MAINTENANCE
WARNING
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. Allow unit to cool before performing
service. Wear gloves to protect hands from sharp edges and hot surfaces.
Your ECHO trimmer is designed to provide many hours of trouble free service. Regular scheduled maintenance will
help your trimmer 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.
