Grass Trimmer/Brush Cutter 17 Operator's Manual
starting warm engine
The starting procedure is the same as Cold Start except DO NOT close the choke, and do not hold throttle trigger fully depressed.
WARNING
The attachment should not move at idle, otherwise serious per- sonal injury may result.
NOTE
If attachment moves, readjust carburetor according to “Carburetor Adjustment” instructions in this manual or see your ECHO Dealer.
1.Stop Switch
Move stop switch button (A) forward away from the STOP posi- tion.
2.Purge Bulb
Pump purge bulb (C) until fuel is visible in the "Clear" fuel return line.
NOTE
Energy is stored in the starter spring each time the handle/rope is pulled. Generally two to six pulls, using light pulling forces, will store enough energy to engage the starter and spin the engine. Do not pull the rope out to end stop.
3.Recoil Starter
Lay the unit on a flat area and keep movable attachment parts clear of all obstacles. Gently pull the recoil starter handle (D) until engine fires.
NOTE
If engine does not start after 5 pulls, use Cold Start Procedure.
