This Capstan Hoist is equipped with a Robin®4-Cycle
gasoline engine. For proper long term operation, this
information must be followed. Failure to follow this
information may result in damage to the engine or
reduced capacity of the hoist.
Gasoline is highly flammable. Do not smoke or use
near open flame when mixing fuel or when filling the
fuel tank.
▲
!WARNING
The fuel for this engine must be regular unleaded
automobile gasoline.
Do not use gasoline that contains ethanol or
methanol (types of alcohol). Fuels containing alcohol
may damage plastic parts of the fuel system.

!WARNING
Do not make any adjustments to the fuel mixture
screws on the carburetor. The engine was carefully

Preparation and Operation
SEE OTHER SIDE ➡
1. The engine must be stopped and cool before
removing the fuel cap. Fuel spilled on a hot
engine could ignite causing injury and damage to
equipment.
2. Unscrew the fuel cap and carefully fill the tank
to within approximately 1 inch of the top. Do not
over fill. Install the cap and wipe up any spilled
fuel.
3. Push the primer bulb on the bottom of the
carburetor until it is full of fuel.
4. Move the ignition switch to on.
5. For a cold engine, move the choke lever to close.
A warm engine may be started with little or no
choke required.
6. Open the throttle, approximately 1/8 to 1/4, and
pull the starter handle briskly. Pull the handle
only 1/2 to 2/3 of the length of the rope. Pulling
the rope to the full length may damage the
starter mechanism. Return the handle slowly.
Do not let the handle snap back as this may
cause damage to the equipment.
7. After the engine starts, push the choke lever to
the open position. In cold weather, the choke may
have to be moved halfway for a while to keep the
engine running.
8. Warm the engine up by running at a low speed
for two or three minutes. Do not run at high
speed or under load until the engine is warmed
up.
9. Do not run the engine at full throttle when lifting
light loads. Use partial throttle. Excessive R.P.M.
may result in damage to the engine.
10. To stop the engine, reduce to idle, then move the
ignition switch to off. Close the fuel valve to
prevent flooding.
11. Remove any remaining fuel from the tank before
temporary storage.
This hoist uses a 4-cycle engine with oil in the
crankcase. This oil lubricates the internal parts of the
engine. This unit MUST be mounted with the fuel tank
on the bottom and the spark plug up. The axis of the
engine must be vertical within 20°. Failure to mount
the unit in this manner will result in damage to the
engine that is not covered by warranty.
