Further details on checking and adding oil, including information on the type and amount of
oil, are given in a separate manual provided by the engine manufacturer.

SPARK PLUG MAINTENANCE
For perfect engine operation, the spark plug must be correctly installed and cleaned of deposits.

- If the engine has been running shortly before inspection and replacement, the spark plug
is very hot. Be careful not to burn yourself.
Disconnect the spark plug cable and remove the plug with a spark plug
wrench.

has a broken or scaled insulator, it must be replaced.
If the plug is soiled or just mildly worn, it must be carefully cleaned with an
appropriate (copper) wire brush.

After maintenance or replacement, properly tighten the plug. An improperly
tightened plug gets very hot and can cause serious engine damage.
Inspect, maintain and replace the spark plug according to the instructions given in the
manual provided by the engine manufacturer.
