lead to explosion or fire.
Standard spark plug:
DPR6EA-9
3. Be sure to use the specified spark plug,
otherwise the engine may not operate
properly. Before fitting the spark plug,
measure the electrode gap with a wire
thickness gauge; adjust the gap to spec-
ification if necessary.
1. Spark plug gap
2. Spark plug I.D. mark (NGK)
3. Spark plug part number
Spark plug gap:
0.8–0.9 mm (0.031–0.035 in)
4. When fitting the plug, wipe off any dirt
from the threads, and then screw it in to
the correct torque.
Spark plug torque:
18.0 Nm (1.84 kgf-m, 13.3 ft-lb)
TIP:
If a torque-wrench is not available when you
are fitting a spark plug, a good estimate of
the correct torque is 1/4 to 1/2 a turn past fin-
ger-tight. Have the spark plug adjusted to the
correct torque as soon as possible with a
torque-wrench.
