HANDLING FUEL
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS -
1. Fill an approved fuel container with half of the required
amount of gasoline.
2. Add the proper amount of two-stroke oil to gasoline.
3. Close container and shake to mix oil with gasoline.
4. Add remaining gasoline, close fuel container, and re-
mix.
IMPORTANT
• Spilled fuel is a leading cause of hydrocarbon
emissions. Some states may require the use of
automatic fuel shut-off containers to reduce fuel
spillage.
• Stored fuel ages.
Do not mix more fuel than you expect to use in thirty
(30) days, ninety (90) days when a fuel stabilizer is
added.
• Stored two-stroke fuel may separate. ALWAYS shake
fuel container thoroughly before each use.
AFTER USE -
DO NOT store a unit with fuel in its tank. Leaks can occur.
Return unused fuel to an approved fuel storage container.
STORAGE -
Fuel storage laws vary by locality. Contact your local
government for the laws affecting your area. As a precau-
tion, store fuel in an approved, airtight container. Store in
a well-ventilated, unoccupied building, away from sparks
and ames.
DANGER
Fuel is VERY ammable. Use extreme care when
mixing, storing or handling or serious personal
injury may result.
• Use an approved fuel container.
• DO NOT smoke near fuel.
• DO NOT allow ames or sparks near fuel.
• Fuel tanks/cans may be under pressure.
Always loosen fuel caps slowly allowing pressure
to equalize.
• NEVER refuel a unit when the engine is HOT!
• NEVER refuel a unit with the engine running.
• DO NOT ll fuel tanks indoors.
ALWAYS ll fuel tanks outdoors over bare
ground.

CHAIN LUBRICANT
Proper lubrication of the chain while in operation reduces
friction between the chain and the guide bar to a mini-
mum and assures a longer service life.
• Use bar and chain oil of high quality for this purpose.
• Do not use used or reclaimed oil to avoid various oiler
problems.
• Use ECHO bar and chain oil.
• When ECHO bar and chain oil is not available:
Use motor oil, etc.
• Use bar and chain oil of the following grades:
SAE No. 30 ....... in summer
SAE No. 10 ....... in winter or when cutting resinous
trees.
• When refueling, also rell chain oil.
