Adjusting Carburetor

If the engine is running rough, minor adjustments to the 
carburetor may be required to compensate for 
differences in fuel, temperature, altitude and load. 

NOTE: 

Dirty air cleaner may cause an engine to run

rough.Before adjusting carburetor, check air cleaner. 

To adjust the carburetor, please follow the 
recommendations and instructions on carburetor 
adjustment in the engine manual.

season or if the unit will not be used for 30 days or 
more. Store the mower in a clean, dry area.

instructions in the Maintain Your Lawn Mower 
section of this manual.

storage: Remove the starter rope from the rope 
guide; loosen the two hand knobs on the sides of 
the handle, and let the upper handle fold down to 
the rear. Move the hairpin clips to the outer hole in
