CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT

WARNING

If any adjustments are made to the

engine while the engine is running (e.g.
carburetor), disengage all clutches and

tines. Keep clear of all moving parts. Be
careful of heated surfaces and muffler.

Minor carburetor adjustment may be required to
compensate for differences in fuel, temperature,
altitude or load, if adjustments are needed, refer

to the engine manual packed with the tiller.

NOTE:

A dirty air cleaner will cause engine to run

rough. Be certain air cleaner is clean and attached to

the carburetor before adjusting carburetor. Do not

make unnecessary adjustments. Factory settings are
satisfactory for most applications and conditions.
