Recommended Spark Plug:
BPR5ES(NGK) or W16EPR-U(DENSO)
1.
Remove the spark plug with a plug
wrench and clean away any carbon
deposits on the electrodes with a wire
brush. Wipe away any moisture if present.
2.
Replace the spark plug with a new one if
the ceramic part has cracked or the
electrodes have suffered extensive wear
and tear.
3.
Please adjust the spark plug electrode
clearance to 0.7-0.8mm (0.028-0.031in).
●
When attaching a spark plug onto the engine, tighten by hand at first before tightening with a plug
wrench. If you start by using a plug wrench to screw in the spark plug, there is a danger of
cross-threading it.
●
A loose spark plug can overheat and damage the engine.
Overtightening the spark plug can damage the threads in the cylinder head.

regulations. An optional USDA approved spark arrester is available
The spark arrester must be serviced every 100 hours to keep it functioning as designed.
