*ANSI standards require brushcutters be equipped with a support handle
with barrier bar or restrictive harness. U-Handle ensures a higher safety
factor.
** Grass trimmers do not require a harness if dry weight is below 6.0 kg
(13.2 lb). For grass trimmers having a dry weight of 6.0 kg (13.2 lb) to 7.5 kg
(16.5 lb), a single-shoulder harness is required. A harness may be used as
outlined in the Operator's Manual.
*** Brushcutters require at least a single shoulder harness if the dry weight
is below 7.5 kg (16.5 lb).
Do not install blades on GT (Curved Shaft) model trimmers.
• Use only ECHO approved parts. Failure to use the correct parts can
cause the blade to fly off. Serious injury to the operator and/or bystanders
can occur.
• Arbor diameter of upper blade plate must match arbor diameter of blades.
• For barrier bar or U-handle, follow instructions supplied with either blade
conversion kit or U-handle kit, and verify blade is secured properly.
• A new cotter pin is required each time a blade is installed.
• Shoulder harnesses may be used on all trimmers and brushcutters to
reduce operator fatigue. Brushcutters over 7.5 kg (16.5 lbs.) and U-
handle brushcutters require a double shoulder harness.
Note: The barrier bar is used to restrict rearward movement of the
unit. The barrier bar is not a handle and should not be
gripped when using or carrying the unit.
