II. How to Get Service
For engine adjustments, repairs or warranty service NOT
covered in this manual, consult your local Authorized
Tecumseh Servicing Dealer, call 1-800-558-5402, or go to
www.TecumsehPower.com for additional information.
A. Engine Identification Decal
A sample engine identification decal (See Figure 4.)
indicates the engine’s model number, specification of
engine and the date of manufacture (D.O.M.). Please look
at the decal on your engine and fill in this information in the
spaces provided for future reference.
The engine identification decal also includes engine life
specifications for the emissions-related useful life period of
your engine. This period relates to the emission compliance
life as certified by EPA and/or CARB. To find the life period
specification for your engine, please look on your engine’s
decal and find the letter enclosed by quotation marks
between the words MODERATE and LIFE PERIOD. Match
one of the following letters with the letter printed on your
decal. For example, OV models are designated as “C” 250
hours, “B” 500 hours, and “A” 1000 hours.
B. Tecumseh Technician’s Handbook
If you have a general understanding of internal combustion
engines and wish to repair and service your engine and/or
engine emission control systems yourself, a Technician’s
Handbook is available from your Authorized Tecumseh
Servicing Dealer. See Figure 5. This handbook covers
repairs and adjustments NOT covered within this
Operator’s Manual, and it is intended for individuals who
have had adequate training, experience and who practice
proper tool usage. Service procedures should be clearly
understood and practiced when servicing Tecumseh
Engines. Order as part no. 695244A for OV models.
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
manufacturer.
