Maintenance and care
Cooling system maintenance
 To maintain proper engine operating temperature, cooling air must pass freely through the cylinder fin area. This
flow of air carries combustion heat away from the engine. Overheating and engine seizure can occur when:
 Air intakes are blocked, preventing cooling air from reaching the cylinder.
 Dust and grass build up on the outside of the cylinder. This build-up insulates the engine and prevents the heat
from leaving.
Removal of cooling passage blockages or cleaning of cylinder fins is considered "Normal Maintenance". Any resultant failure
attributed to lack of maintenance is not warranted.
Cleaning silencer
Cylinder exhaust port
Check fuel system
IMPORTANT
Air intake
 Remove dust and dirt from between fins (A).
 Before each use, remove accumulated debris from bottom en-
gine intake grille located between the fuel tank and starter.
 Carbon deposits in silencer (A) will cause a drop in engine out-
put and overheating. Spark arrestor screen must be checked
periodically. Clean deposits from silencer.
IMPORTANT
Do not remove the silencer cover. If necessary, Please consult
your dealer.
IMPORTANT
 The cylinder exhaust port must be inspected and cleaned of
excess carbon every 3 months or 90 hours of operation in
order to maintain this engine within the emissions durability
period. ECHO strongly recommends that you return your
unit to your ECHO dealer for this important maintenance
service.
 Check before every use.
 After refuelling, make sure fuel does not leak or exude from
around fuel pipe (A), fuel grommet (B) or fuel tank cap (C).
 In case of fuel leakage or exudation, there is a danger of fire.
Stop using the machine immediately and request your dealer
to inspect or replace.
