The spark plug is important for proper engine operation. A good spark plug should be intact, 
free of deposits, and properly gapped. The V-Twin engine in this generator has two spark plugs, 
one on each side. Both plugs are located just underneath the OHV covers.

Improper maintenance may cause reduced fuel economy, misfires, trouble starting, or damage 
to the spark plug threads.

Spark Plug Maintenance

Remove spark plug cap

Remove spark plug

Inspect spark plug

Pull on the spark plug cap to remove it.

Unscrew the spark plug from the generator using the spark 

plug wrench included with this product.

Visually inspect the spark plug. If it is cracked or chipped, 

discard and replace with a new spark plug. We recommend 

using a F6RTC spark plug such as NGK BPR5ES.
