Combining advanced technology
with experienced craftsmanship, Subaru Robin’s
EX Series engines are leading the industry.
With four models ranging from 4.5- to 9-horsepower, these engines are superior to competitors in the same class. After all,
it’s the first air-cooled engine line to use advanced chain-driven overhead cam (OHC) technology to ensure more power, less
noise and easy, one-pull starting every time.
KEY FEATURES
BENEFITS
Subaru Robin’s EX Series engines take technology to the extreme. Using chain-driven
overhead cam (OHC) technology, these workhorses provide maximum efficiency,
performance and power, along with minimal noise and emissions.
Extremely easy starting with no kick-back:
• An automatic decompression system offers easier starting, reducing the required pulling force
by 30 to 40 percent.
• EX engines start instantly even at temperatures as cold as -10 C without any
perceptible kick-back.
These engines take a lot of abuse, which is why they were built with
longevity in mind. A cooler running design and heavy-duty interior parts
ensure maximum uptime. When maintenance is performed, EX Series
engines require no special tools and have high parts commonality
between models.
More power means superior performance:
• Pent roof combustion chamber allows for a high compression ratio of up to 9:1.
Less noise:
• 33 percent fewer moving valve train parts than OHV designs and reduced mechanical
noise ensures noise levels a full 2 dbA below competitive models.
• The patent-pending cooling design features a slanted cylinder
and 360-degree airflow around both the exhaust and intake
valve stem areas.
• Heavy-duty piston rings and a cast-iron cylinder liner resist
wear and ensure a long engine life.
• A case-hardened steel timing chain allows for precision timing
and maximum durability.

RAMMER
Light weight, yet durable
and packed with power.
Designed specifically for rammer applications, these engines feature overhead valve (OHV) upright cylinder technology to provide
continuous rated power for demanding rammer applications. Rammer engines are easy starting and lightweight, yet built for high
power, high stress and high performance.
KEY FEATURES
BENEFITS
Ideally balanced, the engine’s upright cylinder reduces swinging movement
and vibration, resulting in less operator fatigue. The cylinder’s vibratory force
moves in the same direction as the rammer itself increasing momentum.
Built with a vibration-proof breather mechanism, thick sheet metal,
and reinforced casting parts with thick walls and ribs, rammer engines
are durable to withstand demanding environments.
• Electronic ignition with automatic timing adjustment
for easier starting.
• Lightweight design increases mobility.
• Vibration-proof breather mechanism maintains separation
between oil and breather air enabling any position operation
and transportation without concern for contamination.

4 Specific rammer design
Rammers present a special engineering challenge. The engine must withstand both the vibration of the compactive force
and the high dirt and dust environment. Additionally, rammer engines require a high degree of specialized design to integrate
with the rest of the machine for maximum performance. The rammer designs require that the entire machine be balanced
on the center of the foot in both the front to back axis and side to side axis. Since the engine is mounted to the side of the
leg of the rammer, the lesser the width (W) of the engine the less the rammer needs to be angled (A) forward to balance the
machine over the foot. As the rammer angle (A) is increased, the compaction force (F1) that impacts the ground is reduced
and the backward force (F2) increases – propelling the rammer forward and reducing compactive force. To maximize the
compaction force, Subaru rammer engines are designed specifically for rammer applications. All Subaru rammer engines
are balanced close to the mounting face and also are balanced on the side to side axis for best compaction performance and
easy operation.

MICRO 4-CYCLE
Try not to let the
name mislead you.
For as small as the Micro engines are in size, they’re more than huge in power and performance. The lightest and most compact
engine series in its class, Subaru Robin’s Micro engines showcase advanced technology and engine design all in one compact,
efficient unit.
Easy-to-carry Micros are ideal for handheld equipment, such as backpack
blowers, mini-tillers, water pumps and cement screeds, among many other
applications. At just 8 pounds, these quiet, compact engines are easy to
maneuver and maintain. The result is less operator effort and fatigue, which
ultimately means higher productivity.
With high torque and horsepower output, these state-of-the-art compact
engines provide a lot of bang for the buck. The Micros feature quick
throttle response and a wide rpm range with low vibration. The unique
lubrication system with a separate oil chamber ensures smooth and
stable running throughout a full range of operating positions.
• Introduced as the lightest and most compact 4-cycle engine
in its class.
• The unique lubrication system, with a separate oil chamber,
guarantees a smooth, stable-running engine throughout a wide
range of operating positions.
• The Micro 4-cycle OHV design combined with an automatic
decompression system provides an easy pull and reliable starting.
• Quick throttle response and wide rpm range meet the
requirements of demanding applications.
• Compared to a 2-cycle engine, the Micro 4-cycle OHV design
emits one-tenth the emissions and uses half as much fuel.
• Heavy-duty crankcase design with hard chromium plate cylinder
and forged steel rocker arm ensures maximum reliability.
ULTRA LIGHT AND WELL BALANCED
POWERFUL AND RESPONSIVE
LUBRICATION SYSTEM
The Subaru Micro engines are designed to run in a wide range of positions.
The patented oil lubrication system is elegant in its engineering simplicity.
The natural pressure changes in the crankcase caused by the piston
movement in the cylinder are harnessed to pump the oil throughout the
engine. Oil is pumped from a reservoir in the base of the engine through
a network of one-way valves for reliable lubrication and long engine life
without the need to keep the engine level.
