NOTE: A dirty air cleaner will cause an engine to run rough. Be certain air cleaner is clean and attached to the carburetor before adjusting carburetor.

WARNING: If any adjustments are made to the engine while the engine is running (e.g. carburetor), keep clear of all moving parts. Be careful of heated surfaces and muffler.

Throttle Control

If your lawn mower is equipped with an adjustable throttle control on the handle (refer to the first category of throttle controls described on page 10 of this manual), adjust it following instructions below.

•Adjust the throttle control only if it is out of adjustment, or if it has been replaced.

•Remove the screw shown in Figure 16. Remove the cable clamp from the cable.

NOTE: If you have a Tecumseh engine, simply loosen the screw shown in Figure 16 so the cable will move freely beneath the clamp. It is not necessary to remove the screw and clamp completely.

•Push the throttle control lever on the handle all the way forward as far as it will go, then back it off one “click.” Make certain the throttle control lever remains in this position.

•Push the control lever on the engine as far toward the rear of the engine as it will go. Secure the cable in this position with the cable clamp and screw.
