OPERATION

Moving parts can amputate fingers or cause severe injuries. Keep hands, clothing and loose objects 
away from all openings. Always stop engine, disconnect spark plug, and make sure all moving parts 
have come to a complete stop before removing obstructions, clearing debris, or servicing unit.

Operation of this equipment may create sparks that can start fires. This unit is equipped with a spark 
arrestor to prevent discharge of hot particles from the engine. Metal cutters can create sparks if the 
cutter strikes rocks, metal, or other hard objects. Contact local fire authorities for laws or 
regulations regarding fire prevention requirements.

Fuel

Alternative fuels, such as E-15 (15% 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

Gasoline

 - 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. ECHO brand Power Fuel

 is 93 octane, ethanol-free fuel 

premixed with ECHO Red Armor

®

 engine oil at 50:1 ratio. Use of ECHO Power Fuel

 is recommended to 

extend engine life in all air-cooled 2-stroke and 2/4-stroke hybrid engines.

Two Stroke Oil

 - A two-stroke engine oil meeting ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and J.A.S.O. FD Standards 

must be used. Echo brand premium Power Blend X

 Universal 2-Stroke Oil meets these standards. Engine 

problems due to inadequate lubrication caused by failure to use an ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and 
J.A.S.O. M345-FD certified oil, such as Echo premium Power Blend X

, will void the two-stroke engine 

warranty.

Echo premium Power Blend X

 Universal 2-Stroke Oil may be mixed at 50:1 ratio for application in all Echo 

engines sold in the past regardless of ratio specified in those manuals.

Handling Fuel

Fuel is VERY flammable. Use extreme care when mixing, storing or handling, or serious personal 
injury may result.

Use an approved fuel container.

DO NOT smoke near fuel.
