[. . . ] Use of alternative fuels may cause performance problems, loss of power, overheating, fuel vapor lock, and unintended machine operation, including, but not limited to, improper clutch engagement. Alternative fuels may also cause premature deterioration of fuel lines, gaskets, carburetors and other engine components. 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. Echo brand premium Power Blend TM Universal 2-Stroke Oil meets these standards. Engine problems due to inadequate lubrication caused by failure to use an ISO-L-EGD and J. A. S. O. FC certified oil, such as Echo premium Power Blend TM, will void the two-stroke engine warranty. (Emission related parts only are covered for two years, regardless of twostroke oil used, per the statement listed in the Emission Defect Warranty Explanation. ) IMPORTANT Echo premium Power Blend TM Universal 2-Stroke Oil may be mixed at 50:1 ratio for application in all Echo engines sold in the past regardless of ratio specified in those manuals. Handling Fuel WARNING DANGER 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 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. · Securely tighten fuel tank cap and close fuel container after refueling. 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. 14 Mixing Instructions 1.
