Four maintenance tasks that must be done before winter storage of Robin Engine


Winter temperatures are getting lower and lower, and many projects such as flooring construction, road maintenance and lawn mowers has stop working. After the winter shutdown, it is common to see some workers do not do any processing, the cement smoother, road cutter, lawn mower and other gasoline-powered equipment like Robin Engine, especially small gasoline engine directly into the warehouse "hibernation".


Unbeknownst to them, this kind of operation is creating failures and increasing maintenance costs on Robin Engine, Robin Pump and Robin Generator next year!


Robin small gasoline engine that hibernates without any treatment is likely to fail to start next spring. Robin engine parts like carburetors and spark plugs, among other things, can simply cause the robin engine "dead" in the spring.


The following four actions are essential if you want your gasoline engine to start perfectly and run consistently next spring.


Empty gasoline from the fuel line in Robin Engine

Generally speaking, gasoline will oxidize and deteriorate when left for more than 30 days, especially ethanol gasoline. Deteriorated gasoline will form acid and gum deposits in the fuel system in the Robin Engine (including the Robin carburetor). These deposits will adhere to the Robin carburetor needle valve, nozzle and other Robin internal parts, causing carburetor clogging, resulting in starting difficulties, power loss, accelerated stalling and other problems.


Therefore, when the Robin small gasoline engine will not be sustainable, you should empty the gasoline in the Robin Engine's fuel tank, Robin Engine's fuel pipe and Robin Engine's carburetor. The way to do this is to unscrew the drain bolt at the bottom of the Robin Engine carburetor and completely drain the gasoline from the tank and carburetor into a safe container.


If you find it troublesome to drain the gasoline, then you also have the option of adding a gasoline stabilizer to your fuel tank of your Robin Engine. Gasoline stabilizer is a chemical additive that prevents gasoline from going bad.


Gasoline stabilizers are very easy to use. Before not using the Robin engine for a long time, just add the right amount of gasoline stabilizer to the gasoline in the tank and run the Robin engine for 2 minutes so that the stabilizer flows through the entire Robin engine fuel system, then that gasoline won't go bad.



Change the old oil

After a long time of use, the oil gradually loses its lubricating properties due to high temperature oxidation, and there is also a lot of metal shavings or abrasives formed by the deposition of oxidized substances. If not regularly replaced, these failures and abrasives will greatly accelerate Robin engine wear and reduce engine life.


Before changing the oil, let the Robin engine run for a minute, and then turn off the engine and stop the engine, the purpose is to stir the engine oil and impurities within the Robin engine, easy to discharge. Unscrew the dipstick (A) and oil drain bolt (B), and drain all the old engine oil from the oil drain port (B). Then tighten the oil drain bolt (B) and add new oil from the filler neck (C).

The Robin engine should be leveled when adding oil. The oil added should not be too much or too little. After the oil is added, the oil level should be at the top of the dipstick scale.


Maintaining or Replacing Spark Plugs

As the spark plug works in the combustion chamber of the Robin engine, it is in the harsh environment of high temperature and high pressure for a long time, and belongs to the fragile parts, if it is still used after exceeding the economic life, it is not conducive to the Robin engine's dynamics and economy, and it should be replaced in time.


When maintaining, use a steel wire ball to gently remove the carbon on the spark plug electrode.


Small gasoline engines need to replace the spark plug at least once a year. Genuine spark plugs are determined after rigorous and complex experiments to ensure that the engine performs as designed. The use of non-genuine spark plugs will have an impact on the Robin engine's power, fuel consumption, emissions and longevity, and can easily lead to problems such as severe carbon buildup on the spark plug. Therefore, it is essential to choose original Robin spark plugs when replacing spark plugs.


Clean or replace the Robin Engine's air filter element

In order to prevent impurity particles in the air from entering the Robin engine carburetor and Robin Engine cylinders, and to avoid the resulting abnormal wear and tear of the engine and carburetor clogging and other failures, the Robin engine must be cleaned of dust on the air filter and replace the air filter element on a regular basis.


For maintenance, pick up the paper filter element and gently tap the ground to shake off the dust on the filter element. If too much dust is found, or if the inside of the filter element shows signs of dust entry, it should be replaced immediately. Sponge cartridges can be cleaned, but they must be dried before they are fitted together with the paper cartridge, otherwise the paper cartridge's filter paper will be damaged.

Counterfeit air filters have poor work, uneven mesh and poor sealing of the filter paper, which do not provide a good filtration effect and often lead to abrasive material can enter the engine, thus causing engine failure.


When changing the air filter, the original air filter should be used absolutely. The original air filter can effectively reduce the cost of engine maintenance and cost of lost labor, to ensure that the engine life.


Tips

In addition to the above 4 operations, before storing the Robin gasoline engine for the winter, you should also remove dirt, grass clippings and other spoils from the Robin engine cylinders, heads, fins, air guides and mufflers to prevent clogging and possible rusting caused by dirt. When storing, the Robin engine should be kept in a cool, dry place.
