Refer to the Robin Engine owner’s
manual supplied with your
VMG-1750BP for engine
maintenance schedules and
detailed operating instructions.
To start the VMG-1750BP Gasoline Power Unit:
1. Remove any accumulated dirt or debris, especially from around the muffler
and recoil starter.
2. Check that all shields and covers are in place and all nuts, bolts, and screws
are tight.
3. Inspect the throttle, engine kill switch, and swivel joint, where the engine is
attached to the frame, to make sure they are in working order.
4. Check the engine oil level. Add oil if necessary.
5. Check the air filter. A dirty air filter will restrict airflow to the carburetor,
reducing engine performance.
6. Be sure the tank is full with fresh unleaded gasoline with a pump octane
rating of 86 or higher. Do not over fill the tank.
7. Place the VMG-1750BP on an elevated surface high enough to allow the
operator to put on the unit easily after starting.
8. Pump the fuel bulb on the carburetor to ensure fuel is in the float bowl.
9. For a cold engine, move the choke lever to the CLOSED position. To restart
a warm engine, leave the choke lever in the OPEN position.
10. Turn the red engine ignition switch to the ON position.
11. Place the throttle lever in the SLOW position.
12. Hold the VMG-1750BP unit in place with one hand. Pull the starter grip
lightly until you feel resistance, then pull briskly. Return the starter grip
SLOWLY to its initial position.
4.
CAUTION
Do NOT start the engine with the throttle lever in the FAST position. This
will engage the vibrator head as soon as the engine starts. Running the
vibrator head in air without regularly submersing it in the concrete will overheat the bearings.
