NOTICE
FEDERAL EMISSION COMPONENT DEFECT WARRANTY and CALIFORNIA
EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY are applicable to only those engines
complied with EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and CARB (California
Air Resources Board) emission regulations in the U.S.A.
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).
Descriptive Term Applicable to Emissions Durability Period
Moderate - 50 hours (engine from 0 to 65 cc)
125 hours (engine greater than 65 cc)
Intermediate - 125 hours (engine from 0 to 65 cc)
250 hours (engine greater than 65 cc)
Extended - 300 hours (engine from 0 to 65 cc)
500 hours (engine greater than 65 cc)
Notice : This hangtag must remain on this engine or piece of equipment, and
only be removed by the ultimate purchaser before operation.
The engine exhaust from this product contains
chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm.
WARNING:
NOTICE
To the engines exported to and used in the countries other than the U.S.A.,
warranty service shall be performed by the distributor in each country in accor-
dance with the standard Robin engine warranty policy as applicable.

EXHAUST PRECAUTIONS
■Never inhale exhaust gas.
It contains carbon monoxide, a color-
less, odorless and extremely danger-
ous gas which can cause uncon-
sciousness or death.
■Never operate the engine indoors or
in a poorly ventilated area, such as
tunnel, cave, etc.
■Exercise extreme care when operat-
ing the engine near people or
animals.
■Keep the exhaust pipe free of foreign
objects.
1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
FIRE PREVENTION
■Do not operate while smoking or near
an open flame.
■Do not use around dry brush, twigs,
cloth rags, or other flammable materi-
als.
■Keep the engine at least 3 feet
(1 meter) away from buildings or
other structures.
■Keep the engine away from flamma-
bles and other hazardous materials
(trash, rags, lubricants, explosives).
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

WarrntyEH72DEPA/CARBFORRMI02.7.127:38PMページ1

SURROUNDINGS
■Operate the engine on a stable, level
surface free of small rocks, loose
gravel, etc.
−2−
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 the 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.
NOTE
Operating the engine at a steep
incline may cause seizure due to
improper lubrication even with a
maximum oil level.
WarrntyEH72DEPA/CARBFORRMI02.7.127:38PMページ2

PRE-OPERATION CHECKS .
■Carefully check fuel hoses and
connections for looseness and fuel
leakage. Leaking fuel creates a
potentially dangerous situation.

CHECK FUEL
■The fuel tank shall be provided sepa-
rately, because the engine is not
equipped with a fuel tank.
A fuel valve and fuel filter should be
connected between the fuel tank and
fuel pump.
Securely connect with fuel hoses to
the fuel pump to prevent leakage.
■Fuel tank may be mounted up to .66
meters (2 feet) below the carburetor.
If the fuel tank is mounted above the
carburetor, a fuel shut off valve must
be connected between the fuel tank
and fuel pump. The fuel valve must
be shut off when the engine is not
operating to prevent fuel from flood-
ing the carburetor.
■A serious accident may occur if the
fuel hose comes off. Properly secure
the fuel line connections by
completely inserting the hose onto
the fittings and securing the connec-
tion with a hose clamp.
■Use unleaded gasoline only.
■Stop the engine and close the fuel
valve before filling the fuel tank.
■Wipe off any spilled fuel before start-
ing the engine.
WARNING
Do not refuel while smoking, near
an open flame or other potential
hazards.
