FUEL STATEMENT
GASOLINE - Use 89 Octane [R+M/2] (mid grade or higher)
gasoline or gasohol known to be good quality. Gasohol may
contain up to 10% Ethyl (grain) alcohol or 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 Explana-
tion.)
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 and remix.
5. Install fuel container cap and wipe any spilled fuel from
container and surrounding area.
IMPORTANT
Stored fuel ages. Do not mix more fuel than you expect to
use in thirty (30) days, ninety (90) days when a fuel stabi-
lizer is added.
Stored two-stroke fuel may separate. ALWAYS shake fuel
container thoroughly before each use.
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. Contact your ECHO
dealer for ordering information.
CHAIN LUBRICANT
Proper lubrication of the chain while in operation reduces friction
between the chain and the guide bar to a minimum and assures
a longer service life.
• use bar and chain oil of high quality for this purpose.
• Do not use used or reclaimed oil to avoid various oiler
problems.
• Use ECHO bar and chain oil.
• When ECHO bar and chain oil is not available:
Use motor oil, etc.
• Use bar and chain oil of the following grades:
SAE NO. 30 ..... in summer
SAE NO. 10 ..... in winter or when cutting resinous trees.
• When refueling, also refill chain oil.
