■ SPARK PLUG
• Starting failure and mis-firing are often caused by a
fouled spark plug. Periodically clean the spark plug
and check that the spark gap is in the correct range.
For a replacement plug, use the correct type
specified by RedMax/ZENOAH(See SPECIFI-
CATIONS on the page 4). (MA4)
• When you take off the spark plug, twist (1) and pull
off the cap (2). (MA5)
• REPLACEMENT PLUG IS A NGK BPMR7A.
IMPORTANT
• Note that using any spark plugs other than those
designated may result in the engine failing to operate
properly or in the engine becoming overheated and
damaged.
• To install the spark plug, first turn the plug until it is
finger tight, then tighten it a quarter turn more with a
socket wrench.
