unit achieve that goal. If you are unsure or are not equipped with the necessary tools, you may want to take your unit to
an ECHO Service Dealer for maintenance.  To help you decide whether you want to DO-IT-YOURSELF or have the ECHO
Dealer do it, each maintenance task has been graded. If the task is not listed, see your ECHO Dealer for repairs.
