WARNING

DANGER

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fuel is VERY flammable. Use extreme care when mixing, storing or

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

handling, otherwise serious personal injury may result.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Use an approved fuel container.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• DO NOT smoke near fuel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• 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!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• NEVER refuel a unit with the engine running.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• DO NOT fill fuel tanks indoors. ALWAYS fill fuel tanks outdoors

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

over bare ground.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Securely tighten fuel cap after refueling.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Inspect for fuel leakage. If fuel leakage is found, do not start or

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

operate unit until leakage is repaired.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IMPORTANT

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Spilled fuel is a leading cause of hydrocarbon emissions. Some

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

states may require the use of automatic fuel shut-off containers to

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

reduce fuel spillage. Contact your ECHO dealer for ordering

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

information.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After Refueling;

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Wipe any spilled fuel from the unit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Move at least 3 m (10 ft.) from refueling location before starting.

 

 

 

 

 

After Use;

 

 

 

 

 

 

• DO NOT store a unit with fuel in its tank. Leaks can occur. Return

 

 

3 m (10 ft.)

 

 

 

 

unused fuel to an approved fuel storage container.
