Carburetor
The carburetor of your generator is pre-set at the factory.
The carburetor should not be tampered with. If your gen-
erator is used at an altitude in excess of 4000 feet, perfor-
mance may be affected. If so consult with your nearest
Sears Service Center regarding high altitude set changes.
Governor
Your engine governor maintains the constant operating
speed of your generator. DO NOT tamper with the engine
governor which is factory set for proper engine speed.
Over-speeding your engine above factory high speed set-
ting can be dangerous and could possibly cause personal
injury or property damage. If you believe the engine is run-
ning too fast or slow, take your generator to a Authorized
Sears Service Center for repair and adjustment.
CAUTION: Low engine speeds impose a heavy load
on the engine and when sufficient power is not avail-
able the engine life could be shortened.
SERVICE ADJUSTMENTS
