300-HOUR RATED PRODUCTS
When you buy a premium brand, you expect
professional-grade performance. Is that what
you’re getting? Everybody thought EPA emission
requirements for 2005 and beyond would be
the death of 2-stroke engines…FICTION. ECHO
engines carry an ‘A’ category rating and are
certified with the EPA to their highest useful life*
rating of 300 hours…FACT. What does the label
on the other equipment in your tool trailer or
garage say? Don’t be confused by manufactur-
ers who claim to produce professional-grade
products, but rate their engines to the same 50
hours as disposable consumer products. ECHO
delivers the highest level of useful life in every
product. It’s a FACT.
Comes with a 5 year consumer warranty.
*EPA uses the term “useful life,” which is defined as “…when
engine performance deteriorates to the point where usefulness
and/or reliability is impacted to a degree sufficient to necessitate
overhaul or replacement…” (U.S. Government, Code of Federal
Regulations, Vol. 40, Chapter 1, Sec. 90.105, par. 5, §ii)
ECHO ADVANTAGES AND PRODUCT ICON EXPLANATIONS
ECHO has proven time and time again that it is the technological innovator in the outdoor power equipment industry. The following product advantages are ECHO
exclusives, and each one is designed and engineered into the most reliable and highest certified equipment available. Look for the following icons referenced on individual
models throughout the catalog.
Power Boost™ Engine Technology
Many in the industry said a
2-stroke engine couldn’t be
designed that would meet EPA
and CARB emissions standards and still provide
the performance demanded by commercial
landscapers. ECHO’s Power Boost™ Tornado
engine technology proved them wrong. With this
engine, you get tomorrow’s technology today –
without compromise. All Power Boost Tornado™
engine products are backed by the industry’s
most rock solid warranty and carry 300-hour
useful life ratings.
Rapid-Loader™
Tired of the frustration that occurs from winding
trimmer line? With Rapid-Loader™, there’s no
more mess or fuss. Just insert precut sections of
line into the trimmer head and you’re ready to
go. Rapid-Loader™ heads are available in two-
line and three-line configurations and will accept
line diameters from .095” to .130” for engine
models under 25 cc and up to .155” for engine
models over 25 cc. Available for all ECHO
Trimmers and most non-ECHO trimmers, Rapid-
Loader™ makes line changes “lightning fast!”
RazorEdge™ Hedge
Trimmer Blades
ECHO’s advantages aren’t solely related
to engine technologies. The RazorEdge™
blades are the sharpest and longest lasting
around. The blades are precision-ground
and laser cut for the ultimate sharpness
resulting in quicker, cleaner cuts. And their
sharpness will last and last well beyond
that of traditional blades.
U Turn™
The U Turn™ Trimmer Head
allows you to reload a spool
in seconds! Just insert a length of line into
the holes on the side of the spool drum
and twist the line onto the spool. One
quick snip and you’re ready to go. It’s that
simple! U Turn™ trimmer heads will fit any
ECHO SRM Series Trimmer.
G-Force Engine Air Pre-Cleaner™
The G-Force Engine Air Pre-Cleaner™ is avail-
able on select ECHO chain saws. Before enter-
ing the air filter, engine air is spun around and
around eliminating dirt and debris. This flow of
air causes cleaner air to pass through the filter
thereby increasing maintenance intervals and
creating a longer-lasting engine. A longer-lasting
engine means a longer-lasting product.
i-start™ Starting Technology
The i-start™ family of starting technologies leads
the industry in reducing starting effort. These
patented systems are available on a variety of
ECHO products. The revolutionary i-75™ system
reduces the effort normally required to pull-start
the engine by over 75%! And i-30™ starting
technology reduces starting effort by 30%. You
will appreciate the simplicity and ease of use
that i-75™ and i-30™ deliver start after start.
Power Boost Vortex™
Power Boost Vortex™ is the latest in the long line
of ECHO’s engine achievements. Unheard-of
clearance tolerances are enabled through patent-
ed machining techniques, thereby taking 2-stroke
engine design to even greater efficiency and
performance. These engines feature unsurpassed
friction reduction, unrivaled heat dissipation,
and incomparable acceleration. And, like every
2-stroke engine, a Power Boost Vortex™ engine
doesn’t require oil changes or valve adjustments.
It doesn’t have the additional weight associated
with other engine technologies, and it burns fuel
more cleanly and more efficiently. The ingenuity
is Low Friction Technology, and the innovation is
Power Boost Vortex™.
Power Blend
®
XTended Life™ Oil
Power Blend® XTended Life™ is synthetic
blend oil that starts with an organic base and
is certified for use in all air-cooled, 2-stroke,
outdoor power equipment engines. It meets
and exceeds ISO-L-EGD and JASO M345/FD
requirements and has superior cleaning capa-
bilities while minimizing exhaust port blockage.

Posi-loc™ Pipe System
The ECHO Posi-loc™ pipe system ensures a
secure pipe connection at all times. A series of
grooves and ridges winds around adjoining
pipes keeping sections connected. A simple
twist of the lower pipe is all it takes to lock or
unlock a section.
