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 the engine is running too fast or too slow,
take your lawn mower to an authorized service center for
repair and adjustment.
THROTTLE CONTROL
If it becomes necessary to adjust or replace the throttle
control, see the adjustment section of your engine manual.
CARBURETOR
Your carburetor is not adjustable. If your engine does not
operate properly due to suspected carburetor problems, take

and/or adjustment.
IMPORTANT: NEVER TAMPER WITH THE ENGINE

ENGINE SPEED. OVERSPEEDING THE ENGINE ABOVE
THE FACTORY HIGH SPEED SETTING CAN BE

PROPER EQUIPMENT AND EXPERIENCE TO MAKE ANY
NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS.
