Steps to Change the Spark Plug

Ensure the engine is cool to prevent burns. Place the ATV on a flat surface and turn off the ignition.

Use the spark plug socket and ratchet wrench to carefully unscrew the old spark plug. Turn counterclockwise until it is free.

Before installing the new spark plug, use a gap tool to ensure the gap is set to the manufacturer's specifications. This is crucial for proper engine performance.

5. Install the New Spark Plug

Apply a small amount of anti-seize compound to the threads of the new spark plug. Carefully screw it into the engine by hand to avoid cross-threading. Once hand-tight, use the ratchet wrench to snug it up, but do not over-tighten.
