ENGINE
Maintenance, repair, or replacement of
the emission control devices and systems,
which are being done at the customers ex-
pense, 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.
TO ADJUST CARBURETOR
The carburetor has been preset at the
factory and adjustment should not be
necessary.
However, engine performance
can be affected by differences in fuel, tem-
perature, altitude or load. If the carburetor
does need adjustment, contact your near-
est authorized service center/department
IMPORTANT:
Never tamper with the
engine governor, which is factory set 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 your nearest sears or
other qualified service center which has
the proper equipment and experience to
make any necessary adjustments.
