Spark Plug Service
For good performance, the spark plug must be properly gapped and free of deposits.
Disconnect the spark plug cap and remove any dirt from around the spark plug area.
Remove the spark plug with a spark plug wrench.
Inspect the spark plug. Replace it if the electrodes are worn, or if the insulator is cracked or
chipped.
Measure the spark plug electrode gap with a suitable gauge. The gap should be 0.028 ~ 0.031 in
(0.7 ~ 0.8mm). Correct the gap, if necessary, by carefully bending
the side electrode with a suitable tool.
Install the spark plug carefully, by hand, to avoid cross-threading.
Install the spark plug cap on the spark plug.
STORAGE

Never store the lawnmower with fuel in the tank inside a building where can reach an open flame
or spark.
To reduce fire hazard, keep the engine, muffler, battery compartment and fuel storage area free of
grass, leaves or excessive grease.
If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done outdoors.
Be careful during adjustment of the machine to prevent entrapment of the fingers between moving
blade and fixed parts of the machine.
Allow the product to cool for at least 30 minutes before storing.
