Why is my Poulan Pro Lawn Mower hard to start?
- M
  Megan JacksonAug 21, 2025
  If your Poulan Pro Lawn Mower is hard to start, consider these possible causes: a dirty air filter (clean or replace it), a bad spark plug (replace it), a weak or dead battery (recharge or replace it), a dirty fuel filter (replace it), or stale or dirty fuel (drain the fuel tank and refill with fresh gasoline). Also, check for loose or damaged wiring. If the carburetor is out of adjustment, see “To Adjust Carburetor” in the Service Adjustments section. For engine valves out of adjustment, contact an authorized service center/department.

  If your Poulan Pro Lawn Mower engine won't turn over, make sure the brake pedal is depressed and the attachment clutch is disengaged. A weak or dead battery could also be the issue, so recharge or replace it. Check for a blown fuse and replace it if necessary. Clean any corroded battery terminals. Inspect for loose or damaged wiring. Check or replace the ignition switch, solenoid, or starter if faulty. For faulty operator presence switch(es), contact an authorized service center/department.

Why Poulan Pro PDGT26H48A blades will not rotate?
- M
  Miranda BrownAug 28, 2025
  If the blades on your Poulan Pro Lawn Mower won't rotate, check for an obstruction in the clutch mechanism and remove it. A worn or damaged mower drive belt will also prevent rotation and should be replaced. Other potential causes include a frozen idler pulley or a frozen blade mandrel, both of which would need to be replaced.

How to fix poor and uneven cut with Poulan Pro PDGT26H48A Lawn Mower?
- D
  David PruittSep 1, 2025
  An uneven cut with your Poulan Pro Lawn Mower can be due to several reasons. A worn, bent, or loose blade is a common cause; replace the blade and tighten the blade bolt. Ensure the mower deck is level. Buildup of grass, leaves, and trash under the mower can also affect the cut, so clean the underside of the mower housing. A bent blade mandrel should be replaced. Additionally, check for clogged mower deck vent holes and clean around the mandrels to open them.

  If your Poulan Pro Lawn Mower battery won't charge, it could be due to bad battery cells, in which case you should replace the battery.

Why are the headlights not working on my Poulan Pro PDGT26H48A Lawn Mower?
- M
  Michael PerkinsSep 8, 2025
  If the headlights on your Poulan Pro Lawn Mower aren't working, first check if the switch is turned “OFF” and turn it “ON”. If that's not the problem, the bulb(s) or lamp(s) might be burned out, so replace them. A faulty light switch could also be the cause, so check or replace it. Inspect the wiring and connections for any looseness or damage. Finally, check for a blown fuse and replace it if necessary.

Why am I experiencing a loss of drive on my Poulan Pro Lawn Mower?
- L
  lewisjenniferSep 12, 2025
  If you're experiencing a loss of drive on your Poulan Pro Lawn Mower, first check if the freewheel control is in the “disengaged” position and place it in the “engaged” position. A worn, damaged, or broken motion drive belt can also cause this issue, so replace the belt. Additionally, air trapped in the transmission during shipment or servicing may be the cause; in this case, purge the transmission.
