Do not keep the sprayer with pressure after finishing your spraying job, release the pressure through the nozzle by depressing the trigger, into a suitable container to re-use later or to dispose of properly.

  • Pour approximately 1/2 gallon of fresh water into the tank, pressurize and flush, the pumping system by pressing the trigger for at least 2 minutes, then drain all remaining water.
  • Carrying straps are made of non-absorbent materials, nevertheless, in case of solution spillage, wash them with fresh water to eliminate all risk of skin irritation.
  • A unit that has been used with herbicides should never be used to spray insecticides unless the sprayer has been properly cleaned and all other chemicals neutralized. Failure to do this could cause you to kill plants that have been sprayed.
  • Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the chemicals in use to avoid accidents and take maximum advantage of the product.
    Store your sprayer clean, empty, and dry in a place protected from sunlight.

ATTENTION TWO-STROKE ENGINE POWER PRODUCT OWNERS
Two-stroke engine power products are quality-engineered and manufactured to exact tolerances to provide superior performance. To help ensure the performance of the unit, it is required to use two-stroke oil that meets the ISO-L-EGD Standard per ISO/CD 13738 and JASO M345FD Standards. ECHO and Shindaiwa branded oils are premium two-stroke oils specifically formulated to meet ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and JASO M345FD Standards. The use of two-stroke oils designed for other applications, such as for outboard motors or lawnmowers can result in severe engine damage and will void your two-stroke engine limited warranty.

THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER DAMAGE CAUSED BY:

  • Lack of lubrication or engine failure, due to the use of two-stroke oils that do not meet the ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and JASO M345FD Standards. Engine problems due to inadequate lubrication caused by failure to use an ISO-L-EGD compliant and JASO M345FD registered oil, will void the two-stroke engine limited warranty. ECHO and Shindaiwa branded oils meet the ISO-L-EGD and JASO M345FD Standard. Emission-related parts are covered for 5 years of homeowner use or 2 years of commercial use regardless of two-stroke oil used per the statement listed in the EPA or California Emission Defect Warranty Explanation.
  • Damage caused by use of gasohol, containing methanol (wood alcohol), or gasoline containing less than 89 octanes. Only use gasoline that contains 89 octanes or higher. Gasohol which contains a maximum 10% ethanol (grain alcohol) or 15% MTBE (methyl/tertiary/butyl/ ether) is also approved. The prescribed mixing ratio of gasoline to oil is listed on the oil label and covered in your operator’s manual.
  • Engine damage is caused by the use of ether or any starting fluids.
  • Damage caused by tampering with engine speed governor or emission components, or running engines above specified and recommended engine speeds as listed in your operator’s manual.
  • Operation of the unit with improperly maintained/removed cutting shield or removed/damaged air filter.
  • Damage caused by dirt, pressure, or steam cleaning the unit, salt water, corrosion, rust, varnish, abrasives, and moisture.
  • Defects, malfunctions, or failures resulting from abuse, misuse, neglect, modifications, alterations, normal wear, improper servicing, or use of unauthorized attachments.
  • Incorrect storage procedures, and stale fuel, including failure to provide or perform required maintenance services as prescribed in the operator’s manual. Preventative maintenance as outlined in the operator’s manual is the customer’s responsibility.
  • Failures due to improper set-up, pre-delivery service, or repair service by anyone other than the authorized servicing dealer during the warranty period.
  • Certain parts and other items are not warranted including but not limited to lubricants, starter cords, and engine tune-ups.
  • Use of spark plugs other than those meeting performance and durability requirements of the OEM spark plug listed in the Operator’s Manuals.
  • Overheating or carbon scoring failures due to restricted, clogged exhaust port or combustion chamber, including damage to spark arrester screen.
  • Adjustments after the first (30) thirty days and beyond, such as carburetor adjustment and throttle cable adjustment.
  • Damage to gears or gear cases caused by contaminated grease or oil, use of incorrect type or viscosity of lubricants, and/or failure to comply with recommended grease or oil change intervals.

It is a dealer’s and/or customer’s responsibility to complete and return the warranty registration card supplied with your product or by visiting www .echo-usa.com or www.shindaiwa-usa.com. Your receipt of purchase including date, model, and serial number must be maintained and presented to an authorized servicing dealer for warranty service. Proof of purchase rests solely with the customer. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not apply to you. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so you may also have other specific legal rights which vary from state to state. This limited warranty is given by ECHO Incorporated, 400 Oakwood Rd., Lake Zurich, IL 60047.
