Operation of this equipment may create sparks that can start
fires around dry vegetation. This unit is equipped with a spark
arrestor to prevent discharge of hot particles from the engine.
Metal cutters can also 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
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 containing more than 25% ethanol is NOT approved for use
in ECHO 2-stroke gasoline engines. Fuel containing more than
25% ethanol may cause performance problems, loss of power,
overheating, fuel vapor lock, and unintended machine
operation, including, but not limited to, improper clutch
engagement. Fuel containing more than 25% ethanol may also
cause premature deterioration of fuel lines, gaskets,
carburetors and other engine components.
Fuel Requirements
Gasoline
