Your Poulan should have a green button on the side of it. Push and hold it. While most models have a green button, your may not. In that case, obtain the model number off the weedeater, go to Poulan.com/customer service and download the manual for your machine

Go to the following link where they have almost all diagrams for Poulan

Start under poulan/weedeater then choose: / poulan pro / saw / gas / then choose your model number. It will bring up a parts diagram of your chainsaw.
Add the part to the cart by changing the Qty to 1 and then add to cart. You will then see the part and the price

There are so many different Poulan Pro model numbers that I can not even begin to guess your model.

please rate this answer as very helpful. thanks Joe

Go to the Poulan web page http://www.poulanpro.com/node6556.aspx and enter the model number of the string trimmer. If the trimmer is a Weed Eater brand (owned by Poulan) then go to this page http://www.weedeater.com/node6507.aspx. I think you can also locate older model manuals in their archives.

Wanda, there are several things that could be causing your problem.

1) The belt could be worn out, remove the cover and check it
2) The drive cable could be in need of adjustment, engage it with the cover off and the engine not running it should be almost as tight as a fan belt on your car, if not try adjusting the cable
3) The drive gears inside the wheels could be worn out, remove the drive wheels and look at the drive gear teeth, excessive wear is obvious
4) Worst case scenario would be that your transmission is worn out

If all the above check out good, come back and post the model number, I will look it up and see if I can point you to any other possibilities but these are the most likely causes

if the drive cable is pulling back on the transmission and the pulley is turning but the axle isnt turning replace the tranny - no seperate parts available for tranny you must replace the entire unit
