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 27 "Specifications" of this manual. Turn idle screw (A) 

clockwise to increase idle speed; counter clockwise to decrease 

idle speed.

When carburetor adjustment is completed, the cutting attachment 

should not turn at idle, otherwise serious personal injury may
