Maintenance
Spark Plug
• Before removing the spark plug (B), wipe clean the area
around the spark plug base to stop dust and debris
entering the motor. Then, using a spark-plug wrench
remove the spark plug.
• Clean the carbon deposits from the spark plug electrodes
using a spark plug cleaner or a wire brush.
• Replace the old spark plug with a new one if damaged,
worn or if in doubt.
• Measure the gap between both electrodes. Use a spark
plug gauge. The distance between the center electrode
and the side electrode shall be between 0.27" and 0.31"
• Check the spark plug washer is in good conditions.
Insert the spark plug manually to prevent maladjustment.
• After setting the spark plug, tighten with a spark plug
wrench to compress the washer.
CAUTION
If installing a new spark plug, tighten
half-a-turn until the spark plug is in place and can press
the washer. If installing a used spark-plug, tighten 1/8 of a
turn after the spark plug is in place and can press the
washer.
WARNING
Improperly installed or out of range
spark plugs cause overheating and damage the motor.
Storing and Transportation
• When moving the equipment, shut down the motor
switch and close the fuel key. Keep the equipment
leveled to prevent fuel spills.
• When storing the equipment long periods of time:
• Drain completely all the fuel as indicated in the previous
paragraph. Then, start the motor until all the fuel inside
the motor is consumed.
• Replace oil as indicated in page 11.
• Remove the spark plug and pour a spoonful of
SAE 10 W-30 oil into the cylinder. Pull the jack-line to
distribute the oil through the system. Set the spark plug
back in place.
• Pull softly the jack-line handle until feeling resistance.
This indicated the cylinder is reaching the compression
phase and the escape and absorption valves are closed.
Storing the equipment in these conditions prevents
internal corrosion.
• Wipe clean the equipment with a damp cloth and
cover it to prevent dust accumulation.
• Store the equipment in a clean, dry place, away from
the reach of children.
