ATTENTION TWO-STROKE ENGINE POWER PRODUCT OWNERS

performance. To help ensure the performance of the unit, it is required to use two-stroke oil which meets the ISO-L-EGD Standard per ISO/CD

ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and JASO M345/FC/FD Standards. The use of two-stroke oils designed for other applications, such as for outboard
motors or lawnmowers can result in severe engine damage, and will void your two-stroke engine limited warranty.

FD registered oil, will void the two-stroke engine limited warranty. ECHO Power Blend™ Two-Stroke Oil meets the ISO-L-EGD and JASO

oil used, per the statement listed in the EPA or California Emission Defect Warranty Explanation.
