• Stihl Backpack Blower Serial Number Location

Echo Backpack Leaf Blowers. The model and serial number on Echo Backpack Leaf blowers can be found in multiple locations on the leaf blower including: on the engine block, the lower blower housing, the bottom of the blower housing, and near the hip mount throttle handle. The model and serial number will be on a black and white label. The serial number of one I know was built prior to its purchase on Nov 2, 1990 is 22248322. Since this one is 8 and yours is 9 digits, I'd say yours is considerably later. I also have 026's with the serial numbers 228874912 and 241159621 one being metal tag and the latter being plastic tag.
