SERVICING YOUR GENERATOR

Make sure that the spark plug sealing washer is in good condition,
and thread the spark plug in by hand to prevent cross-threading.

After the spark plug seats, tighten with a 13/16-inch spark plug
wrench to compress the washer.

If reinstalling a used spark plug, tighten 1/8

1/4 turn after the spark

plug seats.
If installing a new spark plug, tighten 1/2 turn after the spark plug
seats.

A loose spark plug can overheat and damage the engine.
Overtightening the spark plug can damage the threads in the
cylinder head.

Attach the spark plug cap.
