WARNING

Moving parts can amputate fingers or cause severe injuries. Keep hands, clothing and loose objects away from all

openings. Always stop engine, disconnect spark plug, and make sure all moving parts have come to a complete stop

before removing obstructions, clearing debris, or servicing unit. Blower housing may contain shredder blades and

other sharp edges that can cause serious injuries if touched, even if engine is off and blades are not moving. Wear

gloves to protect hands from sharp edges and hot surfaces.

fuel

NOTICE:

Use of unmixed, improperly mixed, or fuel older than 90 days, (stale fuel), may cause hard starting, poor

performance, or severe engine damage and void the product warranty. Read and follow instructions in the Storage

section of this manual.

WARNING

Alternative fuels, such as E-20 (20% ethanol), E-85 (85% ethanol) or any fuels not meeting ECHO requirements are

NOT

approved for use in ECHO 2-stroke gasoline engines. Use of alternative fuels may cause performance prob

lems, loss of power, overheating, fuel vapor lock, and unintended machine operation, including, but not limited to,

improper clutch engagement. Alternative fuels may also cause premature deterioration of fuel lines, gaskets, carbu-

retors and other engine components.

Fuel Requirements

Gasoline -

Use 89 Octane [R+M/2] (mid grade or higher) gasoline known to be good quality. Gasoline may contain up to

10% Ethanol (grain alcohol) or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary-butyl ether). Gasoline containing methanol (wood alcohol)

NOT

approved.

Two Stroke Oil -

A two-stroke engine oil meeting ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and JASO M345/

FC/FD Standards

must be used. ECHO brand premium Power Blend X

Universal 2-Stroke Oil meets these standards. Engine problems

due to inadequate lubrication caused by failure to use an ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and JASO M345/

FC/FD

certified

oil, such as ECHO premium Power Blend X

, will void the two-stroke engine warranty.

IMPORTANT

Echo premium Power Blend X

Universal 2-Stroke Oil may be mixed at 50:1 ratio for application in all Echo en

gines sold in the past regardless of ratio specified in those manuals.
