Cylinder fins (Cooling system)
Check periodically.
Clogged fins will result in poor engine cooling.
Remove dirt and dust from between fins to let cooling air pass easily.
Guide bar
NOTE
When replacing guide bar or saw chain, ask your ECHO dealer.
1. Groove
2. Oil hole
Clean before using.
- Clean the groove of the guide bar with a small screw driver, for example.

Reverse guide bar periodically.
Check sprocket and the clutch and clean the bar mount area before installation of the guide
bar.
Replace either or both if worn.
Sprocket / Clutch drum
∗ Worn out: 0.5 mm
The damaged sprocket will cause premature damage or wear of saw chain.
- When the sprocket has worn out 0.5 mm or more, replace it.
Check sprocket when you install new chain.
Replace it if worn.
Check clutch drum, if it rotates freely and smoothly.
If not, ask your dealer for repair.
Carburettor
When starting, idle speed adjuster (T) should be adjusted not to rotate the saw chain.
When there is some trouble with the carburettor, contact your dealer.
L: Low speed mixture adjuster
H: High speed mixture adjuster
T: Idle speed adjuster
Do not adjust the carburettor unless necessary.
To adjust the carburettor proceed as follows:
- Turn the low speed mixture adjuster (L) and high speed mixture adjuster (H)
anticlockwise to stop.
- Start engine and allow it to run at high idle until warm.
- Turn the idle speed adjuster (T) anticlockwise until the saw chain stops moving.
- Turn idle speed adjuster (T) anticlockwise an additional 1/2 turn.
- Accelerate to full throttle to check for smooth transition from idle to full throttle.
Automatic oiler
1. Oil adjusting screw
The discharge volume of the automatic oiler is adjusted to 7 mL/min approximately at
7000 r/min, prior to shipment from factory.
- To increase the delivery volume, turn the adjusting screw anticlockwise.
When the adjusting screw touches stopper and stops, this position indicates maximum
discharge volume. (13 mL/min at 7000 r/min)
- Do not turn the adjusting screw beyond the maximum or minimum limit of volume
adjustment.
