High speed stop is factory adjusted. Do
not adjust-damage may result.
IMPORTANT: Never tamper with the
engine governor, which is factory set
for proper engine speed. Overspeeding
the engine above the factory high speed
setting can be dangerous. If you think the
engine-governed high speed needs ad
justing, contact a Sears or other qualified
service center, which has proper equip
ment and experience to make any neces
sary adjustments.
