WARNING
The blades must not move at idle, otherwise serious personal
injury may result. Periodic carburetor adjustment may be necessary
to assure blades do not move at idle.
If blades move, readjust carburetor according to these instructions,
or see your ECHO Dealer.

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.

High Altitude Operation

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.
