HC-165/185
Eye Protection
Eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1, CE, or CSA Z94.3 requirements must be worn whenever you operate
the unit.
Hand Protection
Wear no-slip, heavy duty work gloves to improve your grip on the handles. Gloves also reduce the
transmission of machine vibration to your hands.
Breathing Protection
Wear a facemask to protect against dust.
Hearing Protection
ECHO recommends wearing hearing protection whenever unit is used.
Proper Clothing
Wear snug fitting, durable clothing;
• Pants should have long legs, shirts with long sleeves.
• DO NOT WEAR SHORTS,
• DO NOT WEAR TIES, SCARVES, JEWELRY, or clothing with loose or hanging items that could become
entangled in moving parts or surrounding growth.
Wear sturdy work shoes with nonskid soles;

HC-165/185
SAFETY
Vibration and Cold
It is believed that a condition called Raynaud’s Phenomenon,
which affects the fingers of certain individuals, may be brought
about by exposure to vibration and cold. Exposure to vibration
and cold may cause tingling and burning sensations, followed
by loss of color and numbness in the fingers. The following
precautions are strongly recommended, because the minimum
exposure, which might trigger the ailment, is unknown.
• Keep your body warm, especially the head, neck, feet, ankles,
hands, and wrists.
• Maintain good blood circulation by performing vigorous arm exercises during frequent work breaks, and
also by not smoking.
• Limit the hours of operation. Try to fill each day with jobs where operating the unit or other hand-held
power equipment is not required.
• If you experience discomfort, redness, and swelling of the fingers followed by whitening and loss of feeling,
consult your physician before further exposing yourself to cold and vibration.
Repetitive Stress Injuries
It is believed that overusing the muscles and tendons of the
fingers, hands, arms, and shoulders may cause soreness,
swelling, numbness, weakness, and extreme pain in those
areas. Certain repetitive hand activities may put you at a high
risk for developing a Repetitive Stress Injury (RSI). An extreme
RSI condition is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), which could
occur when your wrist swells and squeezes a vital nerve that
runs through the area. Some believe that prolonged exposure to
vibration may contribute to CTS. CTS can cause severe pain for
months or even years.
To reduce the risk of RSI/CTS, do the following:
• Avoid using your wrist in a bent, extended, or twisted position. Instead try to maintain a straight wrist
position. Also, when grasping, use your whole hand, not just the thumb and index finger.
• Take periodic breaks to minimize repetition and rest your hands.
• Reduce the speed and force with which you do the repetitive movement.
• Do exercise to strengthen the hand and arm muscles.
• Immediately stop using all power equipment and consult a doctor if you feel tingling, numbness, or pain in
the fingers, hands, wrists, or arms. The sooner RSI/CTS is diagnosed, the more likely permanent nerve
and muscle damage can be prevented.
All over head electrical conductors and communications wires can have electricity flow with high
voltages. This unit is not insulated against electrical current. Never touch wires directly or indirectly,
otherwise serious injury or death may result.

OPERATION
HC-165/185
OPERATION
Moving parts can amputate fingers or cause severe injuries. Keep hands, clothing and loose objects
away from all openings. Always stop engine, disconnect spark plug, and make sure all moving parts
have come to a complete stop before removing obstructions, clearing debris, or servicing unit.
Operation of this equipment may create sparks that can start fires. This unit is equipped with a spark
arrestor to prevent discharge of hot particles from the engine. Metal cutters can can create sparks if
the cutter strikes rocks, metal, or other hard objects. Contact local fire authorities for laws or
regulations regarding fire prevention requirements.
Fuel
Alternative fuels, such as E-15 (15% ethanol), E-85 (85% ethanol) or any fuels not meeting ECHO
requirements are NOT approved for use in ECHO 2-stroke gasoline engines. Use of alternative fuels
may cause performance problems, loss of power, overheating, fuel vapor lock, and unintended
machine operation, including, but not limited to, improper clutch engagement. Alternative fuels may
also cause premature deterioration of fuel lines, gaskets, carburetors and other engine components.
Fuel Requirements
Gasoline - Use 89 Octane [R+M/2] (mid grade or higher) gasoline known to be good quality. Gasoline may
contain up to 10% Ethanol (grain alcohol) or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary-butyl ether). Gasoline containing
methanol (wood alcohol) is NOT approved. ECHO brand Power Fuel™ is 93 octane, ethanol-free fuel
premixed with ECHO Red Armor® engine oil at 50:1 ratio. Use of ECHO Power Fuel™ is recommended to
extend engine life in all air-cooled 2-stroke and 2/4-stroke hybrid engines.
Two Stroke Oil - A two-stroke engine oil meeting ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and J.A.S.O. FD Standards
must be used. Echo brand premium Power Blend X™ Universal 2-Stroke Oil meets these standards. Engine
problems due to inadequate lubrication caused by failure to use an ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and
J.A.S.O. FD certified oil, such as Echo premium Power Blend X™, will void the two-stroke engine warranty.
Echo premium Power Blend X™ Universal 2-Stroke Oil may be mixed at 50:1 ratio for application in all Echo
engines sold in the past regardless of ratio specified in those manuals.
Handling Fuel
Fuel is VERY flammable. Use extreme care when mixing, storing or handling, or serious personal
injury may result.
• Use an approved fuel container.
• DO NOT smoke near fuel.
• DO NOT allow flames or sparks near fuel.

amount of gasoline.
2. Add the proper amount of 2-stroke oil to gasoline.
3. Close container and shake to mix oil with gasoline.
4. Add remaining gasoline, close fuel container, and remix.
Spilled fuel is a leading cause of hydrocarbon emissions. Some
states may require the use of automatic fuel shut-off containers
to reduce fuel spillage.
For more information
scan this QR code.
After use
• DO NOT store a unit with fuel in its tank. Leaks can occur.
Return unused fuel to an approved fuel storage container.
Storage - Fuel storage laws vary by locality. Contact your local government for the laws affecting your area.
As a precaution, store fuel in an approved, airtight container. Store in a well-ventilated, unoccupied building,
away from sparks and flames.
Stored fuel ages. Do not mix more fuel than you expect to use in thirty (30) days, ninety (90) days when a
fuel stabilizer is added.
Stored two-stroke fuel may separate. ALWAYS shake fuel container thoroughly before each use.

MAINTENANCE
Moving parts can amputate fingers or cause severe injuries. Keep hands, clothing and loose objects
away from all openings. Always stop engine, disconnect spark plug, and make sure all moving parts
have come to a complete stop before removing obstructions, clearing debris, or servicing unit.
Allow unit to cool before performing service. Wear gloves to protect hands from sharp edges and
hot surfaces.
Your ECHO unit is designed to provide many hours of trouble free service. Regular scheduled maintenance
will help your unit achieve that goal. If you are unsure or are not equipped with the necessary tools, you may
want to take your unit to an ECHO Service Dealer for maintenance. To help you decide whether you want to
DO-IT-YOURSELF or have the ECHO Dealer do it, each maintenance task has been graded. If the task is
not listed, see your ECHO Dealer for repairs.

Spark Plug
Level 2.
REPOWERTM Tune-Up Kit
Parts Required:
Use only NGK BPM-8Y spark plug (BPMR-8Y in Canada)
otherwise severe engine damage may occur.
0.65 mm
(0.026 in.)
1. Remove spark plug and check for fouling, worn and rounded
center electrode.
2. Clean the plug or replace with a new one. DO NOT sand blast to clean. Remaining sand will damage
engine.
3. Adjust spark plug gap by bending outer electrode.
4. Tighten spark plug to 150-170 kgf • cm (130-150 in • lbf).
Cooling System
Level 2.
Parts Required: None if you are careful.
To maintain proper engine operating temperatures, 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 cooling fins is considered “Normal Maintenance.” Any
failure attributed to lack of maintenance is not warranted.
1. Remove muffler cover.
2. Remove starter cover and clean dirt and dust from fins.
DO NOT use a metal scraper to remove dirt from the cylinder fins.
3. Assemble components in reverse order.

Carburetor Adjustment
The blades must not move at idle, otherwise serious personal injury may result. Periodic carburetor
adjustment may be necessary to assure blades do not move at idle.
If blades move, readjust carburetor according to these instructions, or see your ECHO Dealer.
Engine Break-In
New engines must be operated a minimum duration of two tanks of fuel break-in before carburetor
adjustments can be made. During the break-in period your engine performance will increase and exhaust
emissions will stabilize. Idle speed can be adjusted as required.
High Altitude Operation
This engine has been factory adjusted to maintain satisfactory starting, emission, and durability performance
up to 1,100 feet above sea level (ASL) (96.0 kPa). To maintain proper engine operation and emission
compliance above 1,100 feet ASL the carburetor may need to be adjusted by an authorized ECHO service
dealer.
If the engine is adjusted for operation above 1,100 feet ASL, the carburetor must be re-adjusted when
operating the engine below 1,100 feet ASL, otherwise severe engine damage may result.
Level 2.
Parts Required: None
Note: 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.
1. Before adjusting the carburetor, clean or replace the air filter
and spark arrestor screen.
2. Start engine and run for several minutes to reach operating
temperature.
3. Check idle speed and reset if necessary. If a tachometer is
available, idle speed screw (A) should be set to the
specifications found on “Specifications” page of this
manual. Turn idle screw (A) clockwise to increase idle
speed; counter clockwise to decrease idle speed.
