Configuration et assemblage
Déballage et inspection initiale
Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect for any damage that may have occurred during shipping. Ensure all parts listed in the packing list are present.
Faire le plein du moteur
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.
Attaching the Trimmer or Edger Head
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.

- Push the primer bulb several times until fuel is visible in the return line.
- Move the choke lever to the COLD START position.
- Pull the starter handle firmly and smoothly until the engine attempts to start (usually 1-3 pulls).
- Once the engine "pops" or attempts to start, move the choke lever to the RUN position.

Utilisation de la tondeuse
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.
Utilisation de la déligneuse
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.
