ENGINE

ENGINE SPEED
Your engine speed has been factory set.  
Do not attempt to increase en gine speed 
or it may result in personal injury.  If you 
believe that engine is running too fast or 
too slow, take your mower to a Sears or 
other qualifi ed service cen ter for repair 
and ad just ment.

CARBURETOR
Your carburetor is not adjustable.  If your 
engine does not operate properly due to sus-
pected carburetor problems, take your lawn 
mower to a Sears or other qualifi ed service 
center for repair and/or ad just ment.
IMPORTANT:  Never tamper with the 
engine governor, which is factory set 
for proper engine speed.  Over speed ing 
the engine above the factory high speed 
setting can be dangerous.  If you think 
the engine-governed high speed needs 
adjusting, contact a Sears or other 
qualifi ed service center, which has proper 
equip ment and ex pe ri ence to make any 
nec es sary adjustments.

5.   Squeeze lower handle in and po si tion

LAWN MOWER

When lawn mower is to be stored for a 
period of time, clean it thor oughly, remove 
all dirt, grease, leaves, etc.  Store in a 
clean, dry area.

tion of this manual).

2.   Lubricate as shown in the Main te nance 

section of this manual.

3.   Be sure that all nuts, bolts, screws, and 

pins are securely fas tened.  Inspect 
moving parts for damage, breakage 
and wear.  Replace if necessary.

4.   Touch up all rusted or chipped paint 

surfaces; sand lightly before painting.

HANDLE
You can fold your mower handle for storage.
1.   Squeeze the bottom ends of the lower 

handle toward each other until the 
lower handle clears the handle bracket, 
then move handle forward.

2.   Loosen upper handle mounting bolts 

enough to allow upper handle to be 
folded back.

IMPORTANT:  When folding the handle for 
storage or transportation, be sure to fold 
the handle as shown or you may damage 
the control cables.
•  When setting up your handle from the 

storage position, the lower han dle will au-
