MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

with the operating range which is stamped on the governor plate. In no case is the engine rpm to exceed 2800 rpm.
If adjustment is required, remove the seal attached to the governor adjusting cap. Turn the cap counterclockwise
to increase rpm, clockwise to decrease rpm. When the adjustment is completed, stop the engine and reattach the seal.
