This area is HOT if engine has been running. Allow engine to cool before servicing.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

CLEAN OR REPLACE SPARK PLUG: Clean or replace the spark plug after every 100 hours of opera- tion or every season, whichever comes first. Do not blast the spark plug clean with an abrasive cleaning device. Clean the plug by scraping it or by using a wire brush. Wash the plug with a commercial solvent. After cleaning or when installing a new spark plug, set the terminal gap to .030 inch (.76 mm) with a feeler gauge. See Figure D.5.

OPERATIONAL CLEARANCE

Approximately 12-18” of clearance should be around this unit during operation for air flow. Reducing this clearance will reduce air flow to the machine causing operational temperatures to increase. Possible damage to the machine can result if to much air flow is restricted.
