Servicing the Spark Plug

Service Interval: Every 200 hours—Check spark plug
The spark plug is RFI compliant. Equivalent alternate
brand plugs can also be used. Spark plug replacement is
recommended at 500 hours.
Type: Champion XC12YC (or equivalent)
Air Gap: 0.030 inch (0.76 mm)
Removing the Spark Plug
1. Disengage the blade control switch, move the
motion controls outward to the park position, stop
the engine, and remove the key.
2. Pull the wire off of the spark plug (Figure 32). Clean
around the spark plug to prevent dirt from falling
into the engine and potentially causing damage.
Note: Due to the deep recess around the spark
plug, blowing out the cavity with compressed air
is usually the most effective method for cleaning.
The spark plug is most accessible when the blower
housing is removed for cleaning.
3. Remove the spark plug and metal washer.
