretty sure of those plus perhaps Husky and Weedeater.
They are manufatured by AYP (American Yard Products) which has long been owned by Electrolux and is now part of EHP (Electrolux Home Products) which also includes Husqvarna, Poulan, WeedEater, McCulloch, Partner, Target, etc. It is now managed by Husqvarna.
i need to replace the flex shaft in my weedeater. how do i do it?
Lubricant typeHusqvarna or equiv. at 50:1 Right off the web site I use husky oil
On most of them you hold the top part with one hand and turn the bummer/spool clockwise (looking from the top)and pull it straight down/outward
pop the spool out wind string in direction of arrow, replace
It depends on your model. You can visit the PIVOTRIM website and they show how to install their head on most units which includes how to take your old one off. Their website is http://www.pivotrim.com Otherwise you need to look at your operators manual or call the manufacturer. Good Luck!
