TO ADJUST CARBURETOR

Your carburetor is not adjustable. If your engine does not operate properly due to

suspected carburetor problems, take your tractor to an authorized service center for

repair and/or adjustment.

High speed stop is factory adjusted. Do not adjust - damage may result.

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 a Sears or other qualified service center,, which has proper equip- ment and experience to make any necessary adjustments.
