TO ADJUST CARBURETOR
Your carburetor is not adjustable. If your

suspected carburetor problems, take your
tractor to an authorized service center for
repair and/or adjustment.
High speed stop is factory adjusted. Do
not adjust - damage may result.
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 equip-
ment and experience to make any
necessary adjustments.
