ENGINE MAINTENANCE
Do not use a wire brush for cleaning.
• Checking and adjusting spark plug gap is not required between change intervals. Do not adjust the gap; replace the spark plug as
necessary if out of specification.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Do not drop or shock the spark plug.
*: Always check with the Parts Department for the latest parts information.
CAUTION:
Always tighten the spark plug to specified torque to align the orie ntation of electrodes. The ground
electrode of a genuine spark plug is positioned in the area of maximum ignitability by tightening to the
specified torque. When replacing spark plugs, use genuine spark pl ugs of which the ground electrode
is adjusted.
