Spark Plug
Check the spark plug(s) after every 100 operating
hours. Make sure the air gap between the center and
side electrodes is correct before installing the spark
plug. Use a spark plug wrench for removing and
installing the spark plug(s) and a gapping tool/feeler
gauge to check and adjust the air gap. Install a new
spark plug(s) if necessary.
