WARNING
The material of the spark plug is metal. It becomes very
hot after you stop the engine. Wait the engine to cool
down before you disassemble the metal spark plug boot
to avoid personal injury.
NOTE:
The engine uses a Champion RCJ6Y spark plug
or equivalent with 0.63 mm electrode gap. Use an exact
replacement and replace the spark plug annually.

pull it away from the housing.

hook.
4. Twist the metal spark plug boot and pull it away from
the spark plug.
Using a combination wrench, loosen the spark plug by
turning it in a counterclockwise direction. Remove the
old spark plug and replace with a new one. Tighten it
in a clockwise direction using the combination wrench,
recommended torque is 23.5 Nm. Assemble back the
metal spark plug boot and the rubber protect boot.
CAUTION

threading will seriously damage the engine.
