SPARK PLUG MAINTENANCE

The spark plug must be properly gapped and free of deposits in order to ensure

proper engine operation. If the engine is hot, allow it to cool before servicing the

spark plug (refer to recommended maintenance schedule).

TO INSPECT OR REPLACE THE SPARK PLUG:

1. Unscrew the maintenance cover

knob and remove the cover from

the side panel.

2. Remove the spark plug cap.

3. Use the included spark plug

spanner to unscrew and then

carefully remove the spark plug

from the engine.

NOTE: There is limited space for the

spanner to turn, use the arm

to gain leverage to loosen the

plug.

4. Visually inspect the spark plug. If it is cracked or chipped, or if the electrodes are

worn or burned, discard it and replace with a new spark plug.

5. If re-using the spark plug, use a wire brush to clean any dirt from around the

spark plug base, then re-gap the spark plug.

6. Measure the plug gap with a spark

plug gap gauge. The gap should be

0.7 - 0.8mm (0.028 - 0.031in).

Carefully adjust the gap if necessary.

7. Screw the spark plug back into the

spark plug hole using the spark plug

spanner. DO NOT over-tighten the

spark plug. Recommended tightening

a spark plug is 1/2 to 4/3 of a turn

(15ft/lb torque/20.33Nm) after the spark plug gasket contacts the spark plug

hole.

8. Reinstall the spark plug cap and maintenance cover.

SPARK ARRESTOR MAINTENANCE

Inspect and clean the spark arrestor every 100 hours of operation (refer to

recommended maintenance schedule). The spark arrestor is located outside the

muffler, which gets very hot during operation. Allow the engine and the muffler to

cool completely before servicing the spark arrestor.
