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.

outdoors over bare ground.

• Securely tighten fuel cap after refueling.

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. Contact your ECHO dealer for ordering

information.

After Refueling;

• Wipe any spilled fuel from the unit.

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