ECHO ADVANTAGES AND PRODUCT ICON EXPLANATIONS
ECHO has proven time and time again that it is the technological innovator in the outdoor power equipment industry. The following product advantages are ECHO exclusives, and each one is designed and engineered into the most reliable and highest certified equipment available. Look for the following icons referenced on individual models throughout the catalog.
Power Boost™ Engine Technology Many in the industry said a 2-stroke engine couldn’t be designed that would meet EPA
and CARB emissions standards and still provide the performance demanded by commercial landscapers. ECHO’s Power Boost™ Tornado engine technology proved them wrong. With this engine, you get tomorrow’s technology today – without compromise. All Power Boost Tornado™ engine products are backed by the industry’s most rock solid warranty and carry 300-hour useful life ratings.
Rapid-Loader™
Tired of the frustration that occurs from winding trimmer line? With Rapid-Loader™, there’s no more mess or fuss. Just insert precut sections of line into the trimmer head and you’re ready to go. Rapid-Loader™ heads are available in two- line and three-line configurations and will accept line diameters from .095” to .130” for engine models under 25 cc and up to .155” for engine models over 25 cc. Available for all ECHO Trimmers and most non-ECHO trimmers, Rapid- Loader™ makes line changes “lightning fast!”
RazorEdge™ Hedge
Trimmer Blades
ECHO’s advantages aren’t solely related to engine technologies. The RazorEdge™ blades are the sharpest and longest lasting around. The blades are precision-ground and laser cut for the ultimate sharpness resulting in quicker, cleaner cuts. And their sharpness will last and last well beyond that of traditional blades.
U Turn™ The U Turn™ Trimmer Head allows you to reload a spool
in seconds! Just insert a length of line into the holes on the side of the spool drum and twist the line onto the spool. One quick snip and you’re ready to go. It’s that simple! U Turn™ trimmer heads will fit any ECHO SRM Series Trimmer.
i-start™ Starting Technology
The i-start™ family of starting technologies leads the industry in reducing starting effort. These patented systems are available on a variety of ECHO products. The revolutionary i-75™ system reduces the effort normally required to pull-start the engine by over 75%! And i-30™ starting technology reduces starting effort by 30%. You will appreciate the simplicity and ease of use that i-75™ and i-30™ deliver start after start.
G-Force Engine Air Pre-Cleaner™
The G-Force Engine Air Pre-Cleaner™ is avail- able on select ECHO chain saws. Before enter- ing the air filter, engine air is spun around and around eliminating dirt and debris. This flow of air causes cleaner air to pass through the filter thereby increasing maintenance intervals and creating a longer-lasting engine. A longer-lasting engine means a longer-lasting product.
Power Blend® XTended Life™ Oil
Power Blend® XTended Life™ is synthetic blend oil that starts with an organic base and is certified for use in all air-cooled, 2-stroke, outdoor power equipment engines. It meets and exceeds ISO-L-EGD and JASO M345/FD requirements and has superior cleaning capa- bilities while minimizing exhaust port blockage.
Posi-loc™ Pipe System
The ECHO Posi-loc™ pipe system ensures a secure pipe connection at all times. A series of grooves and ridges winds around adjoining pipes keeping sections connected. A simple twist of the lower pipe is all it takes to lock or unlock a section.
Power Boost Vortex™
Power Boost Vortex™ is the latest in the long line of ECHO’s engine achievements. Unheard-of clearance tolerances are enabled through patent- ed machining techniques, thereby taking 2-stroke engine design to even greater efficiency and performance. These engines feature unsurpassed friction reduction, unrivaled heat dissipation, and incomparable acceleration. And, like every 2-stroke engine, a Power Boost Vortex™ engine doesn’t require oil changes or valve adjustments. It doesn’t have the additional weight associated with other engine technologies, and it burns fuel more cleanly and more efficiently. The ingenuity is Low Friction Technology, and the innovation is Power Boost Vortex™.
300-HOUR RATED PRODUCTS
When you buy a premium brand, you expect professional-grade performance. Is that what you’re getting? Everybody thought EPA emission requirements for 2005 and beyond would be the death of 2-stroke engines…FICTION. ECHO engines carry an ‘A’ category rating and are certified with the EPA to their highest useful life* rating of 300 hours…FACT. What does the label on the other equipment in your tool trailer or garage say? Don’t be confused by manufactur- ers who claim to produce professional-grade products, but rate their engines to the same 50 hours as disposable consumer products. ECHO delivers the highest level of useful life in every product. It’s a FACT.
*EPA uses the term “useful life,” which is defined as “…when engine performance deteriorates to the point where usefulness and/or reliability is impacted to a degree sufficient to necessitate overhaul or replacement…” (U.S. Government, Code of Federal Regulations, Vol. 40, Chapter 1, Sec. 90.105, par. 5, §ii)
Comes with a 5 year consumer warranty.
