• Clean the spark plug with a wire brush.
• Using a feeler gauge set the gap to 0.51mm.
• Install the spark plug carefully by hand, to avoid cross-
threading.
• After the spark plug is seated, tighten with the spanner
to compress the washer.
Changing the oil
• Running the engine for a few minutes prior to draining will
allow the oil to pour more easily.
• 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 500ml SAE30 oil or equivalent ie SAE5W/30,
SAE10W/30). When the dipstick is screwed into 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.
