ENGINE SPEED
Your engine speed has been factory set.  
Do not attempt to increase en gine speed 
or it may result in personal injury.  If you 
believe that engine is running too fast or 
too slow, take your mower to a qualified 
service cen ter for repair and ad just ment.
CARBURETOR
Your carburetor is not adjustable.  If your 
engine does not operate properly due to 
suspected carburetor problems, take your 
lawn mower to a qualified service center 
for repair and/or ad just ment.
IMPORTANT:  Never tamper with the 
engine governor, which is factory set for 
proper engine speed.  Over speed ing the 
engine above the factory high speed set-
ting can be dangerous.  If you think the 
engine-governed high speed needs ad-
justing, contact a qualified service center, 
which has proper equip ment and ex pe ri-
 ence to make any nec es sary adjustments.
