Engine speed has been factory set to
provide safe operation. Tampering with
the engine speed adjustment could
result in overheating of attachments
and could cause a fire. Never attempt to
"speed-up" the engine to obtain more
performance. Both the output voltage
and frequency will be thrown out of
standard by this practice, endangering
attachments and the user. Tampering
