1) Take off the cap and loosen the plug using the
wrench provided (fig. 22).
Check and possibly adjust the distance between
the electrodes (fig. 21).
If the electrodes are excessively soiled or are very
worn, replace the spark plug with an equivalent
one (fig. 21).
Excessive soiling may be due to:
# The oil ratio used in fuel is too high and/or oil is
not of an appropriate type.
# Air filter is partly clogged.
2) Screw the spark plug manually as far as pos-
sible to avoid damaging its socket. Use the wrench
provided only to tighten it (fig.20).
3) Do not carry out repairs on the machine (if you
are not qualified to do so). Contact an authorised
service centre.

original safety features, do not make any

In case of repairs, only use genuine spare
parts.
An improper mantainance, use of non original
components, the removal and/or damage of

VICES").
