Fuel
Petrol and fuel are extremely flammable.
If spilled or ignited by ignition source, it can cause fire and serious injury or
property damage.
Extreme caution is required when handling petrol or fuel.
After refuelling, tighten fuel cap firmly and check for leakage.
In case of fuel leakage, repair before starting operation since there is a danger of
fire.
NOTE
Do not press socket wrench forcefully, since tank cap is plastic.
Pressing forcefully can damage tank cap.
If tank cap is damaged, do not start engine and ask your ECHO dealer for replacement.
1. Oil tank cap
2. Fuel tank cap
A: Loosening direction
B: Tightening direction
Use an appropriate type of fuel container.
Bring an extinguisher or shovel in case of fire.
Despite the precautions which can be taken, operating a chain saw, or just working in the
forest, presents dangers.
Do not smoke or bring flame or sparks near to fuel supplies.
The fuel tank may be under pressure.
Always loosen the fuel cap and wait for pressure to be equalized before removing the cap.
When fuel tank cap or oil tank cap is difficult to remove by fingers, put the attached
socket wrench into the groove of cap and turn it anticlockwise.
Fill the fuel tank outdoors over bare ground and install the fuel cap securely.
Do not pour fuel indoors.
Wipe any spilled fuel off the unit.
Never refuel while the engine is still hot, or fuel a running engine.
Do not store the unit with fuel in its tank, because a fuel leak could start a fire.
