Storage - Craftsman 917.377391 Owner's Manual

CARBURETOR
Your carburetor has a non-adjustable
fixed main jet for mixture control. If your
engine does not operate propedy 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.
