ENGINE
ENGINE
SPEED
Your engine
speed

set.
Do not attempt
to increase
engine
speed
or it may result in personal
injury.
If you
believe
that engine
is running
too fast or
too slow, take your mower
to a Sears
or
other qualified
service
center
for repair
and adjustment.
CARBURETOR
Your carburetor
is not adjustable.
If your

properly
due to sus-
pected carburetor

necessary
adjustments.
