THROTTLE CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
If the throttle control requires adjustment or if it has
been replaced and need adjustment, proceed as
follows:
Figure 12
1. Remove the screw shown in Figure 12. Remove
the cable clamp from the cable.
NOTE: If you have a Tecumseh engine, simply
loosen the screw so the cable will move freely
beneath the clamp. It is not necessary to remove
the screw and clamp completely.
2. Push the throttle control lever on the handle all
the way forward as far as it will go, then back it
off one "click". Make certain the throttle control
lever remains in this position.
3. Push the control lever on the engine as far
toward the rear of the engine as it will go.
Secure the cable in this position with the cable
clamp and screw.
CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENTS
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.
