2.Slide carriage bolt, washer, and nut up or down the buzzer lever (2).

3.Tighten carriage bolt, washer, and nut.

NOTE: It may be necessary to change the bag full indicator adjustment as turf conditions change.

FUEL SYSTEM

Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or on essential carburetor parts. To keep fuel fresh, use Briggs & Stratton FUEL FIT® fuel stabilizer, available as a liquid additive or a drip

concentrate cartridge.

There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine if a fuel stabilizer is added according to instructions. Run the engine for 2 minutes to circulate the stabilizer throughout the fuel system. The engine and fuel can then be stored up to 24 months.

If gasoline in the engine has not been treated with a fuel stabilizer, it must be drained into an approved container. Run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel. The use of a fuel stabilizer in the storage container is recommended to maintain freshness.
