ASSEMBLY
NEVER install any other type of blade, line head, cutting attachment, part, or accessory on your trimmer/ brushcutter unless it is approved by Echo for use on your specific model. Parts and accessories that appear to fit properly may create a safety hazard when the unit is operated, and could result in serious injury to operator and bystanders.
ALWAYS use the correct tools for assembly. Using incorrect or improperly sized tools can result in a sudden slip and serious injuries.
ALWAYS follow the assembly instructions in order, as shown in the Operator’s Manual. Improper assembly can result in sudden part failure, and serious injuries.
NEVER use parts that appear to be worn, damaged, improperly sized, or otherwise incompatible with mating parts. Contact your dealer or Echo Consumer Support for assistance if parts do not fit properly.
NEVER modify parts or use parts from other pieces of equipment to assemble your unit. Use only parts that are designed to fit your model. Modifying a part to fit may weaken it, and cause premature failure. Parts from other models may not work properly, and can create unsafe operating conditions.
Wiring
Position wiring safely to prevent snagging, separation of connectors, or breakage during operation. Gather excess wire, and secure with wiring clamp if provided on unit, or tuck behind the air filter area. Do not place wiring directly against hot engine components.
Check wiring and connectors for nicks, cuts, exposed wire, or other damage, and repair or replace as needed. Exposed wire or connectors can cause shocks, sparks, and risk of fire or explosion, resulting in seriousinjury.
Check wire terminals for secure connections. Loose connections can cause erratic engine operation, or prevent Stop switch from stopping engine.
