Handling Fuel
  
 warning
Fuel is VERY flammable. Use extreme care when mixing, storing or handling or serious personal injury may result.
• Use an approved fuel container. 
• DO NOT smoke near fuel.
• DO NOT allow flames or sparks near fuel.
• Fuel tanks/cans may be under pressure. Always loosen fuel caps slowly allowing pressure to equalize.
• NEVER refuel a unit when the engine is HOT or RUNNING!
• DO NOT fill fuel tanks indoors. ALWAYS fill fuel tanks outdoors over bare ground.
• DO NOT overfill fuel tank.  Wipe up spills immediately.
• Securely tighten fuel tank cap and close fuel container after refueling.
• Inspect for fuel leakage. If fuel leakage is found, do not start or operate unit until leakage is repaired.
• Move at least 3m (10 ft.) from refueling location before starting the engine.

gasoline.
2.  Add the proper amount of 2-stroke oil to gasoline.

Spilled fuel is a leading cause of hydrocarbon emissions. Some 
states may require the use of automatic fuel shut-off containers to 
reduce fuel spillage.   
after use
•  DO NOT store a unit with fuel in its tank. Leaks can occur. Return 
unused fuel to an approved fuel storage container.
storage - Fuel storage laws vary by locality. Contact your local gov-
ernment for the laws affecting your area. As a precaution, store fuel in 
an approved, airtight container. Store in a well-ventilated, unoccupied 
building, away from sparks and flames. 
Fuel Requirements 
Gasoline - Use 89 Octane [R+M/2] (mid grade or higher) gasoline known to be good quality. Gasoline may contain up to 
10% Ethanol (grain alcohol) or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary-butyl ether). Gasoline containing methanol (wood alcohol) 
is nOT approved.
Two stroke Oil - A two-stroke engine oil meeting ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and J.A.S.O. FC/FD Standards must 
be used. Echo brand premium Power Blend X 
TM
 Universal 2-Stroke Oil meets these standards. Engine problems due to 
inadequate lubrication caused by failure to use an ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and J.A.S.O. FC/FD certified oil, such as 
Echo premium Power Blend X 
TM
, will void the two-stroke engine warranty.
