) ~C:~~:~~~ j
If any adjustments are made to the
engine while the engine is running
(e.g. carburetor), disengage all
clutches and blades. Keep clear of
all moving parts and be careful of
heated surfaces and muffler.
~ CAUTION
To avoid injury or an accident, be
sure the brake pedal is in the locked:
position, transmission is in neutral,
and any equipment is disengaged
before starting engine to make car-
buretor adjustments.
The carburetor is adjusted at the factory and
under normal operating conditions it will not re-
quire readjusting. However, if the engine does not
operate properly, what may appear to be a faulty
carburetor adjustment is in many cases a clogged
air filter. This possibility should be ruled out
before attempting to readjust carburetor. Refer to
"MAINTENANCE."
NOTE: To prevent possible damage to the car-
buretor needles, be very careful closing the car-
buretor needles before basic adjustments are
made. Improper adjustment of the carburetor may
result in engine damage.
