 WARNING
Moving parts can amputate ngers 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 unit is designed to provide many hours of trouble-free service. Regular scheduled maintenance will help 
your unit 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-YOURSELF or have 
the ECHO Dealer do it, each maintenance task has been graded. If a task is not listed, see your ECHO Dealer for repairs.
