ENGINE
ENGINE
SPEED
Your engine
speed
has been factory
set.
Do not attempt
to increase
engine
speed
or it may result in personal
injury.
If you
believe
that engine
is running
too fast or
too slow, take your mower to a Sears or
other qualified
service
center for repair
and adjustment.
CARBURETOR
Your carburetor
is not adjustable.
If your
engine
does not operate
properly
due
to suspected
carburetor
problems,
take
your lawn mower to a Sears or other
qualified
service
center for repair and/or
adjustment.
IMPORTANT:
Never tamper
with the
engine
governor,
which is factory
set for
proper
engine speed.
Overspeeding
the engine
above the factory
