MAINTENANCE PB-580 H/T
Carburetor Adjustment
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.
If the engine is adjusted for operation above 1,100 feet ASL, the carburetor must be re-adjusted when
operating the engine below 1,100 feet ASL, otherwise severe engine damage may result.
Level 2.
Note: Every unit is run at the factory and the carburetor is set in compliance with emission regulations.
Carburetor adjustments, other than idle speed, must be performed by an authorized ECHO dealer.
Idle Adjustment
Before adjustment make sure that:
• Air filter is clean and properly installed.
• Spark arrestor screen and muffler are free of carbon.
• Blower pipes are installed.
1. Start engine, run at idle for one minute.
2. Complete warm up by running at full throttle for 5 minutes,
operating choke twice to clear air from carburetor chambers.
3. Check idle speed and reset if necessary. If a tachometer is
available, idle speed screw (A) should be set to the
specifications found on “Specifications” Page of this manual.
Turn idle screw (A) clockwise to increase idle speed; counter
clockwise to decrease idle speed.
