The starting procedure is the same as Cold Start except DO 
NOT close the choke, and do not hold throttle trigger fully 
depressed.
The attachment should not move at idle, otherwise serious 
personal injury may result.

“Carburetor Adjustment” instructions in this manual or 
see your ECHO Dealer.
1. Stop Switch
Move stop switch button (A) forward away from the STOP 
position.

Pump purge bulb (C) until fuel is visible in the “Clear” fuel 
return line. Pump bulb an additional 4 or 5 times.

Lay the unit on a flat area and keep movable attachment parts 
clear of all obstacles. Firmly grip throttle handle and throttle 
trigger lockout with left hand. Rapidly pull recoil starter 
handle/rope (D) until engine fires.

before shutting off engine.
