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 adjust-
ment.
IMPORTANT:
Never tamper with the
engine governor, which is factory set for
proper engine speed.
Overspeeding
the
engine above the factory
high speed
setting can be dangerous.
If you think the
engine-governed
high speed needs
adjusting, contact a Sears or other
qualified service center, which has proper
equipment
and experience
to make any
necessary
adjustments.
Immediately
prepare your lawn mower for
storage at the end of the season or if the
unit will not be used for 30 days or more.
