SPARK PLUG MAINTENANCE
• Spark plug maintenance consists essentially of a periodical visual inspection. Remove the spark plug and check
for proper condition and gap.
• Clean the electrodes and the insulator thoroughly by means of a wire brush.
• Remove any residual dirt with a strong jet of compressed air.
• Lubricate spark plug thread with engine oil or graphitised grease, and install it by hand until finger tight.
Tighten to the specified torque with a spark plug wrench (see F.6).
It is imperative that any spark plug exhibiting cracks on the insulator or corroded electrodes be
replaced.
SPARK PLUG REPLACEMENT 6,000 - 7,000 km
• Upon prescribed mileage being reached, always replace the spark plug. Use
MALAGUTI recommended spark
plugs.
• When replacing exhausted spark plugs, visually inspect spark plug condition as described above to ascertain
whether or not the engine is running properly.
ENGINE REMOVAL
• For removal of the engine from the chassis, refer to the “Chassis” Workshop Manual, which lists all the
operations required.
