engine emission control systems yourself,
a Technician’s Handbook is available from
your Authorized Tecumseh Servicing
Dealer.  This handbook covers repairs and
adjustments not covered within this
manual.  Order as part no. 694782.

Tecumseh manufactures and is responsible only for the
engine used on this power equipment. If repair or service is
needed for anything other than the engine, contact the
service source recommended by the equipment manufac-
turer.

Please copy the information from the decal on your engine,
and write it into the spaces below for future reference.
