FUEL STATEMENT
GASOLINE - Use 89 Octane [(R+M)/2] (mid grade or
higher) gasoline or gasohol known to be good quality.
Gasohol may contain up to 10 % Ethyl (grain) alcohol or
15 % MTBE (methyl teriary-butyl ether). Gasohol con-
taining methyl (wood) alcohol is NOT approved.
TWO-STROKE OIL - A two-stroke engine oil meeting
ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and JASO M345-FD Stand-
ards must be used. ECHO brand premium Power Blend
X™ Universal 2-Stroke Oil meets these standards. En-
gine problems due to inadequate lubrication caused by
failure to use an ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and JASO
M345-FD certied oil, such as ECHO premium Power
Blend X™, will void the two-stroke engine warranty.
WARNING
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 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.
Alternative fuels may also cause premature
deterioration of fuel lines, gaskets,
carburetor and other engine components.
