TO ADJUST CARBURETOR
Your carburetor is not adjustable. If your

suspected carburetor problems, take your
tractor to a Sears or other qualified 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-gov-
erned high speed needs adjusting, contact
a Sears or other qualified service center,,
which has proper equipment and experience
to make any necessary adjustments.
