Starting Warm Engine
The starting procedure is the same as Cold Start except DO
NOT close the choke.
The blades must not move at idle, otherwise serious
personal injury may result. Periodic carburetor adjustment
may be necessary to assure blades do not move at idle. If
blades move, readjust carburetor according to “Carburetor
Adjustment” instructions in this manual or see your ECHO
Dealer.
1. Stop Switch
Move stop switch (A) away from the STOP position.
2. Purge Bulb
Pump purge bulb (C) until fuel is visible and flows freely in the
clear fuel tank return line. Pump bulb an additional 4 or 5
times.
3. Recoil Starter
Place the unit on a flat, clear area. Grip the front handle
securely with one hand, and pull the recoil starter handle (D)
until engine starts.
Note: If engine does not start after 5 pulls, use Cold Start
Procedure.
Stopping Engine
1. Throttle
Release throttle and allow engine to return to idle before
shutting off engine.

Move stop switch (A) to STOP position.
If engine does not stop when stop switch is moved to STOP
