Tankning af motoren
The PAS-225VP uses a 2-stroke gasoline engine. It requires a specific mixture of gasoline and 2-stroke engine oil. Refer to your engine manual for the correct mixing ratio and fuel type. Always mix fuel in a well-ventilated area away from ignition sources.

The ECHO PAS-225VP features a tool-less coupler for easy attachment changes. To attach an accessory:
- Ensure the engine is off and cooled down.
- Loosen the wing nut on the coupler.
- Align the pin on the attachment shaft with the hole on the power source coupler.
- Slide the attachment shaft into the power source until the pin locks into place.
- Tighten the wing nut securely to prevent movement during operation.

Betjeningsvejledning
Start af motoren
- Placer enheden på en flad, stabil overflade.
- Sørg for, at ON/OFF-kontakten er i ON-positionen.
- Push the primer bulb several times until fuel is visible in the return line.
- Move the choke lever to the COLD START position.
- Træk fast og jævnt i starthåndtaget, indtil motoren forsøger at starte (normalt 1-3 træk).
- Once the engine "pops" or attempts to start, move the choke lever to the RUN position.
- Træk i starthåndtaget igen, indtil motoren starter.
- Lad motoren varme op i et par øjeblikke, før du giver gas.
Brug af trimmeren
Hold the trimmer firmly with both hands, maintaining a balanced stance. Use a sweeping motion to cut grass and weeds. The 17-inch cutting width allows for efficient coverage. To advance the trimmer line, lightly tap the Speed-Feed® 400 head on the ground while the engine is running at full throttle.
Brug af Edger
For edging, guide the edger wheel along the edge of sidewalks, driveways, or flowerbeds. Maintain a steady pace and allow the blade to cut cleanly through the grass. Adjust the depth as needed for desired results.
