MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Your ECHO chain saw is designed to provide many hours of trouble free service. Regular scheduled maintenance will help your chain saw achieve that goal. If you are unsure or are not equipped with the necessary tools, you may want to take your unit to an ECHO Service Dealer for maintenance. To help you decide whether you want to DO-IT-YOURSELF or have the ECHO Dealer do it, each maintenance task has been graded. If the task is not listed ask your ECHO dealer for repairs.

SKILL LEVELS

Level 1 = Easy to do. Most required tools come with unit.

Level 2 = Moderate difficulty. Some specialized tools may be required.

ECHO offers REPOWER™ Maintenance Kits and Parts to make your maintenance job easier. Just below each task heading are listed the various part numbers required for that task. Ask your ECHO dealer for these parts.
