Engine Break-In

New engines must be operated a minimum duration of two tanks of fuel 

break-in before carburetor adjustments can be made. During the break-

in period your engine performance will increase and exhaust emissions 

will stabilize. Idle speed can be adjusted as required.

High Altitude Operation

This engine has been factory adjusted to maintain satisfactory starting, 

emission, and durability performance up to 1,100 feet mean sea level 

(MSL) (96.0 kPa and below). To maintain proper engine operation and 

emission compliance above 1,100 feet MSL the carburetor may need to 

be adjusted by an authorized ECHO service dealer.

IMPORTANT 

If the engine is adjusted for operation 

above

 1,100 feet MSL, the 

carburetor must be re-adjusted when operating the engine 

below

1,100 feet MSL, otherwise severe engine damage can result.
