Fuel
Diesel fuels and alternative fuels, such as E-15 (15% ethanol), E-
85 (85% ethanol) or any fuels not meeting ECHO requirements
are NOT approved for use in ECHO 2-stroke gasoline engines.
Use of diesel or alternative fuels may cause performance
problems, loss of power, overheating, fuel vapor lock, and
unintended machine operation, including, but not limited to,
improper clutch engagement. Diesel or alternative fuels may
also cause premature deterioration of fuel lines, gaskets,
carburetors and other engine components.
Fuel Requirements
Gasoline - Use 89 Octane [R+M/2] (mid grade or higher) gasoline known to
be good quality. Gasoline may contain up to 10% Ethanol (grain alcohol) or
15% MTBE (methyl tertiary-butyl ether). Gasoline containing methanol
(wood alcohol) is NOT approved. ECHO brand Power Fuel
™
is 93 octane,
ethanol-free fuel premixed with ECHO Red Armor
®
engine oil at 50:1 ratio.
Use of ECHO Power Fuel
™
is recommended to extend engine life in all air-
cooled 2-stroke and 2/4-stroke hybrid engines.
Two Stroke Oil - A two-stroke engine oil meeting ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD
13738) and J.A.S.O. FD Standards must be used. Echo brand premium
Power Blend X
™
Universal 2-Stroke Oil meets these standards. Engine
problems due to inadequate lubrication caused by failure to use an ISO-L-
EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and J.A.S.O. M345-FD certified oil, such as Echo
premium Power Blend X
™
, will void the two-stroke engine warranty.
Echo premium Power Blend X
™
Universal 2-Stroke Oil may be mixed
at 50:1 ratio for application in all Echo engines sold in the past
regardless of ratio specified in those manuals.
Handling Fuel
Fuel is VERY flammable. Use extreme care when mixing, storing
or handling, or serious personal injury may result.
