Fuel - Echo SRM-225 Operator's Manual

SRM-225 OPERATION
Use Shoulder/Waist Harness Use of the
Shoulder/Waist Harness is recommended
for ALL Trimmer/Brush Cutter use, not just
Blade operation. The Shoulder/Waist
Harness when used in a trimming operation
with nylon line head suspends the trimmer
from the operator's shoulder and reduces
operator fatigue.
During blade operation, the same fatigue
reduction is achieved. Safety to the operator is also
enhanced by reducing the possibility of blade contact with
the operator's hands and feet by restricting trimmer
movement. For more information scan the QR code.

Fuel

Diesel fuels and 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
diesel or 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. Diesel or 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
™
alcohol) is NOT approved. ECHO brand Power Fuel is 93 octane, ethanol-free
®
fuel premixed with ECHO Red Armor engine oil at 50:1 ratio. Use of ECHO
™
Power Fuel is recommended to extend engine life in all air-cooled 2-stroke
and 2/4-stroke hybrid engines.
Two Stroke Oil - A two-stroke engine oil meeting ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738)
and J.A.S.O. FD Standards must be used. Echo brand premium Power Blend
™

inadequate lubrication caused by failure to use an ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738)
™
and J.A.S.O. M345-FD certified oil, such as Echo premium Power Blend X ,
will void the two-stroke engine warranty.
