Oil Sentry
™
Control System
Some engines are equipped with an optional Oil
Sentry™ switch. This switch is designed to prevent
the engine from starting in a low oil or no oil
condition. The Oil Sentry™ may not shut down
a running engine before damage occurs. In some
applications this switch may activate a warning signal.
Read your equipment manuals for more information.
Spark Plugs
Engine mis
fi
re or starting problems are o
ft
en caused
by a spark plug that has improper gap or is in poor
condition.
The engine is equipped with the following spark
plugs:
Type:
The standard spark plug is a Champion
®
RC12YC. Equivalent alternate brand plugs
can also be used.
Gap:
0.76 mm (0.030 in.)
Thread Size:
14
mm
Reach:
19.1 mm (3/4 in.)
Hex Size:
15.9 mm (5/8 in.)
Spark Plug Service
Every
100 hours
of operation, remove the spark plug,
check its condition and reset the gap, or replace it with
a new plug as necessary. To service the plugs, perform
the following steps:
1. Before removing the spark plug, clean the area
around the base of the plug to keep dirt and
debris out of the engine.
2. Remove the plug and check its condition. See
Inspection following this procedure. Replace the
plug if necessary.
NOTE: Do not clean spark plug in a machine
using abrasive grit. Some grit could
remain in the spark plug and enter the
engine causing extensive wear and
damage.
3. Check the gap using a wire feeler gauge. Adjust
the gap to
0.76 mm (0.030 in.)
by carefully
bending the ground electrode. See Figure 8-1.
Figure 8-1. Servicing Spark Plug.
4. Reinstall the spark plug into the cylinder head
and torque to
22-27 N·m (195-239 in. lb.)
