Servicing the Spark Plug

Service Interval: Every 100 hours—Inspect, clean,
and adjust the spark plug gap;
replace the spark plug if necessary.
Use an NGK BPR5ES spark plug or equivalent.
1. Shut off the engine and wait for all moving parts
to stop.
2. Disconnect the wire from the spark plug.
3. Clean around the spark plug.
4. Remove the spark plug from the cylinder head.
Important:
Replace a cracked, fouled, or
dirty spark plug. Do not clean the electrodes
because grit entering the cylinder can
damage the engine.
5. Set the gap on the plug to 0.76 mm (0.030 inch);
refer to Figure 23.

Adjusting the Self-Propel
Drive
If the machine is new, does not self-propel, or it tends
to creep forward, adjust the drive cable.
1. Move the machine outside and onto a paved
surface near a solid wall to safely prevent the
machine from moving forward while the engine
is running.
2. Position the machine with the front tires against
the wall.
Note:
Ensure that the area is well ventilated
and clear of debris that could be thrown by the
machine.
3. Shift the transmission to third gear.
4. Start the engine; refer to
(page 16).
5. Pull the self-propel-drive bar to the handle.
Note:
The wheels should start to turn as the
self-propel-drive bar just touches the handle.
6. Shut off the engine.
7. If you must adjust the machine, do the following:
•
If the wheels do not spin when you engage
the self-propel-drive bar, the traction belt is
too loose. Rotate the wheel-drive-control
knob
