Mixing Instructions
1. Fill an approved fuel container with half

of the required amount of gasoline.

2. Add the proper amount of 2-stroke oil to

gasoline.

3. Close container and shake to mix oil with

gasoline.

4. Add remaining gasoline,  close fuel

container, and remix.

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.

After use
• DO NOT store a unit with fuel in its

tank. Leaks can occur. Return unused
fuel to an approved fuel storage
container.

Storage - Fuel storage laws vary by locality.
Contact your local government for the laws
affecting your area. As a precaution, store
fuel in an approved, airtight container. Store
in a well-ventilated, unoccupied building,
away from sparks and flames.

IMPORTANT
Stored fuel ages. Do not mix more fuel
than you expect to use in thirty (30)
days, ninety (90) days when a fuel
stabilizer is added.

IMPORTANT
Stored two-stroke fuel may separate.
ALWAYS shake fuel container
thoroughly before each use.

PERATION

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

Fuel Requirements

Gasoline - Use 89 Octane [R+M/2] (mid grade or higher) gasoline
known to be good quality. Gasoline may contain up to 15% MTBE
(methyl tertiary-butyl ether). Gasohol containing methyl (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 Standards must be used. Echo brand premium
Power Blend 

TM

 Universal 2-Stroke Oil meets these standards. Engine

problems due to inadequate lubrication caused by failure to use an
ISO-L-EGD and J.A.S.O. FC certified oil, such as Echo premium Power
Blend 

TM

, will void the two-stroke engine warranty.  (Emission related

parts only are covered for two years, regardless of two-stroke oil used,
per the statement listed in the Emission Defect Warranty Explanation.)

IMPORTANT
Echo premium Power Blend 

TM

 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

WARNING  

 DANGER

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.
• DO NOT allow flames or sparks near fuel.
• Fuel tanks/cans may be under pressure. Always loosen fuel caps

slowly allowing pressure to equalize.

• NEVER refuel a unit when the engine is HOT or RUNNING!
• DO NOT fill fuel tanks indoors. ALWAYS fill fuel tanks outdoors

over bare ground.

• DO NOT overfill fuel tank.  Wipe up spills immediately.
• Securely tighten fuel tank cap and close fuel container after

refueling.

• Inspect for fuel leakage. If fuel leakage is found, do not start or

operate unit until leakage is repaired.

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

the engine.
