Mixing Instructions

1. Fill an approved fuel container with half of the required amount of

gasoline.

2. Add the proper amount of 2-stroke oil to gasoline.

3. Close container and shake to mix oil with gasoline.

4. Add remaining gasoline,  close fuel container, and remix.

IMPORTANT
Spilled fuel is a leading cause of hydrocarbon emissions. Some
states may require the use of automatic fuel shut-off containers to
reduce fuel spillage.

After use
• DO NOT store a unit with fuel in its tank. Leaks can occur. Return

unused fuel to an approved fuel storage container.

Two Stroke Oil - A two-stroke engine oil meeting ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and J.A.S.O. FC/FD Standards must be used.
Echo brand premium Power Blend X 

TM

 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 J.A.S.O. FC/FD certified oil, such as Echo premium
Power Blend X 

TM

, will void the two-stroke engine warranty.  (Emission related parts only are covered for two years,

regardless of two-stroke oil used, per the statement listed in the Emission Defect Warranty Explanation.)

IMPORTANT
Echo premium Power Blend X 

TM

 Universal 2-Stroke Oil may be

mixed at 50:1 ratio for application in all Echo engines sold in the
past regardless of ratio specified in those manuals.

Handling Fuel

  

 DANGER

Fuel is VERY flammable. Use extreme care when mixing, storing or
handling or serious personal injury may result.
• Use an approved fuel container.
• DO NOT smoke near fuel.
• DO NOT allow flames or sparks near fuel.
• Fuel tanks/cans may be under pressure. Always loosen fuel caps

slowly allowing pressure to equalize.

• NEVER refuel a unit when the engine is HOT or RUNNING!
• DO NOT fill fuel tanks indoors. ALWAYS fill fuel tanks outdoors

over bare ground.

• DO NOT overfill fuel tank.  Wipe up spills immediately.
• Securely tighten fuel tank cap and close fuel container after

refueling.

• Inspect for fuel leakage. If fuel leakage is found, do not start or

operate unit until leakage is repaired.

• Move at least 3m (10 ft.) from refueling location before starting

the engine.

Storage - Fuel storage laws vary by locality.
Contact your local government for the laws
affecting your area. As a precaution, store
fuel in an approved, airtight container. Store
in a well-ventilated, unoccupied building,
away from sparks and flames.

IMPORTANT
Stored fuel ages. Do not mix more fuel
than you expect to use in thirty (30)
days, ninety (90) days when a fuel
stabilizer is added.

IMPORTANT
Stored two-stroke fuel may separate.
ALWAYS shake fuel container
thoroughly before each use.
