CLEANING OR REPLACING THE SPARK PLUG
2a Once the engine has cooled, pull off the spark plug boot
with a twist. Remove the spark plug using the socket spanner
supplied.
2b Clean the plug with a wire brush.
2c Using a feeler gauge, set the gap to 0.7mm.
2d Install the spark plug carefully by hand to avoid
cross-threading.
2e After the spark plug is seated, tighten with the spanner to
compress the washer.
CHANGING THE OIL
Tilt the lawnmower towards the oil filler, have a container
ready to catch the oil, and remove the dipstick. Once the oil
has been emptied, wipe clean any spillages.
Refill with 400ml SAE 30 oil or equivalent, i.e. SAE 5W/30, SAE
10W/30). When the dipstick is rested on the filler pipe, the
oil level must be between the min. and max. marks on the
dipstick.
See ‘Filling with Engine Oil’. Do not overfill.
Start the engine and allow it to run briefly.
Stop the engine, wait one minute and check the oil level. Top
up if necessary.
