Drain the tank of gas and tale out the plug and pour oil down into the tank. If there is a bleed button use that to check for leaks.

to prepare for the winter you should completely drain the tank of petrol also take plug out and pour oil down onto piston so you dont get a standing sieze if carb has a bleed button press to remove exess petrol and make sure empty of petrol as old petrol turns to lacquer and blocks the jets

Start the lawn mower and let the engine idle on the low position. Get an adjustable wrench and turn the carb setting/release guage. If the engine stalls, you need to increase the pressure. Ideally, you want it running around 2000 RPM's.

Just google it! It's a simple task, and mainly consists of taking off the carburetor cover, making the adjustments you need, and repacing the cover. Very simple and very easy.
