CARBURETOR
The carburetor has been preset at the fac-
tory and adjustment should not be neces-
sary. However, minor adjustment may be
required to compensate for differences in
fuel, temperature, altitude or load.
• The air filter must be assembled to the
carburetor when running engine.
• Best carburetor adjustment is obtained
when fuel tank is 1/4 full.
• In order for the engine to run, the operator
presence control bar must be held in the
operating position. Therefore, and assis-
tant will be required to hold the control bar
inthe operating position when making final
adjustment to the carburetor.

manual for further instructions.

ment section of your engine manual.
