The key to this is the motor speed knob... Having taken the delay timings from the Echotapper site, and having experimented with EFTP, Line 6 M13 and ESE, if you point the motor speed knob directly at the "P" in Power on the face plate, then with buttons 1,2,3 and 4, you have the correct echo timings from the earliest Shadows recordings so you can study the diagrams I linked to and replicate them by careful use of the echo volume and FX 1,2,3 Control...
Better still, with the same speed settings, heads 1, 3 4,5 and 6 give the correct head spacings for later Shadows tunes, so, again, you can have a really good fiddle about and get the right nuances for each tune.
In my opinion, echo head 1 is always switched on and is quite loud, thickening up the lead sound considerably...
(This is based on the assumption that the motor speed knob when on minimum point to the "P" in Pull On...)
