WARNING
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.
WARNING
2-Stroke engine oil contains petroleum distillates
and other additives that may be harmful if
swallowed. Heated oil can release vapors that can
cause flash fire, or ignite with explosive force. Read
and follow the oil manufacturer's instructions, and
observe all safety warnings and precautions for
handling flammable liquids. For more detailed safety
and first aid information, visit www.echo-usa.com
for a copy of the Material Safety Data Sheet.
• KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
• If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. CALL
PHYSICIAN OR A POISON CONTROL CENTER
IMMEDIATELY.
• WEAR SAFETY GLASSES when mixing or handling.
• AVOID repeated or prolonged skin contact
• AVOID inhaling oil mists or vapors.
IMPORTANT
• Echo brand 2-stroke oils may be mixed at 50:1 ratio
for application in all Echo engines sold in the past
regardless of ratio specified in those manuals.

FUEL AND LUBRICANT
FUEL STATEMENT
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 contain-
ing methanol (wood alcohol) is NOT approved. Use of
ECHO brand 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, such as ECHO
brand 2-stroke oils, meeting ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738)
and J.A.S.O. FD Standards must be used. ECHO brand
2-stroke oils meet these standards. Engine problems
due to inadequate lubrication caused by failure to use
an ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and J.A.S.O. M345-FD
certified oil will void the two-stroke engine warranty.
