SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS

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 YOUR

NEAREST AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER/

DEPARTMENT, WHICH HAS PROPER EQUIPMENT AND

EXPERIENCE TO MAKE ANY NECESSARY

ADJUSTMENTS.
