Maintenance And Care - Echo MB-440 Manual De Instrucciones

Replacing fuel filter
Cooling system maintenance
Do not place hand between engine and backpack housing while engine is in operation. Be sure the engine is fully
stopped before inserting hands to remove any debris. If available, use a utensil to remove the debris.
Failure to observe the precautions could cause an accident or injury, or even lead to a fatality.
To maintain proper engine operating temperature, cooling air must pass freely through the cylinder fin area. This
flow of air carries combustion heat away from the engine. Overheating and engine seizure can occur when:
Air intakes are blocked, preventing cooling air from reaching the cylinder,
Dust and grass build up on the outside of the cylinder. This build-up insulates the engine and prevents the heat
from leaving.
Removal of cooling passage blockages or cleaning of cylinder fins is considered "Normal Maintenance". Any resultant failure
attributed to lack of maintenance is not warranted.
