MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
REPLACING THE SPARK PLUG
WARNING:
Do not sand blast, scrape or clean electrodes. Grit in the engine could
damage the cylinder.
Use replacement #753-06193, a Champion RDJ7J spark plug, or equivalent.
The correct air gap is 0.025 inch (0.635 mm). Remove the plug after every 25
hours of operation and check its condition.
1. Stop the engine and allow it to cool. Grasp the plug wire firmly and pull
it from the spark plug.
2. Clean around the spark plug. Remove the spark plug from the cylinder head
by turning a 5/8-inch socket counterclockwise.
3. Replace a cracked, fouled or dirty spark plug. Set the air gap at 0.025 in.
(0.635 mm) using a feeler gauge (Fig. 25).
4. Install a correctly-gapped spark plug in the cylinder head. Tighten by turning the 5/8-inch socket
clockwise until snug.
If using a torque wrench torque to: 110-120 in.•lb. (12.3-13.5 N•m) Do not over tighten.
CLEANING AND STORAGE
CLEANING
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always turn the unit off and allow it to cool before you
clean or service it.
Use a small brush to clean off the outside of the unit. Do not use strong detergents. Household cleaners that contain
aromatic oils such as pine and lemon, and solvents such as kerosene, can damage plastic housing or handle. Wipe off
any moisture with a soft cloth.
STORAGE
• Never store a fueled unit where fumes may reach an open flame or spark.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing.
• Store the unit locked up to prevent unauthorized use or damage.
• Store the unit in a dry, well-ventilated area.
• Store the unit out of the reach of children.
Short Term Storage (1-2 weeks)
1. Store the unit in a horizontal position. If this is not possible, store the unit vertically with the engine at the top.
Long-term Storage
1. Remove the fuel cap, tip the unit and drain the fuel into an approved container.
NOTE: Do not use gasoline that has been stored for more than 30 days. Dispose of old gasoline in accordance with
federal, state and local regulations.
2. Start the engine and allow it to run until it stalls. This ensures that all fuel has been drained from the carburetor.
3. Allow the engine to cool. Remove the spark plug and put 5 drops of any high quality motor oil or 2-cycle oil into the
cylinder. Pull the starter rope slowly to distribute the oil. Reinstall the spark plug.
NOTE: Remove the spark plug and drain all of the oil from the cylinder before attempting to start the unit after storage.
4. Thoroughly clean the unit and inspect it for any loose or damaged parts. Repair or replace damaged parts and
tighten loose screws, nuts or bolts. The unit is ready for storage.
