Spark Plug

1.Remove and clean the spark plug (Figure 16).

2.Adjust the spark gap to 0.028 ~0.031 inch (0.6~0.7 mm).This unit has electronic ignition, which requires no adjustments.

MVH-R60H — MAINTENANCE

Air Filter

The air filter element should be regularly cleaned. A clogged air cleaner can cause poor engine starting, lack of power and shorten engine life substantially.

1.To clean or replace air filter loosen the wing nut on the air filter housing (Figure 18), remove the cover and take out air filter cartridge.If only cleaning of the air filter is desired blow through the air filter cartridge from the inside, moving a jet of dry compressed air up and down until all dust is removed.

Engine Oil Replacement:

1.

Replace engine oil after the first 20 hours of operation and

 

 

every 100 hours thereafter.

 

2.

Oil may be drained more easily when it is warm after

 

 

operation.

 

3.

When changing the engine oil, the old oil can be drained by

 

 

removing the oil filler cap, and unscrewing the engine oil

 

 

drain plug located at the base of the engine (Figure 17).

 

4.

Remember to refill engine crankcase with the recommended

 

 

type of oil as listed inTable 4 (For more details, see separate
