Description:
The Bosch re-gapping tool is a professional tool for accurate readjustment of the electrode gap of Bosch M18 Iridium industrial spark plugs.
Advantages at a glance:
- Increase in service life of industrial spark plugs due to accurate readjustment of the original electrode gap
- Reduced service times and costs thanks to its easy operation
- Safe application thanks to integrated force limitation: Prevents over-bending of the ground electrode or pushing out the center electrode
During their operation, industrial spark plugs wear off as the electrode gap increases. This results in misfires. Bosch Iridium M18 industrial spark plugs were developed in such a manner as to allow electrode re-gapping by means of the Bosch re-gapping tool.
Simply readjust industrial spark plugs using the Bosch re-gapping tool:
1. Place the cleaned M18 industrial spark plug into the socket. Make sure, the spark plug housing is properly positioned at the pattern
inlay while the back of the ground electrode faces out.
2. Push the lever all the way to the stop and keep up the pressure for a period of time.
3. Release the pressure from the lever and carefully remove the re-gapped spark plug from the socket.
Check spark plugs:
Spark plugs are wearing parts and their functionality should be checked regularly. The following failures might point at a defective spark plug:
- Loud combustion noises before reaching the operating temperature
- Unevenly running warm engine
- Loss of power
- High spark-plug resistance
- Need for increased ignition voltage
- Increased fuel consumption
