REPLACING THE SPARK PLUG
CAUTION:
Do not sand blast, scrape, or
clean electrodes. Grit in the engine could
damage the cylinder.
Use a replacement part number 753-05784. The correct spark gap
is 0.025 in. (0.635 mm). Remove the plug after every 25 hours of
operation and check its condition.
1. Stop the engine and allow it to cool.
2. Grasp the plug boot firmly and pull the cap from the spark plug.
3. Clean dirt from around the spark plug. Remove the spark plug
from the cylinder head by turning a 5/8 in. socket
counterclockwise.
4. Replace cracked, fouled or dirty spark plug. Set the spark
gap at 0.025 in. (0.635 mm) using a feeler gauge (Fig. 19).
5. Install a correctly-gapped spark plug in the cylinder head.
Turn the 5/8 in. socket clockwise until snug.
If using a torque wrench, torque to:
110-120 in.•lb. (12.3-13.5 N•m)
Do not over tighten.
6. Reinstall the spark plug boot.

CLEANING
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always turn your unit off and allow it to
cool before you clean or do any maintenance on it.
Use a small brush to clean off the outside of the unit. Do not use strong detergents. Household cleaners
that contain aromatic oils such as pine and lemon, and solvents such as kerosene, can damage plastic
housing or handle. Wipe off any moisture with a soft cloth.
STORAGE
• Never store the unit with fuel in the tank where fumes may reach an open flame or spark.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing.
• Lock up the unit to prevent unauthorized use or damage.
• Store the unit in a dry, well-ventilated area.
• Store the unit out of the reach of children.
LONG TERM STORAGE
1. Drain all fuel from the fuel tank into a container. Do not use fuel that has been stored for more than
60 days. Dispose of the old fuel in accordance to Federal, State, and Local regulations.
2. Start the engine and allow it to run until it stalls. This ensures that all fuel has been drained from the
carburetor.
3. Allow the engine to cool. Remove the spark plug and put 5 drops of high quality motor oil into the
cylinder. Pull the starter rope slowly to distribute the oil. Reinstall the spark plug.
NOTE: Remove the spark plug and drain all of the oil from the cylinder before attempting to start the
blower after storage.
4. Thoroughly clean the unit and inspect for any loose or damaged parts. Repair or replace damaged
parts and tighten loose screws, nuts or bolts. The unit is ready for storage.

• Allow the engine to cool before transporting.
• Secure the unit while transporting.
