• Close the high speed adjusting screw by
hand.
• Do not over-tighten.
• Then open it 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 turns.
• Start the engine and let it warm up.
• Set the throttle control to FAST. Adjust
the high speed adjusting screw In until
the engine speed or sound alters. Adjust
the,screw out until the engine speed
sound alters. Note the difference between
the two limits and set the screw in the
middle of the range.
• If the engine tends to stall under load or
not accelerate from low speed to high
speed properly, adjust the high speed
screw out in 1/8 turn increments until the
problem is resolved.
• Let the engine run undisturbed for 30
seconds between each setting to allow
the engine to react to the previous
adjustments,
IMPORTANT: Never tamper 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 Service
Center, which as the proper equipment
and experience to make any necessary
adjustments.
L_ CAUTION: Never store your
edger/trimmer indoors or in an enclosed,
poorly ventilated area Jfgasoline remains
in the tank fumes may reach an open
flame, spark or pilot light from a furnace,
water heater, clothes dryer, cigarette, etc.
EDGER/TRIMMER
• Clean the edger/trimmer thoroughly;
remove all debris and wipe the unit dry.
• Inspect the edger/trimmer for worn or
damaged parts and tighten all loose
hardware.
• Oil all points described in the Lubrication

this, manual.
• Store the edge/trimmer in a protected
area and cover for additional protec-

IMPORTANT: A yearly checkup or tune-
up by a Sears Service Center is a good
way of ensuring that your edger/
trimmer will provide maximum perfor-
mance for the next season.
ENGINE
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent
prevent gum deposits from forming in
essential fuel system parts such as the
carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose, or tank
during storage. Also, experience indicates
that alcohol-blended fuels called gaschol or
using ethanol or methanol can attract
moisture which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic
gas can damage the fuel system of an
engine while in storage.
To prevent engine damage (if edger/
trimmer is not used for more than 30 days)
follow the steps on next page.
