SPARK PLUG
• Starting failure and mis-firing are often caused
by a fouled spark plug. Clean the spark plug and
check that the plug gap is in the correct range.
For a replacement plug, use the correct type
specified by RedMax. (MA4)
• REPLACEMENT PLUG IS A NGK CMR7A.
• Note that using any spark plug other than those
designated may result in the engine failing to
operate properly or in the engine becoming
overheated and damaged.
• To install the spark plug, first turn the plug until it
is finger tight, then tighten it a quarter turn more
with a socket wrench.
