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.

FUEL

 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

problems, 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,
carburetors and other engine components.

Fuel Requirements

GGasoline - 

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) is 

NOT

 approved.

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

to inadequate lubrication caused by failure to use anSO-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.
