Stopping The Engine And The Tiller; Operation At High Altitude - Champion 100379 Operator's Manual

100379 - FRONT TINE TILLER
If the engine starts but does not run, make certain that the
tiller is on a flat, level surface. The engine is equipped with
a low oil sensor that will prevent the engine from running
when the oil level falls below a critical threshold.

Stopping the Engine and the Tiller

In an emergency, turn the engine switch to the "OFF"
position.
Under normal operation:
1. To stop the tines, release all control levers.
2. Turn the fuel valve to the "OFF" position.
3. Let the engine run until fuel starvation has stopped the
engine. This usually takes a few minutes.
NOTICE
4. Turn the engine switch to the "OFF" position.

Operation at High Altitude

The density of air at high altitude is lower than at sea level.
Engine power is reduced as the air mass and air-fuel ratio
decrease. Engine power and generator output will be reduced
approximately 3½% for every 1000 ft. of elevation above
sea level. This is a natural trend and cannot be changed by
adjusting the engine. At high altitudes increased exhaust
emissions can also result due to the increased enrichment of
the air fuel ratio. Other high altitude issues can include hard
starting, increased fuel consumption and spark plug fouling.
To alleviate high altitude issues other than the natural power
loss, CPE can provide a high altitude carburetor main jet.
The alternative main jet and installation instructions can be
obtained by contacting our Technical Support Team. Installation
instructions are also available in the Technical Bulletin area of
the CPE website.
The part number and recommended minimum altitude for the
application of the high altitude carburetor main jet is listed in
the table below.
In order to select the correct high altitude main jet it is
necessary to identify the carburetor model. For this purpose,
a code is stamped on the side of the carburetor. Select the
correct high altitude jet part number corresponding to the
carburetor code found on your particular carburetor.
