Echo SB 24

STARTING

The cutting head/work attachment (nylon line head, blade, or PAS/SB attachment) must not move at idle, otherwise serious personal injury may result. Periodic carburetor adjustment may be necessary to assure the cutting head/PAS attachment does not move at idle. If the cutting head/work attachment moves at idle, readjust carburetor according to “Carburetor Adjustment” instructions and idle speed specifications provided in your Operator’s Manual. See your Echo dealer or contact Echo Consumer Support at 1-800-432-ECHO. for help if you have any questions.

Follow these important safety rules when starting your unit:

•DO NOT use unit if cutting head/work attachment moves while engine is idling (throttle trigger not depressed). Adjust idle speed as instructed in your unit’s Operator’s Manual before using unit.

•NEVER start or run your unit indoors or anywhere else where there is poor air circulation. Indoor operation produces dangerous levels of Carbon Monoxide, a colorless and odorless poisonous gas. Carbon Monoxide (CO) causes nausea and other flu-like symptoms if breathed. Prolonged exposure to CO may cause loss of consciousness, brain damage, or death.

•NEVER start a unit near a gasoline container or spilled gasoline.

•ALWAYS move at least 3 m (10 ft.) away from refueling location before starting engine.

•If a protective blade cover is used, ALWAYS re- move blade cover before starting unit. Keep blade cover nearby, and place cover back on blade when unit is off and blade has stopped.

•NEVER start a PAS/HCA (extended shaft, articulat- ing blade) unit while blade is in folded/locked posi- tion. Make cutting angle adjustment first.
