SETUP
Warning: This engine-run Trencher must never be used indoors, in a house, or any
other sealed structure without proper ventilation. Carbon monoxide is produced dur-
ing operation and is deadly in a closed environment. Early signs of Carbon Monoxide
poisoning resemble the flu, with headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If you have these
signs get fresh air immediately.
Engine Preparation
1. Read and adhere to all Engine instructions and safety warnings in the Robin Subaru
®
Operating Manual.
2. Place the Trencher outdoors where it will be used. This should be on a flat surface and
away from flammable materials.
3. Add 33.8 oz. (about two quarts) of oil to the Engine by removing the Dip Stick and adding
through its hole.
If the area temperature is above freezing, use F-SAE 10W-30 weight oil. If below freez-
ing, use F-SAE 5W-30 weight oil. Use a siphon to avoid spilling the oil. Check the oil
level with the Dip Stick. It should be up to the “Full” mark. Carefully screw the plastic Dip
Stick back into the metal Engine crankcase to avoid stripping the plastic threads on the
Dip Stick.
Caution: Running the engine without oil will permanently damage the engine and void
its warranty.
: Risk of FIRE or EXPLOSION!
• Do not fill the Gas Tank while engine is hot; allow engine to cool before filling.
• Never use a damaged fuel tank!
• Never overfill!
4. Fill the Gas Tank (outdoors) with up to 1-1/2 gallons of unleaded gasoline. Do not top-off
tank.
5. Remove the Oil Plug (89) from the Hydraulic Fluid Reservoir and verify that the reservoir is
properly filled with high quality hydraulic oil. Replace the Oil Plug and securely tighten.
