Servicing the Spark Plug

Service Interval: Every 100 hours
Make sure the air gap between the center and side electrodes
is correct before installing the spark plug.
Use a spark plug wrench for removing and installing the spark
plug(s) and a gapping tool/feeler gauge to check and adjust
the air gap. Install a new spark plug(s) if necessary.
Type for all Engines: NGK
Air Gap: 0.75 mm (0.03 inch)

Removing the Spark Plug
1. Disengage the PTO, move the motion-control levers to
the neutral-locked position, and set the parking brake.
2. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving
parts to stop before leaving the operating position.
3. Remove the spark plug as shown in Figure 47.
Checking the Spark Plug
Important: Do not clean the spark plug(s). Always
replace the spark plug(s) when it has a black coating,
worn electrodes, an oily film, or cracks.
If you see light brown or gray on the insulator, the engine is
operating properly. A black coating on the insulator usually
means the air cleaner is dirty.
Set the gap to 0.75 mm (0.03 inch).
