High Altitude Operation

This engine has been factory adjusted to maintain satisfactory starting, emission, and durability performance up to 1100 feet above sea level (ASL) (96.0 kPa).

To maintain proper engine operation and emission compliance above 1100 feet ASL the carburetor may need to be adjusted by an authorized ECHO service dealer.

IMPORTANT

If the engine is adjusted for operation above 1100 feet ASL, the carburetor must be readjusted when operating the engine below 1100 feet ASL, otherwise severe engine damage may result.

WARNING

Cutting attachment must not move when unit is idling.

6.Accelerate to full throttle for 2 - 3 seconds to clear any excess fuel in the engine, then return to idle.

Accelerate engine to full throttle to check for smooth transition from idle to high speed.

If engine hesitates turn “L” needle CCW 1/8 turn and repeat acceleration.

Continue adjustment until smooth acceleration results.

7.Check idle speed and reset if necessary as described in item 5.

If a tachometer is available idle speed should be set to 2800 r/min.

CAUTION

When starting, idling adjustment speed should be adjusted not to rotate the saw chain.

Correct idle speed is adjusted 2800 r/min. Or ¼ turn CCW from the point the chain stops moving.

When you experience trouble with the carburetor, contact your dealer.
