1. Park the vehicle on a flat, level surface in a well-ventilated area.

2. Ensure the transmission is in PARK and set the parking brake.

3. Lift up on the rear of the seat and pull back to remove.

4. Clean the area around the spark plug.

5. Carefully lift up to remove the spark plug boot from the plug.

6. The spark plug socket in your tool kit can be combined with an 18mm socket to remove the plug.

7. Carefully remove the spark plug for inspection.

8. Inspect the electrodes for wear and carbon buildup. The spark plug should have a sharp outer edge with no rounding or erosion.

10. If necessary, replace with the recommended spark plug. The spark plug is MR7F, which is part number 3022662.

11. Install the spark plug into the engine. Torque to 9 ft-lbs (12 Nm). 

12. Reinstall the spark plug boot and ensure it is secure.
