Piston rings help to maintain the pressure between the piston and cylinder wall. If the compressed gas between these two parts begins to leak out, the engine will not be able to put out enough energy, and the lawn appliance will stop working. Piston rings can wear out over time due to engine overheating or faulty ignition in the engine. A telltale sign of a burnt-out piston ring is whitish-grey smoke coming from the appliance. Extreme oil inefficiency is another sign. This part is a genuine OEM part designed for Echo or Mantis handheld yard tools such as a chainsaw, hedge trimmer, leaf blower, edger, pole pruner, or tiller engine. It does not ship with other parts. Any additional parts needed to install the piston ring must be ordered independently.
This is a genuine OEM replacement piston ring that is sourced directly from the manufacturer for use in trimmers, blowers, and other outdoor power equipment. It is used to seal the space between the piston and the cylinder wall. This keeps the compression between the cylinder wall and the piston at a constant and prevents combusted gas from getting inside. Normal wear over time can cause the piston ring to break down. If the engine is producing excessive smoke or using more oil than normal, the piston ring may need to be replaced. If the engine loses power, the piston ring should be checked.Replace the piston ring using a screwdriver, socket set, and a nut driver. Wear gloves while working. Make sure the spark plug is removed from the engine. Take the engine and muffler cover off of the machine. Remove the carburetor and remove the piston ring. Clean the area to remove dirt and debris. This will help ensure a tight seal with the new piston ring. Reinstall all parts. This is a black cast iron piston ring that is sold individually. It is compatible with hedge trimmers, grass trimmers, and brush cutters manufactured by Shindaiwa and Echo.
