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 support handle
securely with right hand, and pull the recoil starter handle (D)
with left hand until engine fires.

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.

2. Stop Switch

Move stop switch (A) to STOP position.

If engine does not stop when stop switch is moved to STOP
position, close choke - COLD START position - to stall engine. Have your ECHO dealer repair stop
switch before using trimmer again.
