Check that the gasket is in good condition. Unscrew the spark plug carefully by hand to
avoid damaging the threading.
•
Tighten the spark plug using the supplied wrench to compress the gasket.
NOTE:
A new spark plug must be turned an extra half a turn after it has been screwed in place to
compress the gasket. A used spark plug must be turned an extra 1/8–1/4 turn after it has been
screwed in place to compress the gasket.
IMPORTANT!
Tighten the spark plug correctly. A loose spark plug can overheat and damage the
engine.
CLEANING THE ENGINE
Let the engine cool for at least 30 minutes before cleaning it. Regularly remove any debris that
collects on the engine.
IMPORTANT!
Never spray the engine with water. This can contaminate the fuel or the water can
get in through the muffler and damage the engine.
WARNING
Remove any deposits from the muffler before use (a fire risk).
WARNING
Avoid contact with moving parts during maintenance tasks that have to be performed
while the engine is running. The muffler, muffler guard and other engine parts can get very hot
during use - risk of burn injuries.
