Carburetor Adjustment
Level 2.
When carburetor adjustment is completed, the cutting attach-
ment should not move at idle, otherwise serious personal injury
may result.
If the engine is adjusted for operation above 1,100 feet ASL, the car-
buretor must be re-adjusted when operating the engine below 1,100
feet ASL, otherwise severe engine damage may result.
Engine Break-In
New engines must be operated a minimum duration of two tanks of fuel
break-in before carburetor adjustments can be made. During the break-in
period your engine performance will increase and exhaust emissions will
stabilize. Idle speed can be adjusted as required.
High Altitude Operation
This engine has been factory adjusted to maintain satisfactory starting,
emission, and durability performance up to 1,100 feet above sea level (ASL)
(96.0 kPa). To maintain proper engine operation and emission compliance
above 1,100 feet ASL the carburetor may
need to be adjusted by an
authorized ECHO service dealer.
