E. Carburetor

If you think your carburetor needs adjusting, see your

nearest Authorized Tecumseh Servicing Dealer. Engine

performance should NOT be affected at altitudes up to

7,000 feet (2,134 meters). For operation at higher

elevations, contact your Authorized Tecumseh Servicing

Dealer.

F. Engine Speed

To avoid serious injury or death, DO

NOT modify engine in any way.

Tampering with the governor setting can lead to a runaway

engine and cause it to operate at unsafe speeds. NEVER

tamper with factory setting of engine governor.

Running the engine faster than the speed set at the factory

can be dangerous and will VOID THE ENGINE

WARRANTY.

G. Engine Stopping Mechanism

Some engines are equipped with a

federally-mandated mechanism

which stops the engine and mower blade. To avoid serious

injury or death as a result of contact with the mower blade,

DO NOT interfere with or bypass this mechanism. Parts of

the mechanism may be subject to wear and must be

checked once a year by an Authorized Tecumseh

Servicing Dealer. In the event the mechanism fails for any

reason, you must NOT use the engine until corrected by an

Authorized Tecumseh Servicing Dealer.

H. Adjustments

DO NOT make any engine adjustments. Factory settings

are satisfactory for most conditions. If adjustments are

needed, contact your Authorized Tecumseh Servicing

Dealer.

VIII. Transporting Your Engine

NEVER transport this engine inside

another vehicle or in any enclosed

space if there is any gasoline in the tank. Fuel vapor or

spilled fuel may ignite.

If there is fuel in the fuel tank, close

the fuel shut off valve, if equipped,

and transport the engine upright in an open vehicle, such

as an open trailer or open bed of a pickup truck.

If you DO NOT have an open vehicle and have to transport

the engine upright in a closed vehicle, follow these steps

for emptying the fuel tank before transporting:

1. Empty fuel tank by using a commercially available

suction device designed for use with gasoline.

DO NOT pour fuel from engine or

siphon fuel by mouth.

2. Drain fuel into an approved red GASOLINE container,

being careful to avoid spilling.

3. Run the engine until remaining fuel is consumed.

NEVER leave the engine

unattended when it is running and

NEVER run engine in enclosed areas.
