High altitude
This generating set may require a high altitude carburetor kit to ensure correct operation at high altitudes.
Consult the authorized local dealer for high altitude kit information if you always operate your engine at
altitudes above 5,000 feet (1,500 meters).
CAUTION: Even with carburetor modification, generating set horsepower will decrease
about 3.5% for each 1,000 feet (300 meters) increase in altitude. The effect of altitude on
horsepower will be greater than this if no carburetor modification is made.
Operation the engine at altitude below 5,000 feet (1,500 meters) with modified carburetor may cause the
generating set to overheat and result in serious engine damage. Please restore factory specifications of the
carburetor at the dealer when using the engine in a low altitude area.
2. Operating Condition
