(3) After normal running of genset, connect load and turn the breaker to "ON" position.
High altitude operation
At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be excessively rich,
engine performance will decrease and fuel consumption will increase.
High altitude performance can be improved by installing a smaller diameter main fuel
jet in the carburetor and readjusting the pilot screws. If you always operate the
generator at altitude higher than 1,500 m (5,000 feet) above sea level, have your
authorized dealer perform these carburetor modifications.
Even with suitable carburetor jetting, engine horsepower will decrease approximately
3.5% for each 305 m (1.000 feet) increase in altitude. The effect of altitude on the
horsepower will be greater than this if no carburetor modification is made.
■ Operation of the generator at an altitude lower than the carburetor is jetted for
may result in reduced performance, overheating, and serious engine damage
caused by an excessively lean air/fuel mixture.
