TO ADJUST THE CARBURETOR

If you think your carburetor needs ad- justing, see your nearest Craftsman Store. Engine performance should not be affected at altitudes up to 7,000 feet. For operation at higher elevations, con- tact your nearest Craftsman Store.

IMPORTANT: Never tamper with the engine governor, which is factory set for proper engine speed. Over-speeding the engine above the factory high speed setting can be dangerous. If you think the engine-governed high speed needs adjusting, contact your nearest Craftsman Store, which has the proper equipment and experience to make any necessary adjustments.
