Check the gap (A, Figure 5) with a wire gauge (B). If necessary, reset the gap. Install
and tightenthe sparkplug to the recommendedtorque. For gapsetting ortorque, seethe
Specifications section.
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.
Inspect Muffler And Spark Arrester
Running engines produce heat. Engine parts, especially muffler,
become extremely hot.
Severe thermal burns can occur on contact.
Combustible debris, such as leaves, grass, brush, etc. can catch fire.
WARNING
Allow muffler, engine cylinder and fins to cool before touching.
Remove accumulated debris from muff ler area and cylinder area.
It is a violation of California Public Resource Code, Section 4442, to useor
operate the engine onany forest-covered, brush-covered, or grass-covered land
unless the exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester, as defined in
Section 4442, maintained in effective working order. Other states or federal
jurisdictions may have similar laws. Contact the original equipment
manufacturer, retailer, or dealer to obtain a spark arrester designed for the
exhaust system installed on this engine.
Exhaust system parts are installed by the equipment manufacturer. For specific
maintenance and replacement information, contact the equipment manufacturer.
Remove accumulated debris from muff ler area and cylinder area. Inspect the muffler for
cracks, corrosion, or other damage. Remove thespark arrester, if equipped, andinspect
for damage or carbon blockage. If damage is found, install replacement parts before
operating.
WARNING: Replacement parts must be of the same design and installed
in the same position as the original parts. Other parts may not performas well, may
damage the unit, and may result in injury.
