Hi group, I'm a complete newbie, and I ran a brand new echo 590 for a few minutes with the brake on. Of course it started to smoke but I was under the impression it was the pre-mix. The wind changed and I smelled burning rubber... I was trying to get the brake off before starting it but I honestly couldn't move it. I called them up and they said it could be very tight but I felt like I was going to snap it off.
I decided to run it as I thought maybe it's a safety issue... So what did I burn up? What should I do, exchange it? I already know I'm really dumb so with that said let me have your thoughts.
