ENGINE
Maintenance,
repair, or replacement
of
the emission control devices and systems,
which are being done at the customers
ex-
pense, may be performed by any non-road
engine repair establishment
or individual.
Warranty repairs must be performed
by an
authorized
engine manufacturer's
service
outlet.
TO ADJUST
CARBURETOR
The carburetor has been preset at the
factory and adjustment
should not be
necessary.
However, engine performance
can be affected by differences
in fuel, tem-
perature, altitude or load. If the carburetor
does need adjustment,
contact your near-
est authorized
service center/department
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 your nearest sears or
other qualified service center which has
the proper equipment and experience
to
make any necessary
adjustments.
