FUEL CAP, TANK, AND LINES
WARNING:
Check for fuel leaks. A leaking fuel cap, tank, or lines
are a fire hazard and must be replaced immediately. If
you find any leaks, correct the problem before using the
product. Failure to do so could result in a fire that could
cause serious personal injury.
The fuel cap contains a non-serviceable filter and a check
valve. A clogged fuel filter will cause poor engine perfor-
mance. If performance improves when the fuel cap is loos-
ened, check valve may be faulty or filter clogged. Replace
fuel cap if required.
SPARK PLUG REPLACEMENT
This engine uses a Champion RCJ-6Y, Torch L7RTC, or
equivalent spark plug with .025 in. electrode gap. Use a rec-
ommended or equivalent replacement and replace annually.
NOTICE:
Be careful not to cross-thread the spark plug. Cross-
threading will seriously damage the product.

HIGH ALTITUDE ENGINE OPERATION
Your engine is configured for operation below 2000 feet
altitude at the factory. Your engine must be re-configured
for operation above 2000 feet altitude. Operating the engine
with the wrong engine configuration at a given altitude may
increase its emissions, decrease fuel efficiency, degrade per-
formance and cause irreversible damage. Engines configured
for high altitude operation cannot be operated in standard
altitude conditions. A qualified service center should ensure
that your engine is properly configured for your location.
