ENGINE
Maintenance, repair, or replacement of
the emission control devices and systems,
which are being done at the customers ex-
pense, may be performed by any non-road
engine repair establishment or individual.
Warranty repairs must be performed by an
authorized engine manufacturer's service
outlet.
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 lawn mower to a
Husqvarna or other qualified service cen-
ter for repair and adjustment.
CARBURETOR
Your carburetor is not adjustable. If your
engine does not operate properly due
to suspected carburetor problems, take
your lawn mower to a Husqvarna 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, contact a Husqvarna or other
qualified service center, which has proper
equipment and experience to make any
necessary adjustments.
