Engine Oil
Checking, Adding and Changing Oil
Check the engine oil level (B) daily with saw fully lowered and
the engine level. See the enclosed Robin manual for more
details.
Use SAE 10W-30 viscosity detergent automotive type with API
service class SE or higher grade oil.
Note:
Engine holds approximately 0.6 quart (0.6 liter) when
changing.
Changing the Oil
Change oil after the first 5 to 8 hours of use.
Thereafter every 50 hours.
ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION MAINTENANCE
The oil drain hose (A) is located at the front of the saw.
1. With the engine OFF but still warm, remove the brass cap
and drain the oil in a pan.
2. Replace the brass cap on the oil drain hose.
3. Fill the engine at the oil fill cap (B) with 0.6 quart (0.6 liter) of
oil. When full, the oil level should be at the high level mark on
the dipstick or to the top of the threads on the engine fill hole.
The engine is equipped with an oil alert system that will stop
the engine if the oil level is low.

Air filter
The air cleaner assembly (C) is a cyclone type on the engine
at the front of the saw. The air cleaner element should be
replaced every 50 hours. Refer to the supplied engine manual
and the “Cyclone Dual-Filter-Element Type” for additional
information.
Transmission oil
Check the transmission oil level daily. The transmission is
accessible from the rear of the saw. The oil reservoir (D)
located on the top of the transmission has an oil level line 1/8”
(3 mm) from the bottom of the reservoir to indicate the proper
fluid level when cold. Use hydraulic oil 20W with viscosity of 68
Mobil DTE 26 or equivalent.
Transmission neutral
With the saw control lever pulled back towards the operator,
the saw should fully stop and not creep or move. To adjust the
transmission neutral position, loosen the lock nut on the cable
end (E) at the transmission. Pull the spring sleeve back and
adjust the swivel until the saw fully stops moving. Tighten the
lock nut.
