Spark Plug Inspection

You should periodically remove and
inspect the spark plug. Dirty or
worn spark plugs can cause poor
performance.
When removing or installing the
spark plug, be careful not to
damage the insulator. A damaged
insulator could allow external
sparks, which could lead to
explosion or fire. Death or serious
personal injury can result from
failing to comply with the safety
instructions in this manual.
