performance, or severe engine damage and void the product warranty. Read and follow instructions in the Storage
section of this manual.
FUEL
WARNING
Alternative fuels, such as E-20 (20% 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.
Two Stroke Oil - A two-stroke engine oil meeting ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and J.A.S.O. FC/FD Standards must be
used. Echo brand premium Power Blend X
TM
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. FC/FD certified oil, such as
Echo premium Power Blend X
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 X
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.
