Engine housing/muffler is hot

Modified on Wed, Oct 1, 2025 at 11:45 AM

During operation, the engine housing, exhaust, and muffler can become very hot. Avoid resting your arm on or touching these areas. Using a shoulder strap or harness helps evenly distribute the weight and reduces the risk of contact with hot surfaces. ECHO® offers an Arm Rest Kit for select models: SRM-230, SRM-260, SRM-261T. Part #900102. 


For customers who may have sustained a burn, please treat this as an injury report.
