mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its
operation. A guard or other part that is damaged must
be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center to avoid risk of personal injury.
wARNING:
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below, may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Never leave tool running unattended. Turn power off.
Know your tool. Read the operator’s manual carefully.
Learn the machine’s applications and limitations as well
as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.
Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
Keep the engine free of grass, leaves, or grease to
reduce the chance of a fire hazard.
Keep guards in place and in working order. Never oper-
ate the tool with any guard or cover removed. Make sure
all guards are operating properly before each use.
Keep the exhaust pipe free of foreign objects.
Follow manufacturer’s recommendations for safe
loading, unloading, transport, and storage of
machine.
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form habit of
checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are
removed from tool before turning it on.
Be thoroughly familiar with controls. Know how to stop
the product and bleed pressure quickly.
To reduce the risk of injury, keep children and visitors
away. All visitors should wear safety glasses and be kept
a safe distance from work area.
Keep tool dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use
brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any
solvents to clean tool.
Keep the area of operation clear of all persons,
particularly small children, and pets.
Stay alert and exercise control. Watch what you are
doing and use common sense. Do not operate tool when
you are tired. Do not rush.
Do not operate the engine in a confined space where
dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.
Carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, and extremely
dangerous gas, can cause unconsciousness or death.
Do not operate the product while under the influence
of drugs, alcohol, or any medication.
Use right tool. Don’t force tool or attachment to do a
job it was not designed for. Don’t use it for a purpose not
intended.
Check the work area before each use. Remove all
objects such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or string
which can be thrown or become entangled in the
machine.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, neckties,
or jewelry that can get caught and draw you into moving
parts. Rubber gloves and nonskid footwear are recom-
mended when working outdoors. Also wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it off. Have
defective switches replaced by an authorized service
center.
Do not operate the equipment while barefoot or when
wearing sandals or similar lightweight footwear. Wear
protective footwear that will protect your feet and improve
your footing on slippery surfaces.
Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, shut off the
engine and make certain all moving parts have stopped.
Disconnect the spark plug wire, and keep the wire away
from the plug to prevent accidental starting.
Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling.
Avoid dangerous environment. Don’t use in damp or
wet locations or expose to rain. Keep work area well
lit.
Always wear safety glasses with side shields. Everyday
eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses; they are
NOT safety glasses.
Never use in an explosive atmosphere. Normal
sparking of the motor could ignite fumes.
Don’t overreach or stand on unstable support. Keep
proper footing and balance at all times.
Do not operate while smoking or near an open
flame.
Use only recommended accessories. The use of
improper accessories may cause risk of injury.
Do not operate around dry brush, twigs, cloth rags, or
other flammable materials.

Select the right nozzle for the job:
• Use medium pressure nozzle (green) for items such as
a car or boat.
• Use higher pressure nozzle for jobs such as stripping
paint and degreasing the driveway. When using these
nozzles, test a small area first to avoid surface damage.
Start at the top of the area to be rinsed and work down,
overlapping the strokes.

MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
See Figure 23.
wARNING:
A dirty air filter will cause starting difficulty, loss of
performance, and shorten the life span of the engine. Check
the air filter monthly. For best performance, replace the air
filter at least once a year.
When servicing, use only identical replacement
parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard
or cause product damage.
Push the tab on the air filter cover to open, then remove
the air filter cover.
wARNING:
Lift the edge of the air filter carefully and pull it out.
Wash the air filter with warm, soapy water.
Rinse and squeeze to dry.
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with
side shields during power tool operation or when
blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a
dust mask.
Put small amount of motor oil (SAE 30 or SAE 10W30) on
the filter sponge. Squeeze out the excess oil then reinstall
the air filter.
wARNING:
NOTE: Make sure the filter is seated properly inside the
cover. Installing the filter incorrectly will allow dirt to enter
the engine, causing rapid engine wear.
Before inspecting, cleaning or servicing the ma-
chine, shut off engine, wait for all moving parts to
stop, and disconnect spark plug wire and move
it away from spark plug. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in serious personal injury or
property damage.
Reinstall the air filter cover.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.

filter
wARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petro-
leum-based products, penetrating oils, etc., come
in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can dam-
age, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in
serious personal injury.
Only the parts shown on the parts list are intended to be
repaired or replaced by the customer. All other parts should
be replaced at an authorized service center.
Before running the engine, perform the following pre-
operation steps:
Check that all bolts, nuts, etc., are securely tightened.
Fig. ꢀ3
Make sure the air filter is clean.
Check both the engine oil level and the fuel tank level;
refill as needed.
Inspect the work area for hazards.
If there is excessive noise or vibration, stop the unit
immediately.

MAINTENANCE
CHANGING THE OIL
See Figure 24.
Place a container under the pressure washer.
Remove the oil drain plug and drain the old oil.
NOTE: Drain the oil while the engine is still warm but not
hot. Warm oil will drain quickly and more completely.
Replace the oil drain plug.
Replace the oil with new, clean oil. This engine will hold
ꢀ0 oz. or .6 liters of oil (SAE 30 or SAE 10W30).
NOTE: Consult hazardous waste management guidelines in
your area for the proper way to dispose of used oil.
CHECKING A FOULED SPARK PLUG
See Figure 25.
Clean carbon deposits off the spark plug electrode using
a plug cleaner or wire brush.
Check electrode gap. The gap should be .6 mm - .7 mm.
Adjust the gap, if necessary, by carefully bending the side
electrode.

HIGH ALTITUDE ENGINE OPERATION
Please have an authorized Robin America service dealer modify this engine if it is to be run continuously above 5000 feet (1500
meters). Failure to do so, may result in poor engine performance, spark plug fouling, hard starting, and increased emissions.
Carburetor modification by an authorized Robin America service dealer will improve performance and allow that this engine meets
EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and California ARB (Air Resources Board) emission standards throughout its useful life.
An engine converted for high altitudes can not be run at 5000 feet or lower. In doing so, the engine will overheat and cause
serious engine damage. Please have an authorized Robin America service dealer restore high altitude modified engines to the original
factory specification before operating below 5000 feet.
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).
