OVERHEAD CAM
BENEFITS
Combining advanced technology
with experienced craftsmanship, Subaru Robin’s
EX Series engines are leading the industry.
With four models ranging from 4.5- to 9-horsepower, these engines are superior to competitors in the same class. After all,
it’s the first air-cooled engine line to use advanced chain-driven overhead cam (OHC) technology to ensure more power, less
noise and easy, one-pull starting every time.
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
Subaru Robin’s EX Series engines take technology to the extreme. Using chain-driven
overhead cam (OHC) technology, these workhorses provide maximum efficiency,
performance and power, along with minimal noise and emissions.
Extremely easy starting with no kick-back:
• An automatic decompression system offers easier starting, reducing the required pulling force
by 30 to 40 percent.
• EX engines start instantly even at temperatures as cold as -10 C without any
perceptible kick-back.
More power means superior performance:
• Pent roof combustion chamber allows for a high compression ratio of up to 9:1.

RAMMER
BENEFITS
Light weight, yet durable
and packed with power.
Designed specifically for rammer applications, these engines feature overhead valve (OHV) upright cylinder technology to provide
continuous rated power for demanding rammer applications. Rammer engines are easy starting and lightweight, yet built for high
power, high stress and high performance.
DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR RAMMERS
Ideally balanced, the engine’s upright cylinder reduces swinging movement
and vibration, resulting in less operator fatigue. The cylinder’s vibratory force
moves in the same direction as the rammer itself increasing momentum.
REINFORCED POWER
Built with a vibration-proof breather mechanism, thick sheet metal,
and reinforced casting parts with thick walls and ribs, rammer engines
are durable to withstand demanding environments.
RAMMER ENGINE
• Electronic ignition with automatic timing adjustment
between oil and breather air enabling any position operation
and transportation without concern for contamination.
• Reinforced casting parts are strong enough to endure
the toughest conditions.
• Heavy-duty casing with cross bracing ensures durability
in demanding rammer applications.
KEY FEATURES
1 Cast-iron cylinder liners
2 Dual ball bearing crankshaft support
#1 - Aluminum alloy block
with cast-iron cylinder liners
for durability.
#2 - Dual ball bearing crankshaft
support provides reliable
performance even in demanding
rammer applications.
#3 - Vertical cylinder design
maintains an excellent center
of gravity to efficiently transmit
power to the ground, ensuring
performance second to none.
Rammers present a special engineering challenge. The engine must withstand both the vibration of the compactive force
and the high dirt and dust environment. Additionally, rammer engines require a high degree of specialized design to integrate
with the rest of the machine for maximum performance. The rammer designs require that the entire machine be balanced
on the center of the foot in both the front to back axis and side to side axis. Since the engine is mounted to the side of the
leg of the rammer, the lesser the width (W) of the engine the less the rammer needs to be angled (A) forward to balance the
machine over the foot. As the rammer angle (A) is increased, the compaction force (F1) that impacts the ground is reduced
and the backward force (F2) increases – propelling the rammer forward and reducing compactive force. To maximize the
compaction force, Subaru rammer engines are designed specifically for rammer applications. All Subaru rammer engines
are balanced close to the mounting face and also are balanced on the side to side axis for best compaction performance and
easy operation.

MICRO 4-CYCLE
Try not to let the
name mislead you.
For as small as the Micro engines are in size, they’re more than huge in power and performance. The lightest and most compact
engine series in its class, Subaru Robin’s Micro engines showcase advanced technology and engine design all in one compact,
efficient unit.
ULTRA LIGHT AND WELL BALANCED
Easy-to-carry Micros are ideal for handheld equipment, such as backpack
blowers, mini-tillers, water pumps and cement screeds, among many other
applications. At just 8 pounds, these quiet, compact engines are easy to
maneuver and maintain. The result is less operator effort and fatigue, which
ultimately means higher productivity.
POWERFUL AND RESPONSIVE
With high torque and horsepower output, these state-of-the-art compact
engines provide a lot of bang for the buck. The Micros feature quick
throttle response and a wide rpm range with low vibration. The unique
lubrication system with a separate oil chamber ensures smooth and
stable running throughout a full range of operating positions.
LUBRICATION SYSTEM
The Subaru Micro engines are designed to run in a wide range of positions.
The patented oil lubrication system is elegant in its engineering simplicity.
The natural pressure changes in the crankcase caused by the piston
movement in the cylinder are harnessed to pump the oil throughout the
engine. Oil is pumped from a reservoir in the base of the engine through
a network of one-way valves for reliable lubrication and long engine life
without the need to keep the engine level.
