CHAIN LUBRICANT
Proper lubrication of the chain while in operation
reduces the friction between the chain and the
guide bar to a minimum and assures a longer
service life.
• Use bar and chain oil of high quality for this
purpose.
• Do not use used or reclaimed oil to avoid various
oiler problems.
• Use ECHO bar and chain oil.
• Use bar and chain oil of the following grades:
SAE No. 30 ....... in summer
SAE No. 10 ....... in winter or when cutting
resinous trees
• When refueling, also refill chain oil.

gasoline.
3. Close container and shake to mix oil with
gasoline.
4. Add remaining gasoline, close fuel container,
and remix.
IMPORTANT
• Spilled fuel is a leading cause of hydrocarbon
emissions.
Some states may require the use of automatic
fuel shut-off containers to reduce fuel spillage.
• Stored fuel ages.
Do not mix more fuel than you expect to use in
thirty (30) days, ninety (90) days when a fuel
stabilizer is added.
• Stored two-stroke fuel may separate.
Always shake fuel container thoroughly before
each use.
After Use -
Do not store a unit with fuel in its tank.
Leaks can occur.
Return unused fuel to an approved fuel storage
container.
Storage -
Fuel storage laws vary by locality.
Contact your local government for the laws
affecting your area.
As a precaution, store fuel in an approved, airtight
container.
Store in a well-ventilated, unoccupied building,
away from sparks and flames.

when mixing, storing or handling or serious
personal injury may result.
• Use an approved fuel container.
• Do not smoke near fuel.
• Do not allow flames or sparks near fuel.
• Fuel tanks/cans may be under pressure.
Always loosen fuel caps slowly allowing
