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
NNever 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 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
fuel cap is secured to prevent
spillage.
Please make sure you review each precaution carefully.

SURROUNDINGS
Operate the engine on a stable, level
surface free of small rocks, loose
gravel, etc.
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 opera-
tor.
NOTE
Operating the engine at a steep
incline may cause seizure due to
improper lubrication even with a
maximum oil level.

- 3 -
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 seri-
ous 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.
Drain the fuel when transporting
the engine.
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).

CHECK ENGINE OIL
Before checking or refilling engine oil, be
sure the engine is located on a stable, level
surface and stopped.
Do not thread the gauge into oil filler to
check oil level.
If the oil level is below the lower level
line on the dipstick, refill with the proper
oil (see table) up to the upper level (up to
the point of overflowing the filler neck).
OIL CAPACITY EH025 : 80 mL
EH035 :
100 mL
Change oil if it is contaminated.
(See page 11 Maintenance Schedule.)
Use class SF (API classification) or
higher grade oil.
If multi-grade oil is employed, oil
consumption tends to increase when
the ambient temperature is high.
Wipe off any spilled oil before starting
the engine.

5. EASY TROUBLESHOOTING
- 9 -
WHEN ENGINE DOES NOT
START:
Perform the following checks before
you take the engine to your Robin
dealer.
If you still have trouble after complet-
ing the checks, take the engine to
your nearest Robin dealer.
Is there enough compres-
sion?
1. Pull the starter handle slowly and
check if resistance is felt.
2. If little force is required to pull the
starter handle, check if the spark
plug is tightened firmly.
3. If the spark plug is loose, tighten it.
Is the spark plug wet with
gasoline?
1. Choke (close choke lever) and pull
the starter handle five or six times.
Remove the plug and check if its
electrode is wet. If the electrode is
wet, fuel is well supplied to your
engine.
2.When the electrode is dry, check
where the fuel stops.
(Check the fuel intake of the carbure-
tor and fuel strainer intake.)
3. In case the engine does not start
with well supplied fuel, try using
fresh fuel.
Is the engine switch set ON?
