Your ECHO attachment is designed to provide many hours of trouble free service. Regular scheduled maintenance will
help your attachment achieve that goal. If you are unsure or are not equipped with the necessary tools, you may want to
take your unit to an ECHO Service Dealer for maintenance. To help you decide whether you want to DO-IT-YOUR-
SELF or have the ECHO Dealer do it, each maintenance task has been graded. If the task is not listed see your ECHO
dealer for repairs.
