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.

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
