CAUTION
When changing the spark plug, check
the thread pitch and length.
If the threaded part is too short, the
carbon deposits will accumulate on the
thread seat, and therefore the engine
may be damaged during the installation
of the right spark plug.
Use the recommended type of spark
plugs only, see page 90 (TECHNICAL
DATA), in order not to compromise the
life and performance of the engine.
