pense, may be performed by any non-road
engine repair establishment or individual.
Warranty repairs must be performed by an
authorized engine manufacturer's service
outlet.
CARBURETOR
If your engine does not operate properly
due to suspected carburetor problems,
take your tractor to a Sears or other
qualified service center for repair and/or
adjustment.

not adjust - damage may result.
IMPORTANT: Never tamper with the
engine governor, which is factory set

think the engine-governed high speed
needs adjusting, contact a Sears or other
qualified service center,, which has proper
equipment and experience to make any
necessary adjustments.
