WARNING

•Make sure that the engine has stopped and is cool before performing any service to the machine. Contact with moving cutting head or hot muffler may result in a personal injury.

■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. (MA3)

•REPLACEMENT PLUG IS A NGK CMR7A.

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.
