Visually inspect the spark plug. Discard it if the insulator is cracked,
chipped, or fouled. Clean the spark plug with a wire brush if it is to
be reused.

7.
Install the spark plug carefully by hand, to avoid cross-threading.
8.
After a new spark plug has been seated by hand, it should be
tightened 1/2 turn with a wrench to compress its washer.
If a used plug is being reinstalled, it should only require 1/8 to 1/4
turn after being seated.
The spark plug must be securely tightened. An improperly
tightened plug can become very hot and possibly damage the
generator.
Never use a spark plug with an improper heat range.
