Adjusting the carburetor is a compli-
cated task, Carburetor adjustment
is
critical and if done improperly can per-
manently damage the engine as well as
the carburetor. We recommend that you
take your unit to a Sears Service Center
for any necessary adjustments.

ing steps after each use:

lated area where fuel vapors cannot
