Changing the Spark Plugs
SSA6061A

WARNING:
NOTE:
SSA6060B
It is recommended that  the engine be cool
or cold when  changing the spark  plugs. If
the engine is  hot, you could burn yourself
on the insulated connector, the spark plug
or the engine itself.
Spark plugs should be tightened firmly. Over-
tightening can  damage the  threads in  the
aluminum cylinder head. Leaving them too
loose can cause the spark plugs to get very
hot and  possibly  result in  damage to  the
engine.
You will find it easier  to change spark plugs if
the engine is cold.   Always change one spark
plug at a time. This helps avoid getting the wires
mixed up.
4.
When  preparing to  remove the  old  spark
plug, guide the socket down over the spark
plug, being  careful not to  damage the  ce-
ramic insulator.
To remove the spark plug, turn the wrench
handle in a counterclockwise direction.
To  install the  new  spark  plug,  guide the
socket  down  over  the  spark  plug, being
careful not to damage the ceramic insulator.

2.
Remove  the  center cover  on  the  engine
rocker cover.
Using a clean cloth, remove any dirt that has
accumulated  around the  spark  plug so  it
cannot fall into the cylinder when the spark
plug is removed.
To remove the spark plug cable, pull straight
up on the insulated connector, not the cable.
Pulling on the cable may damage the carbon
core conductor.
7.
Replace the cable by pushing the insulated
connector directly down onto the electrode.
Check to be sure it has snapped into place
and can't fall off.
