High speed stop is factoryadjusted. Do
not adjust - damage may result.
IMPORTANT: Never tamper with the
engine governor,which is factoryset 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 Sears or other
qualified service center, which has proper
equipment and expedence to make any
necessary adjustments.
