Changing the Spark Plugs

!
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.
WARNING:
1.
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.
4.
When preparing to remove the spark plug,
guide the socket down over the spark plug,
being careful not to damage the ceramic
insulator.
To remove the spark plug, turn the wrench
handle in a counterclockwise direction.
To replace the new spark plug, guide the
socket down over the spark plug, being
careful not to damage the ceramic insulator.
