A WARNING: If any adjustments are made to
the engine while the engine is running (e.g.
carburetor), keep clear of all moving parts.
Be careful of heated surfaces and muffler.
Minor carburetor adjustments may be required to
compensate for differences in fuel, temperature,
altitude and load.
To adjust carburetor, refer to the
separate engine manual packed with your mower.
NOTE: A dirty air cleaner will cause an engine to run
rough. Be certain air cleaner is clean and attached to
the carburetor before adjusting carburetor. Refer to the
separate engine manual.
