What was also really nice about the i-75 was how easy it was to start the engine when it was warm. With this trimmer, you’ll want to quickly flip the choke to the run position as soon as you hear the engine fire, and it takes some experimenting to get it just right. Using it every three days, we could easily cold-start it consistently in just 2-3 gentle pulls. Subsequent starts took even less time, and the more frequently you use it, the quicker it will start up. I’d have to say that this is the easiest pull-starter we’ve used and the energy expended is far, far less than that of your typical trimmer. It took about 3 pulls our first time, and the system easily rolled over as we adjusted the choke to the ‘Run’ position. After priming the system, flipping the Stop switch to the ‘On’ position, and making sure the choke was in the ‘Cold Start’ position, we engaged the throttle and pulled the i-75 starter cord. Starting this trimmer was extremely easy. The parts responsible for heat dissipation and the exhaust system are just as easily cleaned. The spark plug is accessible right from the top left side of the motor and the required T-Wrench is included with the trimmer. Continuing in this mode was the fuel filter, which we found could be easily pulled out with the hook included with the replacement filter. The air filter included with the trimmer was of higher quality than we’ve found on consumer-targeted trimmers and we liked how easily you could remove it for cleaning. Maintenance on this product is simple, and most of the commonly replaced or cleanable components were easily accessed. We also liked how the fuel tank was oriented in such a way that the trimmer could be refueled (with a 50:1 gas/oil mix) simply by placing it on the ground and removing the cap – you didn’t have to turn it on its side to add the fuel. We found the rubber overmolded grips on the handle to be extremely comfortable. Checking over the entire tool it’s easy to see that the 225 series is built for long-term use, making it more of a professional crossover tool than just a tool made for occasional use. ECHO’s SRM-225i comes standard with a 21.2cc 2-cycle engine that seems to put out a lot more power than the displacement indicates at first glance.
