Idle Speed Adjustment

• Every unit is run at the factory and the carburetor is set in compliance with

emission regulations. Carburetor adjustments, other than idle speed, must

be performed by an authorized ECHO dealer.

• If a tachometer is available, idle speed screw (A) (Figure 6A) should be

set to the specifications found in the Operator’s Manual. Turn idle screw

(A) clockwise to increase idle speed; counterclockwise to decrease idle

speed.

• The cutting attachment may be spinning during carburetor adjustments.

• Wear your protective equipment and observe all safety instructions.

• For units equipped with a clutch, be sure the cutting attachment stops

turning when the engine idles.

• When the unit is turned off, make sure the cutting attachment has stopped

before the unit is set down.

Emissions Control Components

• The use of emission control components other than those specifically

designed for this unit is a violation of federal law.

1. Air Filter: Close choke, remove air filter cover, clean air cleaner area,

clean or replace filter (if damaged).

2. Spark Plug: Use only NGK BPM8Y spark plug (BPMR8Y in Canada)

otherwise severe engine damage may occur. Adjust spark plug gap by

bending outer electrode to a 0.65mm (0.026in) gap.
