SPARK PLUG MAINTENANCE

The spark plug must be checked and cleaned after

replaced after 300 hours of use or every year.
1. Stop the generator and let it cool for several
minutes if running.
2. Move the generator to a flat, level surface.
3. Remove the spark plug boot by firmly pulling the
plastic spark plug boot handle directly away from
the engine (see Figure 52 and Figure 53).
NOTICE

laterally when removing the spark plug. Applying a
