Installation Notes

Disconnect the spark plug wire before performing any repair or fastener replacement on outdoor power equipment. Use a properly sized hex socket or wrench to avoid rounding the fastener head. As a self-tapping screw, do not over-torque during installation, as this can strip the threads it forms in the base material. Consult the equipment service manual for the correct torque procedure specific to the assembly being serviced.
