Figure 4. Engine Controls and Components

INITIAL SERVICING

The engine (Figure 3) must be checked for proper lubrication and filled with fuel prior to operation. Refer to the manufacturers engine manual for instructions & details of operation and servicing. The engine shown above is a ROBIN engine, operation for other types of engines may vary somewhat.

1. Throttle Lever – Used to adjust engine RPM speed (lever advanced forward SLOW, lever back toward operator FAST).

2. Fuel Filler Cap – Remove this cap to add unleaded gasoline to the fuel tank. Make sure cap is tightened securely. DO NOT over fill.

CAUTION - Fueling The Engine

Adding fuel to the tank should be done only when the engine is stopped and has had an opportunity to cool down. In the event of a fuel spill, DO NOT attempt to start the engine until the fuel residue has been completely wiped up, and the area surrounding the engine is dry.

3. Fuel Tank – Holds unleaded gasoline. For additional

 

information refer to engine owner's manual.

4.

Recoil Starter (pull rope) – Manual-starting method. Pull

 

the starter grip until resistance is felt, then pull briskly and

 

smoothly.

5.

Fuel Valve Lever – OPEN to let fuel flow, CLOSE to stop

 

the flow of fuel.

6.

Air Cleaner – Prevents dirt and other debris from entering

 

the fuel system. Remove wing-nut on top of air filter

 

cannister to gain access to filter element.

Operating the engine without an

NOTEair filter, with a damaged air filter, or a filter in need of replacement will allow dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear.

7. Muffler – Used to reduce noise and emissions.

CAUTION - Burn Hazard

Enginecomponentscangenerateextremeheat. To prevent burns, DO NOT touch these areas while the engine is running or immediately after operating. NEVER operate the engine with the muffler removed.

8. Choke Lever – Used in the starting of a cold engine, or in cold weather conditions. The choke enriches the fuel mixture.

9. Engine ON/OFF Switch – ON position permits engine starting, OFF position stops engine operations.

10. Spark Plug – Provides spark to the ignition system. Set spark plug gap to 0.6 - 0.7 mm (0.028 - 0.031 inch) Clean spark plug once a week.

11. Oil Dipstick /Filler Port– Remove to determine the amount oil in engine crankcase. Add oil through this filler port.

12. Oil Sensor– In the event of low oil, this sensor will automatically shut-down the engine.

13. Oil Drain Plug– Remove to drain crankcase oil.
