Checking the spark plug
The spark plug is one of the most important parts
for operating the motor. If the spark plug is dirtied
or damaged, then this could seriously impact the
starting of the machine as well as the capacity and
efficiency of the motor.
The motor manufacturer suggests using the following spark plugs for Edge Styler motors:
- NGK BPR6 ES
(GX GC )
- DENSO W20 EPR-U
Periodic inspection is essential. This can best be done before using the machine. Otherwise, if it
has just been used, allow the motor to properly cool off before checking the spark plug.
• The spark plug is located in the cylinder head of the motor (see §
6.2.).
• Pull off the cap of the spark plug.
• Clean off the area around the spark plug and rotate it out of the
cylinder head (key size : Imperial 13/16 inches).
• Using a feeler gauge, check whether the distance between elec -
trodes is 0,8 mm.
• If the spark plug is covered in deposits or is dirty, then it should be
replaced.
To verify the ignition quality, the following steps should be taken when
the spark plug has been removed:
• Put the spark plug cap back on.
• Grab the rubber part of spark plug cap and firmly press the outer
-
most part of the electrode against the mass, meaning the cylinder
block of the motor.
• Tug on the recoil starter cable a few times.
• Meanwhile, check for sparks between the two electrodes.
For your information :
When draining off oil, a sufficiently large receptacle should be placed under-
neath the drain plug.
Warning :
The spark plug and all motor parts in its vicinity become extremely hot during
operation. To avoid the risk of burn injury, the motor should always be allowed
to cool off. As a precaution, always wear utility gloves.
