The ECHO product you purchased has been partially assembled for your convenience. Due to packaging restrictions, 
installation of the plastic debris shield, nylon line head, and positioning of the front handle are necessary.
After opening the carton, check for damage.  Immediately notify your retailer or ECHO Dealer of damaged or missing 
parts.  Use the contents list to check for missing parts.
* Some Echo units may be factory pre-assembled.  The nylon line head, plastic debris shield, and mounting hardware 
shown in the contents list are pre-assembled to the unit. Assembly tools are not supplied with these units. The front 
handle may need to be re-positioned for comfortable operation.
