REPLACING
THE SPARK PLUG
Use replacement
#753=06193, a Champion
RDJ7J spark plug, or
equivalent. The correct air gap is 0.025 inch (0.635 mm).
1. Stop the engine and allow it to cool. Grasp the plug wire firmly and pull it
from the spark plug.
2.
Clean around the spark plug. Remove the spark plug from the cylinder
head by turning a 5/8-inch socket counterclockwise.
WARNING:
Do not sand blast, scrape or clean electrodes. Grit
in the engine could damage the cylinder.
3.
Replace a cracked, fouled or dirty spark
plug. Set the air gap at 0.025 in. (0.635
mm) using a feeler gauge (Fig. 24).
4.
Install a correctly-gapped
spark plug in
the cylinder head. Tighten by turning the
5/8-inch socket clockwise
until snug.
If using a torque wrench, torque to:
110=120 in.-Ib. (12.3=13.5 Nora)
Do not over tighten.
CLEANING
Fig. 24
Use a small brush to clean off the outside of the unit. Do not use strong
detergents.
Household cleaners that contain aromatic oils such as pine
and lemon, and solvents such as kerosene, can damage plastic housing or
handle. Wipe off any moisture with a soft cloth.
STORAGE
•
Never store a fueled unit where fumes may reach an open flame or spark.
•
Allow the engine to cool before storing.
•
Store the unit locked up to prevent unauthorized
use or damage.
•
Store the unit in a dry, well-ventilated
area.
•
Store the unit out of the reach of children.
LONG TERM STORAGE
If planning on storing the unit for an extended time, use the following storage
procedure:
1. Drain all fuel from the fuel tank into a container with the same 2-cycle
fuel mixture. Do not use fuel that has been stored for more than 30 days.
Dispose of the old fuel/oil mix in accordance
to Federal, State and Local
regulations.
2.
Start the engine and allow it to run until it stalls. This ensures that all fuel
has been drained from the carburetor.
3.
Allow the engine to cool. Remove the spark plug and put 3 - 5 drops of
any high quality motor oil or 2-cycle oil into the cylinder. Pull the starter
rope slowly to distribute the oil. Reinstall the spark plug.
NOTE:
Remove the spark plug and drain all of the oil from the cylinder
before attempting to start the unit after storage.
4.
Thoroughly clean the unit and inspect it for any loose or damaged parts.
Repair or replace damaged parts and tighten loose screws, nuts or bolts.
The unit is ready for storage.
