Your ECHO tiller/cultivator is designed to provide many hours of trouble free service. Regular scheduled maintenance will
help your tiller/cultivator 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-YOUR-
SELF 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.

SKILL

 

LEVEL

Level 1 = Easy to do. Most required tools come with unit.
Level 2 = Moderate difficulty. Some specialized tools may be required.
Level 3 = Experience required. Specialized tools are required. ECHO recommends

that the unit be returned to your ECHO Dealer for service.

ECHO offers REPOWER

TM

 Maintenance Kits and Parts to make your maintenance job easier. Just below each task
