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.
After refueling;
• Wipe any spilled fuel from the unit.
• Move at least 3 m (10 ft.) from refueling location before starting the
engine.
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 precaution, store fuel in an approved,
air tight container. Store in a well ventilated, unoccupied building,
away from sparks and flames. Do not store fuel longer than 30 days.
IMPORTANT
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.
IMPORTANT
Stored two-stroke fuel may separate. ALWAYS shake fuel
container thoroughly before each use.
