ADJUSTMENTS

GENERAL

DO NOT MAKE UNNECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS. FACTORY SETTINGS ARE SATISFACTORY
FOR MOST APPLICATIONS AND
CONDITIONS.
IF ADJUSTMENTS ARE NEEDED, PROCEED AS
FOLLOWS:

CARBURETOR
If you think your carburetor needs adjusting, see your nearest
SEARS, ROEBUCK AND CO. (OR SEARS CANADA CENTER).
Engine performance should not be affected at altitudes up to
7,000 feet. For operation at higher elevations, contact your
nearest SEARS, ROEBUCK AND CO. (OR SEARS CANADA,
INC.) SERVICE CENTER.

(_) ENGINE
_

Just as your automobile needs professional mechanical maintenance
from time to time, so does your Craftsman engine. Replacement of the
spark plug and air cleaner is made necessary by NORMAL use.
Professional Air-Cooled Engine Service is as close as your nearest
Sears Roebuck and Co. (or Sears Canada, Inc.) Service Center.
A yearly check-up or tune-up by Sears is a good idea to avoid
breakdowns or delay..,
do it at the end of the season, then you're
ready for the next. We even prepare it for storage for you.

SPEED

NEVER TAMPER WITH ENGINE GOVERNOR WHICH IS FACTORY SET FOR PROPER ENGINE SPEED. OVERSPEEDING
ENGINE ABOVE FACTORY HIGH SPEED SETTING CAN BE
DANGEROUS.
CHANGING OF ENGINE-GOVERNED SPEED WILL VOID ENGINE WARRANTY.
