To start your Echo SRM 225, first, ensure the trimmer is on a flat surface. Check that there's enough fuel in the tank. Move the choke to the cold start position if the engine is cold, or leave it if the engine is warm. Press the purge bulb 5-6 times to prime the carburetor. Set the throttle lock. Pull the starter rope sharply until the engine attempts to run. If it doesn’t start within 3-4 pulls, repeat the priming step. Once running, adjust the choke to the run position.
