FUEL
Fuel Requirements
Gasoline - Use 89 Octane [ ] (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 Standard
(ISO/CD 13738), must be used. Echo brand Premium 50:1 oil meets this
standard. Engine problems due to inadequate lubrication caused by
failure to use an ISO-L-EGD approved oil, such as Echo Premium 50:1
Two-stroke Oil, 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 California Emission Defect
Warranty Explanation.)
Mixing - Follow directions on the oil container.
Handling Fuel
WARNING DANGER
Fuel is VERY flammable. Use extreme care when mixing, storing or
handling, otherwise 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!
• NEVER refuel a unit with the engine running.
• DO NOT fill fuel tanks indoors. ALWAYS fill fuel tanks outdoors
over bare ground.
• Securely tighten fuel cap after refueling.
• Inspect for fuel leakage. If fuel leakage is found, do not start or
operate unit until leakage is repaired.
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.
