ENGINE

ENGINE SPEED

Your engine speed has been factory 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 engine does not operate properly due

to suspected carburetor problems, take your lawn mower to a Sears or other qualified service center for repair and/or adjustment.

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 equipment and experience to make any necessary adjustments.

Immediately prepare your lawn mower for storage at the end of the season or if the unit will not be used for 30 days or more.

LAWN MOWER

When lawn mower is to be stored for a period of time, clean it thoroughly, remove all dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store in a clean, dry area.

1.Clean entire lawn mower (See "CLEANING" in the Maintenance sec-

tion of this manual).

2.Lubricate as shown in the Maintenance section of this manual.

3.Be sure that all nuts, bolts, screws, and pins are securely fastened. Inspect moving parts for damage, breakage and wear. Replace if necessary.

4.Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand lightly before painting.

HANDLE

You can fold your lawn mower handle for storage.

1.Loosen the two (2) handle knobs on

sides of the upper handle and allow handle to fold down to the rear.

2.Remove the two (2) handle knobs and carriage bolts on sides of the lower handle and pivot entire handle as- sembly forward and allow it to rest on mower.

3.Reinstall knobs and carriage bolts to lower handle or handle brackets for

safe keeping.

• When setting up your handle from the storage position, the lower handle will require manually locking into the mow- ing position.
