Fuel Requirements
Gasoline - Use 89 Octane [(R+M)/2] 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.
Two-Stroke Oil - Two Stroke Oil - A two-stroke engine
oil meeting ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and J.A.S.O. FC
Standards, must be used. Echo brand Premium 50:1 oil
meets these standards. Engine problems due to inad-
equate lubrication caused by failure to use an ISO-L-EGD
and J.A.S.O. FC certified oil, such as Echo Premium 50:1
Two-stroke Oil, will void the two-stroke engine warranty.
(Emission related parts only are covered for two years,
regardless of two-stroke oil used, per the statement listed
in the Emission Defect Warranty Explanation.)
IMPORTANT
Echo Premium 2-Stroke Oil may be mixed at 50:1 ratio
for application in all Echo engines sold in the past
regardless of ratio specified in those manuals.

Fill an approved fuel container with half of the
required amount of gasoline.

Add 2-stroke oil to gasoline.
3.
Close container and shake to mix oil with gasoline.

Handling Fuel
WARNING
Fuel is VERY flammable. 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 flames 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 fill fuel tanks indoors. ALWAYS fill fuel
tanks outdoors over bare ground.
• Securely tighten fuel cap after refueling.
• Inspect for fuel leakage. If fuel leakage is found, do
not start or operate unit until leakage is repaired.
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. Contact your ECHO dealer for ordering
information.
