NOTICE
This inverter is NOT equipped with altitude carburetor modication. Even with a carburetor modication, engine horsepower will
decrease about 3.5% for each 300 meter (1,000 foot) increase in altitude. The eect of altitude on horsepower will be greater if no
carburetor modication is made. A decrease in engine horsepower will decrease the power output of the generator. Contact our
service team to order altitude kits.
Operating, servicing and maintaining this equipment can expose you to chemicals including engine exhaust,
carbon monoxide, phthalates, and lead, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm. To minimize exposure, avoid breathing exhaust, do not idle the engine
except as necessary, service your equipment in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves or wash your hands
frequently when servicing your equipment. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
