Maintenance, repair, or replacement of
the emission control devices and sys-
tems, which are being done at the
customers expense, may be performed
by any non-road engine repair establish-
ment or individual. Warranty repairs must
be performed by an authorized engine
manufacturer's service outlet.
TO ADJUST CARBURETOR
The carburelor has been preset at the
factory and adjustment should not be
necessary. However, engine perfor-
mance can be affected by differences in
fuel, temperature, altitude or load. If the
carburetor does need adjustment, contact
your nearest 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 expedenoe to
make any necessary adjustments.
