Burn Hazard

The muffler or catalytic muffler and surrounding cover 
may become extremely hot. Always keep clear of 
exhaust and muffler area, otherwise serious personal 
injury may occur.

The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals 
known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, 
or other reproductive harm.

Users of this equipment risk injury to themselves and 
others if the unit is used improperly and/or safety 
precautions are not followed. Echo provides an 
operator’s manual and a safety manual. Both must be 

read and understood for proper and safe operation. Failure to do 
so could result in serious injury.
