EBU34190Checking the spark plugThe spark plug is an important engine component,
which is easy to check. Since heat and deposits
will cause any spark plug to slowly erode, the
spark plug should be removed and checked in ac-
cordance with the periodic maintenance and lubri-
cation chart. In addition, the condition of the spark
plug can reveal the condition of the engine.
To remove the spark plug1. Remove panels A and C. (See page 8-9.)
2. Remove the storage compartment by remov- ing the bolt. 3. Remove the spark plug cap.
Tightening torques:
Panel bolt:4.0 N·m (0.40 kgf·m, 2.9 lb·ft)
Footboard nut: 4.0 N·m (0.40 kgf·m, 2.9 lb·ft)

To install the spark plug
1. Clean the surface of the spark plug gasket and its mating surface, and then wipe off any
grime from the spark plug threads.
2. Install the spark plug with the spark plug wrench, and then tighten it to the specified
torque.
TIPIf a torque wrench is not available when installing
the spark plug, a good estimate of the correct
torque is 1/4–1/2 turn past finger tight. However,
the spark plug should be tightened to the speci-
fied torque as soon as possible. 3. Install the spark plug cap.
4. Install the storage compartment as shown,and then install the bolt.
5. Install the panels.

final gear case. The oil level should be at the
brim of the check hole.
3. If the oil is below the brim of the check hole, remove the final gear oil filler bolt and its gas-
ket, and then add sufficient oil of the recom-
mended type to raise it to the correct level. 4. Check the gaskets for damage, and replace
them if necessary.
