Engine Break-In

New engines must be operated a minimum duration of two tanks of fuel

break-in before carburetor adjustments can be made. During the break-

in period your engine performance will increase and exhaust emissions

will stabilize. Idle speed can be adjusted as required.

This engine has been factory adjusted to maintain satisfactory starting,

emission, and durability performance up to 1,100 feet mean sea level

(MSL) (96.0 kPa and below). To maintain proper engine operation and

emission compliance above 1,100 feet MSL the carburetor may need to

be adjusted by an authorized ECHO service dealer.

IMPORTANT

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

carburetor must be re-adjusted when operating the engine below

1,100 feet MSL, otherwise severe engine damage can result.

Level 2.

Tools required: Screwdriver, Tachometer (ECHO P/N 99051130017).

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

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

on page 33 "Specifications" 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 turn at idle, otherwise serious personal injury may

result.
