HIGH ALTITUDE ENGINE OPERATION■

WARRANTY

When warranty repair is needed, the engine must be brought to an authorized service dealer or warranty station’s place of business during normal business hours. In all cases, a reasonable time, not to exceed 30 days, must be allowed for the warranty repair to be completed after the engine is received by the authorized service dealer or warranty station.

MAINTENANCE, REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR OF EMISSION-RELATED PARTS

Only warranted engine replacement parts approved by FUJI should be used in the performance of any warranty maintenance or repairs on emission-related parts. If other than authorized parts are used for maintenance, replacement, or repair of components affecting emission control, you should assure yourself that such parts are warranted by their manufacturer to be equivalent to authorized parts in performance and durability. FUJI, however, assumes no liability under this warranty with respect to parts other than authorized parts. The use of non-authorized replacement parts does not invalidate the warranty on other components unless the non-authorized parts cause damage to warranted parts.

PARTS COVERED UNDER THE CALIFORNIA EMISSIONS WARRANTY

The repair or replacement of any warranted part otherwise eligible for warranty coverage may be excluded from such warranty coverage if FUJI demonstrates that the engine has been abused, neglected,orimproperlymaintained,andthatsuchabuse,neglect,or improper maintenance was the direct cause of the need for repair

or replacement of the part. That notwithstanding, any adjustment of a component that has a factory installed, and properly operating, adjustment limiting device is still eligible for warranty coverage. The following emissions warranty parts list are covered.

(1)Fuel Metering System

(i)Carburetor and internal parts (and/or pressure regulator or fuel injection system)

(ii)Air/fuel ratio feedback and control system, if applicable

(iii)Cold start enrichment system, if applicable.

(iv)Regulator assembly (gaseous fuel, if applicable)

(2)Air Induction System

(i)Intake manifold, if applicable

(ii)Air filter

(3)Ignition System

(i)Spark plugs

(ii)Magneto or electronic ignition system

(iii)Spark advance/retard system, if applicable

(4)Exhaust manifold, if applicable

(5)Evaporation Systems

(i)Fuel lines

(ii)Fuel line fittings

(iii)Carbon canister

(iv)Canister mounting brackets

(v)Carburetor purge port connector

(vi)Fuel tank

(vii)Fuel cap

(viii)Clamps

HIGH ALTITUDE ENGINE OPERATION■

Please have an authorized Robin America service dealer modify this engine if it is to be run continuously above 5000 feet (1500 meters). Failure to do so, may result in poor engine performance, spark plug fouling, hard starting, and increased emissions.■

Carburetor modification by an authorized Robin America service dealer will improve performance and allow that this engine meets EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and California ARB (Air Resources Board) emission standards throughout its useful life.■

An engine converted for high altitudes can not be run at 5000 feet or lower. In doing so, the engine will overheat and cause serious engine damage. Please have an authorized Robin America service dealer restore high altitude modified engines to the original factory specification before operating below 5000 feet.

AIR INDEX

To show compliance with California emission regulations, a hangtag has been provided displaying the Air Index level and durability period of this engine.

The Air Index level defines how clean an engine’s exhaust is over a period of time. A bar graph scaled from “0” (most clean) to “10” (least clean) is used to show an engine’s Air Index level. A lower Air Index level represents cleaner exhaust from an engine. The period of time (in hours) that the Air Index level is measured is known as the durability period. Depending on the size of the engine, a selection of time periods can be used to measure the Air Index level (see below).
