Service Spark Plug

Change the spark plug every 100 hours of operation or once each year, whichever comes first. This will help your engine to start easier and run better.

1.Clean area around spark plug.

2.Remove and inspect spark plug.

3.Check electrode gap with wire feeler gauge and set spark plug gap to 0.030 inch (0.76mm) if necessary.

4.Replace spark plug if electrodes are pitted, burned or porcelain is cracked. Use the recommended replacement plug. See Specifications.

5.Install spark plug and tighten firmly.

Clean Spark Arrester Screen

The engine exhaust muffler may be equipped a spark arrester screen. If equipped, inspect and clean the screen every

50 hours of operation or once each year, whichever comes first.

If you use your water pump on any forest-covered, brush- covered, or grass-covered unimproved land, it must have a spark arrester. The spark arrester must be maintained in good condition by the owner/operator.

If the engine has been running, the muffler will be very hot. Allow the muffler to cool before servicing the spark arrester.

WARNING

Contact with muffler area can result in serious burns.

Exhaust heat/gases can ignite combustibles, structures or damage fuel tank causing a fire.

•DO NOT touch hot parts and AVOID hot exhaust gases.

•Allow equipment to cool before touching.

•Keep at least 5 feet (1.5 m) of clearance on all sides of water pump including overhead.

•Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Title 36 Parks, Forests, and Public Property require equipment powered by an internal combustion engine to have a spark arrester, maintained in effective working order, complying to USDA Forest service standard 5100-1C or later revision. In the State of California a spark arrester is required under section 4442 of the California Public resources code. Other states may have similar laws.

1.Remove spark arrester screen for cleaning and inspection.

2.Inspect screen and replace if torn, perforated or otherwise damaged. DO NOT use a defective screen. If screen is not damaged, clean it with commercial solvent.

3.Reattach spark arrester screen to muffler.

NOTE: You can purchase a new spark arrester screen by contacting your local Briggs & Stratton service center.

Air Cooling System

Over time debris may accumulate in cylinder cooling fins and cannot be removed without partial engine disassembly. For this reason, we recommend you have an authorized Briggs & Stratton service dealer clean the cooling system per recommended intervals (see Maintenance Schedule in beginning of Maintenance section). Equally important is to keep top of engine free from debris. See Cleaning.
