How do I start it
To start the Poulan Pro XT PXT12530:
1. Move the throttle control to the choke position.
2. Insert the key into the ignition.
3. Turn the key clockwise to the "START" position and release it as soon as the engine starts. Do not run the starter for more than 15 seconds per minute.
4. If the engine does not start:
