Controlling the acid level in a dry-
charged battery
Check that the level of the battery acid lies between the
markings. When refilling, only distilled water may be used to
fill the cells.
Ignition system
The engine is equipped with an electronic ignition system.
Only the spark plug requires maintenance.
For recommended spark plug, see Technical data.
Replacing the spark plug
1 Remove the ignition cable shoe and clean around the
spark plug.
2 Remove the spark plug with a 3/4” (19 mm) spark plug
socket wrench.
3 Check the spark plug. Replace the spark plug if the
electrodes are burned or if the insulation is cracked or
damaged. Clean the spark plug with a steel brush if it is to
be reused.
4 Measure the electrode gap with a gapping tool. The gap
should be 0.75 mm/0.030”. Adjust as necessary by
bending the side electrode.
5 Reinsert the spark plug, turning by hand to avoid
damaging the threads.
6 Tighten the spark plug, once it touches the seating, with
the spark plug spanner. Tighten the spark plug so that the
washer is compressed. A used spark plug should be
turned 1/8 of a turn from the seated position. A new spark
plug should be turned a 1/4 turn from the seated position.
7 Replace the ignition cable shoe.
