Note:
USE OF A SPARK PLUG BY ANY OTHER MAKE THAN RECOMMENDED, OR OF UNSUPPRESSED
SPARK PLUG CAPS CAN LEAD TO MALFUNCTIONS IN THE IGNITION SYSTEM .
ONLY REMOVE THE SPARK PLUG WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD. CHECK THE SPARK
PLUG EVERY 20000 KM, AND REPLACE IT IF NECESSARY. USE OF A
DIFFERENT IGNITION SYSTEM OR OF A SPARK PLUG BY ANY OTHER MAKE
THAN RECOMMENDED CAN SEVERELY DAMAGE THE ENGINE.
IF THE SPARK PLUG WAS REMOVED FOLLOWING ENGINE FLOODING (TO ALLOW
PETROL TO EVAPORATE), THEN LEAVE THE PLUG CAP ATTACHED TO THE
SPARK PLUG AND EARTH THE SPARK PLUG A GOOD DISTANCE FROM THE
PLUG HOLE TO AVOID IGNITING THE MIXTURE COMING OUT OF THE CYLINDER HEAD.
