Periodic Maintenance
Keep a log of maintenance performed and the run time hours. Keeping
a record of procedures will help you keep scheduled maintenance and
provide a basis for supporting warranty claims
Maintenance, replacement or repair of emission control devices and
systems may be performed by any engine repair establishment or
individual. However, warranty work must be done completed by an
authorized Robin Subaru dealer or distributor.
DAILY (8 HOUR) MAINTENANCE
The operator should check the following before the fi rst start of the day
and after every eight hours of operation:
1 Inspect fuel lines and fi ttings for leaks. Repair leaks immediately.
2 Look and listen for exhaust system leaks while the engine is
running. Look for cracks and severe rusting in the muffl er and
tailpipe. Have all leaks repaired before continuing to operate the
equipment.
Hot exhaust parts can cause severe burns.
Allow the engine time to cool before servicing
the exhaust system.
3 Check the engine for dirt and debris and clean the fl ywheel air inlet
screen and cylinder cooling fi ns as necessary.
A clogged fl ywheel air inlet screen or dirty cooling
fi ns can cause overheating and engine damage. Keep
the cooling fi ns and air inlet screen clean.
4 Check the engine oil level The equipment must be parked on a level
surface ad the engine stopped. To get an accurate reading, wait a
minute or so to allow the oil to settle in the crankcase if the engine
has been running.
