Check Chute Cables
Once a season or every 25 hours of operation,
whichever is earlier, check whether the chute cables
have slackened. Adjust if necessary, following
instructions on page 20.
Check Spark Plug
Clean spark plug and reset the electrode gap to 0.030"
at least once a season or every 100 hours of operation;
replace every 200 hours of operation.
•
Clean area around the spark plug base.
•
Remove and inspect the spark plug.
•
Replace the spark plug if electrodes are pitted,
burned, or the porcelain is cracked. See Figure 17.
