11.INSTALLATION

Engine life, ease of maintenance and inspection, frequency of checks and repairs, and operating cost all

dependontheway in whichtheengine is installedReviewthefollowinginstructionscarefullyfor. installing the engine.

11-INSTALLING1

When mounting the engine, carefully examine its position, the method of connecting it to a machine, the foundation, and the mehtodof supporting the engine. Whendeterminingitsmountingposition,inparticular,makesurethatgasolineandoilcaneasilybe supplied and checked, the spark plug can easily be checked, the air cleaner can easily be serviced, and

that the oil can easily be discharged.

11-2VENTILATION

Fresh air is necessary for cooling the engine and burning the fuel.

In the case the engine is operated under a hood or in a small room, temperature rise in the engine room can cause vapor lock, oil deterioration, increased oil consumption, loss of power, piston seizure, shorter engine life, etc., making it impossible to operate the engine properly.It is necessary, therefore, to provide a duct or baffle to guide cooling air to the engine to prevent recirculation of he hot air used for engine cooling, and temperature riseof the machine.

Keep the engineroom temperature below 50°C even in the hottest periodof the year.

outdoors. If a long exhaust pipe is used in such a case, the internal resistance increases causing loss of engine power. Thus pipe inside diameter must be increasedin proportion to exhaust pipe length.

Exhaust pipe: Less than 3m long, pipe inside diameter 30mm, Less than 5m long, pipe inside diameter 33mm.

11-4 POWER TRANSMISSION TO DRIVEN MACHINES

11-4-1 BELT DRIVE

Take the following notes into consideration.

*V-belts are preferable to flat belts.

*The driving shaftof the engine must be parallel to the driven shaftof the machine.

*The driving pulleyof the engine must be in line with the driven pulleyofthe machine.

*Install the engine pulley as close to the engine as possible.

*If possible, span the belt horizontally.

*Disengage the load when starting the engine.

If no clutch is used, usea belt tension pulley or the like.

11-4-2FLEXIBLECOUPLING

When using a flexible coupling, runout and misalignment between the driven shaft and engine shaft must be minimized. Runout and misalignment tolerance are specified by the coupling manufacturer.

Its overhead cam design enables better performance at higher RPMs, making it ideal for tasks that require consistent power and reliability.

Moving up in size, the EH17-2 boasts a more robust configuration, making it suitable for semi-professional applications. With a displacement of 169cc, this engine provides higher torque and improved performance for heavier machinery. The EH17-2 also incorporates Subaru’s advanced air filtration technology, which extends engine life and reduces maintenance frequency. This engine is particularly suited for applications such as generators, pressure washers, and other equipment requiring sustained power output.

Finally, the EH25-2 stands as the powerhouse of the series. With a displacement of 252cc, it delivers exceptional torque and horsepower for demanding tasks. The EH25-2 employs Subaru's patented electronic ignition system, offering easy starts and consistent performance in a range of conditions. Its multi-point lubrication system ensures that all engine parts receive adequate oil, resulting in reduced wear and tear over time. Additionally, the EH25-2's rugged construction is designed to withstand vibration and strain, making it ideal for construction and heavy-duty industrial applications.

All three engines share core features such as a user-friendly design, efficient fuel consumption, and compliance with environmental regulations. The engines are also equipped with easy-access maintenance points, helping users perform necessary upkeep without hassle. Whether for a homeowner with occasional needs or a contractor relying on dependable machinery, Subaru's EH series provides powerful and efficient solutions tailored to meet varying demands.
