OPERATOR'S MANUAL

Spark Arrestor - Catalytic Muffler/Muffler

The muffler or catalytic muffler controls the exhaust noise and emissions. The spark arrestor screen prevents hot, glowing particles of carbon from leaving the muffler. Make sure the spark arrestor screen is in good repair and properly seated in the muffler. Keep exhaust area clear of flammable debris. Avoid contact during and immediately after operation.

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.
