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.

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.
