VALVE TO ROCKER ARM CLEARANCE

After the first 20 hours and every 50 hours of
operation, inspect the valve to rocker arm
clearance using a flat feeler gauge.

This requires some disassembly of the engine. If
you feel unsure or unqualified to perform this, take
the unit to an authorized service center.

The engine must be cold when checking or
adjusting the valve clearance.

• This task should be performed inside, in a clean,

dust free area.

1. Loosen the four screws shown in (MA11 (2)).
2. Remove the three screws that secure the

engine cover. (MA11 (1), MA12 (1))

3. Disconnect the spark plug wire.

engine cover.

5. Remove the rocker arm cover and gasket.
