Fuel - Echo 02999999 Operator's Manual

Use Shoulder/Waist Harness (P/N 99944200200) 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 operators hands and feet by restricting trimmer
movement.

FUEL

Fuel Requirements
Gasoline - Use 89 Octane [
gasohol known to be good quality. Gasohol may contain up to 10%
Ethyl (grain) alcohol or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary-butyl ether).
Gasohol containing methyl (wood) alcohol is NOT approved.
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 inadequate
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 California Emission Defect Warranty Explanation.)V
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.

gasoline.
