Cleaning or replacing the spark plug
1. Once the engine has cooled, pull off the spark plug boot with
a twist. Remove the spark plug using the socket spanner
supplied.
2. Clean the plug with a wire brush.
3. Using a feeler gauge, set the gap to 0.51mm.
4. Install the spark plug carefully by hand to avoid
cross-threading.
5. After the spark plug is seated, tighten with the spanner to
compress the washer.
0.46-0.51mm
Changing the oil
Tilt the lawn mower 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 470ml 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.
