MAINTENANCE
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 the task is not listed, see your ECHO Dealer for repairs.
SKILL LEVELS
Level 1 = Easy to do. Most required tools come with unit.
Level 2 = Moderate difficulty. Some specialized tools may be required.
Level 3 = Experience required. Specialized tools are required.
ECHO offers REPOWER
TM
Maintenance Kits and Parts to make your maintenance job easier. Below each task heading
are listed the various part numbers required for that task. See your ECHO dealer for these parts.
