DeVillbiss Air Power Company D26563 warranty To Start the Engine, Recoil start/Pull start

Engine speed has been factory set to provide safe operation. Tampering with the engine speed adjustment could result in over-

heating of attachments and could cause a fire. Never attempt to “speed-up” the en- gine to obtain more performance. Both the output voltage and frequency will be thrown out of standard by this practice, endangering attachments and the user.
