1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please make sure you review each precaution carefully.
EXHAUST PRECAUTIONS
■ Never inhale exhaust gas.
It contains carbon monoxide, a color-
less, odorless and extremely danger-
ous gas which can cause uncon-
sciousness or death.
■ Never operate the engine indoors or
in a poorly ventilated area, such as
tunnel, cave, etc.
■ Exercise extreme care when operat-
ing the engine near people or
animals.
■ Keep the exhaust pipe free of foreign
objects.
REFUELING PRECAUTIONS
■ Be sure to stop the engine prior to
refueling.
■ Do not overfill the fuel tank.
■ If fuel is spilt, wipe it away carefully
and wait until the fuel has dried
before starting the engine.
■ After refueling, make sure that the
fuel cap is secured to prevent
spillage.
FIRE PREVENTION
■ Do not operate while smoking or near
an open flame.
■ Do not use around dry brush, twigs,
cloth rags, or other flammable materi-
als.
■ Keep the engine at least 3 feet
(1 meter) away from buildings or
other structures.
■ Keep the engine away from flamma-
bles and other hazardous materials
(trash, rags, lubricants, explosives).
Download from Www.Soman－uals1.c－om. All Manuals Search And Download.
PROTECTIVE COVER
■ Place the protective covers over
the rotating parts.
If rotating parts such as the drive
shaft, pulley, belt, etc. are left
exposed, they are potentially
hazardous.
To prevent injury, equip them with
protective covers or shrouds.
■ Be careful of hot parts.
The muffler and other engine parts
become very hot while the engine is
running or just after it has stopped.
Operate the engine in a safe area
and keep children away from the
running engine.
■ Never make adjustments on the
machinery while it is connected to the
engine, without first removing the
ignition cable from the spark plug.
Turning the crankshaft by hand
during adjusting or cleaning might
start the engine, and the machinery
with it, causing serious injury to the
operator.
■ Never run the engine with governor
disconnected, or operate at speeds
in excess of 3600 rpm load.
SURROUNDINGS
■ Operate the engine on a stable, level
surface free of small rocks, loose
gravel, etc.
NOTE
Operating the engine at a steep
incline may cause seizure due to
improper lubrication even with a
maximum oil level.
Download from Www.Somanuals.co－m. A2ll－Manuals Search And Download.
■ Drain the fuel when transporting
the engine.
■ Do not move the engine while in
operation when it has been
removed from the equipment.
■ Keep the unit dry (do not operate it in
rainy conditions).
PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
■ Carefully check fuel hoses and
connections for looseness and fuel
leakage. Leaking fuel creates a
potentially dangerous situation.
.
■ Check bolts and nuts for looseness.
A loose bolt or nut may cause seri-
ous engine trouble.
■ Check the engine oil daily and refill if
necessary.
■ Check the fuel level and refill if
necessary.
Do not overfill the tank.
■ Wear snug fitting working clothes
when operating the engine.
Loose aprons, towels, belt, etc., may
be caught in the engine or drive train,
causing a dangerous situation.

6. EASY TROUBLESHOOTING
WHEN ENGINE WILL NOT START:
■ Perform the following checks before you take the engine to your Robin dealer.
■ If you still have trouble after completing the checks, take the engine to your
nearest Robin dealer.
Is there enough compression?
If the spark plug is loose, tighten it.
Is the spark plug wet with gasoline?
1. Choke (close choke lever) and slowly start the engine for 2 or 3 seconds.
Remove the plug and check if its electrode is wet. If the electrode is wet, fuel is
well supplied to your engine.
2.When the electrode is dry, check to find where the fuel is restricted.
(Check the fuel intake of the carburetor and fuel strainer intake.)
3. In case the engine does not start with well supplied fuel, try using fresh fuel.
Is there a strong spark across
