Echo SRM series

ENGLISH
The “STOP” switch stops the unit by grounding the ignition and preventing the
spark plug from discharging a spark. If the STOP switch malfunctions and
does not stop the unit when required, use the choke to stall the engine to a
stop, and have your dealer repair the switch before using the unit again.
Use this “Emergency” Stopping sequence only if
the STOP switch malfunctions:
• Release trigger and allow engine to return
to idle, and wait for cutting head/work
attachment to stop.
• After the engine has returned to idle and
cutting attachment has stopped, place
the unit on a safe, at surface, clear of
obstructions.
• Keep one hand on the throttle control handle
assembly to maintain control of the unit, and
move the choke control lever to the closed,
“COLD START” (
) position to stall the
engine.
• Hold the unit with a secure, two-handed grip,
and wait for the engine to stall to a complete
stop.
• After the engine stops, disconnect the spark
plug lead, and tag the unit to identify it as
having a broken STOP
switch.
• Do not restart the unit.
Have the unit repaired
before using it again.
