2. Using provided spark plug wrench, remove the spark plug by
turning it counter-clock wise. If there is a carbon sediment
build-up, remove it. If there is too much carbon sediment,
replace the spark plug.
3. Check the gap with a wire gauge. If necessary, reset the gap
to 0.7-0.8 mm. Install and tighten the spark plug to the
recommended torque–180 lb-in (20 Nm).
4. Reinstall the spark plug wire and protection cage in reverse
order.
NOTE:
In some areas, local law requires using a resistor spark plug
to suppress ignition signals. If this engine was originally equipped
with a resistor spark plug, use the same type for replacement.

Long Term Storing
Long term storage of the pressure washer requires additional
preventive measures to protect it against deterioration.
1. Drain Fuel
Move the fuel valve to
OFF
position and remove the hex screw
from the carburetor. Then, move the fuel valve to
ON
position
to drain the fuel from the tank, carburetor, and hose. Screw
the carburetor drain hex screw back once the fuel has been
completely drained.
2. Add Fuel Stabilizer
If you do not wish to drain the fuel tank, add a fuel stabilizer
(38-0907-6) into the fuel tank. Run the engine at least five
minutes after adding the stabilizer to distribute it inside the fuel
system.
