As the engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in

maintenance on your engine, but ROBIN AMERICA cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of
receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
As the engine owner, you should however be aware that ROBIN AMERICA may deny warranty
coverage if your engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or
unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your engine to the nearest service dealer authorized by ROBIN
AMERICA when a problem exists.

These receipts and maintenance records should be transferred to each subsequent owner of the

properly maintained. Warranty claims will not be denied, however, solely because of the lack of
required maintenance or failure to keep maintenance records.

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please make sure you review each precaution carefully.
EXHAUST PRECAUTIONS
●Never inhale exhaust gasses.
They contain carbon monoxide, a
colorless, odorless and extremely
dangerous gas which can cause
unconsciousness or death.
●Never operate the engine indoors or in
a poorly ventilated area, such as
tunnel, cave, etc.
●Exercise extreme care when operating
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 the engine while
smoking or near an open flame.
●Do not use around dry brush, twigs,
cloth rags, or other flammable
materials.
●Keep the engine at least 3 feet (1
meter) away from buildings or other
structures.
●Keep the engine away from
flammables and other hazardous
materials (trash, rags, lubricants,
explosives).

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 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
.
●
Operate the engine on a level surface.
If the engine is tilted, fuel spillage
may result.
NOTE
Operating the engine at a steep incline
may cause seizure due to improper
lubrication even with a maximum oil
level.

PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
●Carefully check fuel hoses and joints
for looseness and fuel leakage.
Leaked fuel creates a potentially
dangerous situation.
●Check bolts and nuts for looseness.
A loose bolt or nut may cause serious
engine trouble.
●Check the engine oil and refill if
necessary.
●Check the fuel level and refill if
necessary.
Take care not to 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.
●Be careful of fuel spillage when
transporting the engine.
Tighten the fuel tank cap securely
and close the fuel strainer cock
before transport.
●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).
