- Clean it with a metal brush and check that
the distance between the electrodes is 0.5
-0.6 mm.
This should be done approx. once every
3000 km, while the plug must be changed
once every 6000 km.
- Refit the spark plug, inserting it first by
hand and only using the wrench for the
final tightening.
- Replace the spark plug cover tube (1), ensur-
ing that it has been inserted correctly.
Whenever the spark plug is changed, check the
pitch and the reach of the thread. If the threaded
part is too short, carbon deposits will build up
on the thread seat thereby risking damaging the
engine when the correct spark plug is refitted.
Only use spark plugs of the recommended type,
see page 97 (SPECIFICATIONS), otherwise en-
gine performance and life could be adversely
affected.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND HEADLAMPS
For the diagram of the whole electrical system of
the vehicle, see page 111 (WIRING DIAGRAM).
If you do not have the knowledge or ability to
understand the wiring diagram, it is better to
consult a FANTIC MOTOR Dealer, especially if
any faults occur that necessitate working on the
system.
It is difficult for the electrical system to be dam-
aged.
It is more likely that light bulbs may burn out and
therefore need replacing.
