■ SPARK PLUG
• Starting failure and mis-firing are often caused by a
fouled spark plug. Clean the spark plug and check
that the plug gap is in the correct range. For a
replacement plug, use the correct type specified by
RedMax. (MA4)
• REPLACEMENT PLUG IS A NGK BPMR7A.
IMPORTANT
• Note that using any spark plug 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.

■ MUFFLER
WARNING
• Inspect periodically, the muffler for loose fasteners,
any damage or corrosion. If any sign of exhaust
leakage is found, stop using the machine and have it
repaired immediately.
• Note that failing to do so may result in the
engine catching on fire.
■ SPARK ARRESTER
• The muffler is equipped with a spark arrester to
prevent red hot carbon from flying out of the exhaust
outlet. Periodically inspect and clean as necessary
with a wire brush.
In the State of California it is required by law
(Section 4442 of the California Public Resources
Code) to equip a spark arrester when a gas powered
tool is used in any forest covered, brush covered, or
grass covered unimproved land. (MA5)
