IMPORTANT

If the engine is adjusted for operation above 1,100 feet ASL, the

carburetor must be re-adjusted when operating the engine below

1,100 feet ASL, otherwise severe engine damage may result.

Level 2.

Parts required: None.

NOTE

Every unit is run at the factory and the carburetor is set in compli-

ance with emission regulations. Carburetor adjustments, other than

idle speed, must be performed by an authorized ECHO dealer.

1. Before adjusting the carburetor, clean or replace the air filter and

spark arrestor screen.

2. Start engine and run for several minutes to reach operating tem-

perature.

3 Check idle speed and reset if necessary. If a tachometer is avail-

able, idle speed screw (A) should be set to the specification found

on “Specifications” page of this manual. Turn idle screw (A)

clockwise to increase idle speed, counter-clockwise to decrease

idle speed.

WARNING

When carburetor adjustment is completed, the cutting attachment

should not move at idle, otherwise serious personal injury may

result.
