diffi cult to start or runs poorly at idling speed, always
check the spark plug fi rst. If the spark plug is dirty,
clean it and check the electrode gap. Re-adjust
if necessary. The correct gap is 0.024˝ (0.6 mm).
The spark plug should be replaced after about 100
operation hours or earlier if the electrodes are badly
eroded.

NOTE
In some areas, local law requires using a resistor
spark plug to suppress ignition signals. If this
machine was originally equipped with resistor
spark plug, use same type of spark plug for
replacement.

about every 50 hours of operation by removing the
grease fi ller plug on the side of gear case.
If no grease can be seen on the fl anks of the
gears, fi ll the gear case with quality lithium based
multipurpose grease up to 3/4. Do not completely fi ll
the gear case.
CAUTION
● Make sure to remove any dirt or grit when
attaching the plug to its original position.
