IMPORTANT
• If too much fuel is absorbed or poor quality oil is used,
the spark plug electrodes become dirty, making the
engine harder to start.
• Note that using any spark plug other than those
designated may result in the engine failing to operate
properly or in the engine becoming overheated and
damaged.
• To install the spark plug, first turn the plug until it is
finger tight, then tighten it a quarter turn more with a
socket wrench.

WARNING
• Inspect periodically, the muffler for loose fasteners,
any damage or corrosion. If any sign of exhaust
leakage is found, stop using the machine and have
it repaired immediately.
• Note that failing to do so may result in the engine
catching on fire.
PROCEDURES TO BE PERFORMED AFTER EVERY
100 HOURS OF USE
1. Remove the muffler, insert a screwdriver into the vent,
and wipe away any carbon buildup. Wipe away any
carbon buildup on the muffler exhaust vent and cylinder
exhaust port at the same time.
2. Tighten all screws, bolts, and fittings.
3. Check to see if any oil or grease has worked its way in
between the clutch lining and drum, and if it has, wipe
it away using oil-free, lead-free gasoline.
