*ANSI standards require brush cutters be equipped with a barrier bar or
restrictive harness. U-Handle ensures a higher safety factor.
Do Not install blades on GT (Curved Shaft) model trimmers.
• Use only ECHO approved parts. Failure to use the correct parts can
cause the blade to fly off. Seriously injury to the operator and / or
bystanders can occur.
• Arbor diameter of upper blade plate must match arbor diameter of blades.
• For barrier bar or u-handle, follow instructions supplied with either blade
conversion kit or U-handle kit, and verify blade is secured properly.
• A new cotter pin is required each time a blade is installed.
• Shoulder harnesses may be used on all trimmers and brushcutters to
reduce operator fatigue. Brushcutters over 7.5 kg (16.5 lbs.) dry weight
(without fuel) and u- handle brushcutters REQUIRE a double shoulder
harness.
Note: The barrier bar is used to restrict rearward movement
of the unit. The barrier bar is not a handle and should
not be gripped when using or carrying the unit.
