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 engine is running too fast or
too slow, take your mower to a Husqvarna
or other qualified service center 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.
Immediately prepare your lawn mower for
storage at the end of the season or if the
unit will not be used for 30 days or more.
LAWN MOWER
When lawn mower is to be stored for a
period of time, clean it thoroughly, remove
all dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store in a

tion of this manual).

You can fold your lawn mower handle for
storage.
