NOTICE: Use of unmixed, improperly mixed, or fuel older than 90 days, (stale fuel), may cause hard starting, poor performance,

or severe engine damage and void the product warranty. Read and follow instructions in the Storage

section of this manual.

WARNING

Alternative fuels, such as E-15 (15% ethanol), E-85 (85% ethanol) or any fuels not meeting ECHO requirements

are NOT approved for use in ECHO 2-stroke gasoline engines. Use of alternative fuels may cause performance

problems, loss of power, overheating, fuel vapor lock, and unintended machine operation, including, but not limited

to, improper clutch engagement. Alternative fuels may also cause premature deterioration of fuel lines, gaskets,

carburetors and other engine components.

Fuel Requirements

Gasoline - Use 89 Octane [R+M/2] (mid grade or higher) gasoline known to be good quality. Gasoline may contain up

to 10% Ethanol (grain alcohol) or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary-butyl ether). Gasoline containing methanol (wood alco-

hol) is NOT approved.

inadequate lubrication caused by failure to use an ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and J.A.S.O. FC/FD certied oil, such as

gines sold in the past regardless of ratio specied in those manuals.
