Spark plug Maintenance

Spark plug

Cap

1. Disconnect spark plug cap from end of plug.

Clean out debris from around spark plug.

2. Using a spark plug wrench, remove the spark plug.

3. Inspect the spark plug:

If the electrode is oily, clean it using a clean, dry rag.

If the electrode has deposits on it, polish it using emery paper. If the white insulator is cracked or chipped, the spark plug needs to be replaced.

Air Filter Maintenance

1. Remove the Air Cleaner Cover and the air filter(s) and check for dirt. Clean as described below.

2.

Cleaning:

• For paper filters:

To prevent injury from dust and debris, wear ANSI-approved safety goggles,

NIOSH-approved dust mask/respirator, and heavy-duty work gloves. In a well-ventilated area away from bystanders, use pressurized air to blow dust out of the filter. If this does not get the filter clean, replace it.

• For foam filters:

Wash the filter in warm water and mild detergent several times. Rinse. Squeeze out excess water and allow it to dry completely.

Soak the filter in lightweight oil briefly, then squeeze out the excess oil.

3. Install the cleaned filter(s). Secure the

Air Cleaner Cover before use.
