ENGINE
Maintenance, repair, or replacement of the
emission control devices and systems, which
are being done at the customers expense,
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 Sears or
other qualified service center for repair and
adjustment.
CARBURETOR
Your carburetor is not adjustable. If your
engine does not operate properly due to sus-
pected carburetor problems, take your lawn
mower to a Sears or other qualified service
center for repair and/or adjustment.
IMPORTANT: Never tamperwith the engine
governor, which is factory set for proper en-
gine speed. Overspeeding the engine above
the factory high speed setting can be danger-
ous. If you think the engine-governed high
speed needs adjusting, contact a Sears or
other qualified service center, which has
proper equipment and experience to make
any necessary adjustments.
