2.Loosen and remove OIL DRAIN HOSE CAP. Drain oil completely into suitable container.

3.When all oil has drained, install and tighten OIL DRAIN HOSE CAP, and re-install into its retaining clip.

4.Turn OIL FILTER (Figure 10.2) counterclockwise and remove. Properly dispose of old filter.

‹SPARK PLUGS

Reset the spark plug gap or replace the spark plugs as necessary (Figure 10.4).

1.Clean the area around the base of the spark plugs to keep dirt and debris out of the engine. Clean by scraping or washing using a wire brush and commercial solvent. Do not blast the spark plugs to clean.

2.Remove the spark plugs and check the condition. Replace the spark plugs if worn or if reuse is questionable. See the “Service Schedule,” Section 6, for recommended inspection.

3.Check the spark plug gap using a wire feeler gauge. Adjust the gap to 1.07-1.17 mm (0.042- 0.046 inch) by carefully bending the ground elec- trode (Figure 10.4).
