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 the engine is running too fast
or too slow, take your lawn mower to a
Sears or other qualified service center for
repair and adjustment.
CARBURETOR
Your carburetor
has a non-adjustable
fixed main jet for mixture
control. If your
engine does not operate properly due to
suspected
carburetor problems, take your
lawn mower to a Sears or other qualified

ment.
IMPORTANT:
Never tamper with the
engine governor, which is factory set for
proper engine speed.
Overspeeding
the
engine above the factory

adjusting, contact a Sears or other
qualified service center, which has proper
equipment
and experience
