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.



■

Keep cylinder fins and recoil starter free of dirt, grass and other debris.

22

)

1. CONNECT SUCTION HOSE

22

(See Fig.

Use a reinforced-wall or wire braided hose to prevent suction
collapse.

ENGLISH

Since the pump self-priming time is directly proportional to
hose length, a short hose is recommended.

2

22

-

qq

q)

qq

CAUTION

Always use a strainer with the suction hose. Gravel
or debris sucked into the pump will cause serious
damage to the impeller and the pump casting.

2. CONNECT DELIVERY HOSE

22

(See Fig.

When using a fabric hose, always use a hose band to prevent
the hose from disconnecting under high pressure.

FRANÇAISE

3. CHECK ENGINE OIL (See Fig.

Before checking or refilling engine oil, be sure the engine is
located on stable, level surface and stopped.



■

Do not screw the oil gauge into the oil filler neck to check
oil level. If the oil level is low, refill to the upper level with
the following recommended oil.



■

Use 4-stroke automotive detergent oil of API service class
SE or higher grade (SG, SH or SJ is recommended).



■

Select the viscosity based on the air temperature at the
time of operation as shown in the table. (See Fig.2

Refer to “10. SPECIFICATIONS” Page 12 for fuel tank capacity



■

Close the fuel cock before filling the fuel tank.



■

Do not fill above the top of the fuel filter screen (marked w),
or the fuel may overflow when it heats up later and expands.



■

When filling the fuel tank, always use the fuel filter screen.



■

Wipe off any spilled fuel before starting the engine.
(See Fig.2

5. CHECK PRIMING WATER

uu

22

-

(See Fig.

It is recommended that the water chamber of pump casing
should be primed with full of water before operating.

2

WARNING

Never attempt to operate the pump without priming

-

e)

water or the pump will overheat. Extended dry
operation will destroy the mechanical seal.

If the unit has been operated dry, stop the engine
immediately and allow the pump to cool before
adding priming water.

4. OPERATING YOUR PUMP

1. STARTING (See Fig.

(1) Open the fuel cock. (See Fig.3-q)

(2) Turn the STOP SWITCH to the position “

(See Fig.3

(3) Set the speed control lever 1/3 of the way towards the

high speed position. (See Fig.3-e)

(4) Close the choke lever. (See Fig.3



■

If the engine is cold or the ambient temperature is low,
close the choke lever fully.



■

If the engine is warm or the ambient temperature is high,
open the choke lever half-way, or keep it fully open.

(5) Pull the starter handle slowly until resistance is felt. This

is the “compression” point. Return the handle to its
original position and pull swiftly. Do not pull out the rope
all the way. After starting the engine, allow the starter
handle to return to its original position while still holding
the handle. (See Fig.3

(6) After starting the engine, gradually open choke by turning

the choke lever and finally keep it fully opened. Do not
fully open the choke lever immediately when the engine
is cold or the ambient temperature is low, because the
engine may stop. (See Fig.3

-

w)

2. RUNNING (See Fig.

(1) After the engine starts, set the speed control lever at the

low speed position (L) and warm it up without load for a
few minutes.
(See Fig.4

(2) Gradually move the speed control lever toward the high

speed position (H) and set it at the required engine speed.
(See Fig.4



■

Whenever high speed operation is not required, slow the
engine down (idle) by moving the speed control lever to
save fuel and extend engine life.

“

◯ ” (OFF). (See Fig.5-w)

◯◯

(3) Close the fuel cock. (See Fig.5

(4) Pull the starter handle slowly and return the handle to its

original position when resistance is felt. This operation is
necessary to prevent outside moist air from intruding
into the combustion chamber. (See Fig.5

※※

※ STOPPING ENGINE WITH THE FUEL COCK

※※

Close the fuel cock and wait for a while until the engine stops.
Avoid to let the fuel remain in the carburator over long periods,
or the passages of the carburator may become clogged with
impurities, and malfunctions may result.

ENGLISH

TO CONDUCT THE MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS
ON THE EMISSION-RELATED PARTS LISTED BELOW TO
KEEP THE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM EFFECTIVE.

The maintenance schedule indicated in the following table is
based on the normal engine operation.
Should the engine be operated in extremely dusty condition
or in heavier loading condition, the maintenance intervals must
be shortened depending on the contamination of oil, clogging
of filter elements, wear of parts, and so on.

CAUTION

The emission control system consists of the following parts :

(1) Carburetor and internal parts

(2) Cold start enrichment system, if applicable

(3) Intake manifold, if applicable

(4) Air cleaner elements

tt

(See Fig.

A dirty air cleaner element will cause starting difficulty, power
loss, engine malfunctions, and shorten engine life extremely.
Always keep the air cleaner element clean.

WARNING

(1) Urethane Foam Element Type

(See Fig.7

■

Remove the element and wash it in kerosene or diesel
fuel. Then saturate it in a mixture of 3 parts kerosene
or diesel fuel and 1 part engine oil. Squeeze the
element to remove the mixture and install it in the air
cleaner.

(2) Urethane Foam Dual Element Type

(See Fig.7

■

Urethane Foam cleaning (See Fig.7-y-w)

Wash and clean the urethane foam with detergent.
After cleaning, dry it. Clean the urethane foam
element every 50 hours.

■

Second element (See Fig.7-y-q)

Clean by tapping gently to remove dirt and blow off
dust. Never use oil. Clean the paper element every 50
hours of operation, and replace element set every 200
hours.

Clean and replace air cleaner elements more often
when operating in dusty environments.

8. SPARK ARRESTER

(OPTIONAL)

1. SPARK ARRESTER

In a dry or wooded area, it is recommendable to use the
product with a spark arrester. Some areas require the use
of a spark arrester. Please check your local laws and
regulations before operating your product.

The spark arrester must be cleaned regularly to keep it
functioning as designed. A clogged spark arrester:

■

Prevents the flow of exhaust gas

■

Reduces engine output

■

Increases fuel consumption

■

Makes starting difficult

If you do not use the engine more than 1 month, discharge
fuel to prevent gum in the fuel system and carburetor parts.



■

Remove the strainer cup, place the strainer over a
container and open the strainer cock to discharge fuel
from the fuel tank.

FRANÇAISE



■

Remove the drain screw of the carburetor float chamber
and discharge fuel.

4. ENGINE OIL (See Fig.



■

Change the engine oil with fresh oil.



your Robin dealer. If you still have trouble after completing
the checks, take the pump to your nearest Robin dealer.

(1) Is there a strong spark across the electrode ?

■

Is the stop switch at position “ I ” (ON)?

■

Remove and inspect the spark plug.

If the electrode is fouled, clean or replace it with new
one.

■

Remove the spark plug and connect it to the plug cap.

Pull the starter handle while grounding spark plug against
engine body. Try with a new spark plug if the spark is
weak or there is no spark.
The ignition system is faulty if there is no spark with a
new spark plug.

WARNING

■

Wipe out spilled fuel carefully before testing.
Place spark plug as far away from spark plug
hole as possible.

■

Do not hold spark plug by hand while pulling
recoil starter.

NOTE

The engine with oil sensor will stop automatically when
the oil level falls below the prescribed limit.
Unless the oil level is raised above the prescribed limit,
the engine will stop immediately after starting.

(2) Is there enough compression?

Pull the starter handle slowly and check if resistance is
felt. If little force is required to pull the starter handle,
check if the spark plug is tightened firmly. If the spark
plug is loose, tighten it.

(3) Is the spark plug wet with gasoline?

■

Is the fuel cock opened?

■

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.

■

When the electrode is dry, check where the fuel stops.

(Check the fuel intake of the carburetor.)

■

In case the engine does not start with well supplied fuel,

try using fresh fuel.
