CLEANING AND GAPPING SPARK PLUG:
If the plug is contaminated with carbon, remove it using a plug cleaner
or wire brush.
Check the spark plug gap and reset it if necessary. The spark plug gaps
are listed below. To change the gap, bend the side-electrode only, using
a spark plug tool. (Fig. 9)
Install and tighten the spark plug. Connect the spark plug lead.

SPARK ARRESTOR:
If the generator has been running, the muffler will be very hot. Allow it to
cool before proceeding.
NOTE: Remove and clean spark arrester every 100 hours or as nec-
essary.
NOTE: Product users on United States forest service land, and in
some states, must comply with fire prevention regulations.
Clean the spark arrester as follows: (Fig. 10A,B and 11)
1. Loosen the screw by the exhaust port of the muffler and remove the
spark arrester.
2. Use a brush to remove carbon deposits from the spark arrester screen.
Inspect the screen for breaks or tears and replace it if necessary.
3. Install the spark arrester in the reverse order of removal.
Spark arrestors are available from your local Mi-T-M Customer Service.
Other user requirements may apply, check with your Federal, State or
local authorities.
