Subaru Robin EH90 - Manual (Page 7)

Use only high quality detergent oil rated with an API service
classifi cation SJ or higher. DO NOT use oil designated “For
Diesel Engines Only”. The use of a multi-weight oil (10W-30)
may result in higher than normal oil consumption. Therefore,
checking the oil level more frequently may be required.
The recommended oil weights include the following:
• During summer months: SAE30. An acceptable substitute
is SAE 10W-30. After fi rst oil change, synthetic oil is
acceptable.
• During winter months: SAE 5W-30, or after the fi rst oil
change, synthetic 5W-30 can be used. DO NOT USE SAE
10W-40.
CHANGE OIL
Use no special additives. Make sure that the unit is level
when fi lling with oil. DO NOT OVERFILL.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT OVERFILL. Check and maintain
oil level regularly. Change oil and fi lter after fi rst eight (8)
hours of operation. Thereafter, change oil and fi lter every
100 hours of operation. Change oil more often if engine is
operated in dirty or dusty conditions or if engine is operated
under heavy loads or in high ambient air temperatures.
RECOMMENDED FUEL TYPE
The fuel tank is provided separately from the Equipment
manufacturer.
Do not overfi ll the fuel tank. Always allow room for fuel
expansion.
OIL AND FUEL INFORMATION
NOTE:
Be sure to read these instructions carefully before
attempting to start or operate this equipment. Using old
or improper oil or fuel can cause engine damage.
Any attempt to crank or start the engine before
it has been properly serviced with the
recommended oil may result in engine damage.
This engine is shipped from the manufacturer
without oil. Check oil level before starting
engine. The engine will be damaged beyond
repair and will not be covered under warranty if
started without oil.
RECOMMENDED OIL TYPE
Using the proper type and weight of oil in the crankcase
is extremely important. Check the oil before each use and
change the oil regularly (see Figure 1). Failure to use the
correct oil, or using dirty oil, can cause premature engine
wear and failure.
