INITIAL SERVICING

The engine (Figure 4) must be checked for proper lubrication and filled with fuel prior to operation. Refer to the ROBIN engine service manualforinstructions anddetailsforproperoperationandservicing.

1. Muffler – Used to reduce noise and emissions.

WARNING

Engine components can generate extreme heat.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.

2. 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.

3. Fuel Tank – Holds unleaded gasoline. For additional information refer to ROBIN engine owner's manual.

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

DANGER

5.

Throttle Lever – Used to adjust engine RPM speed (lever

 

advanced forward SLOW, lever back toward operator

 

FAST).

6.

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

 

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

 

smoothly.

7.

Choke Lever – Used in the starting of a cold engine, or in

 

cold weather conditions. The choke enriches the fuel

 

mixture.

8.

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

 

the flow of fuel.

9.

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.

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

11. Oil Drain Plug – Remove this plug to drain engine oil from the crankcase.
