Fuel Requirements
Gasoline - Use 89 Octane [ ] (mid grade or higher) gasoline
known to be good quality. Gasoline may contain up to 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 EPA Phase I/
California 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.
Mixing Instructions
1. Fill an approved fuel container with half of the required amount
of gasoline.
2. Add 2-stroke oil to gasoline.
3. Close container and shake to mix oil with gasoline.
4. Add remaining gasoline and remix.
5. Install fuel container cap and wipe any spilled fuel from con-
tainer and surrounding area.
