ENGINE
ENGINE SPEED
Your engine speed has been factory set.
Do not attempt to increase engine speed
or it may result in personal injury.
If you
believe that the engine is running too fast
or too slow, take your unit to a Sears or
other qualified service center for repair
and/or adjustment.
CARBURETOR
Your carburetor
has a nonadjustable
fixed
main jet for mixture control.
If your engine
does not operate properly due to sus-
pected carburetor
problems,
take your
unit to a Sears or other qualified service
center for repair and/or adjustment.
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, take your unit to a Sears or
other qualified
service center,
which has
proper equipment
and experience
to
make any necessary
adjustments.
