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.

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-10W/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
B
phase and the escape and absorption valves are closed.
Storing the equipment in these conditions prevents
internal corrosion.
