Operation - Briggs & Stratton 073046 Operator's Manual

High Altitude
At altitudes over 1524 meters (5,000 feet), a
minimum 85 octane / 85 AKI (89 RON) gasoline is
acceptable. To remain emissions compliant, high
altitude adjustment is required. Operation without
this adjustment will cause decreased performance,
increased fuel consumption, and increased emissions.
See an Authorized Briggs & Stratton dealer for high
altitude adjustment information. Operation of the
engine at altitudes below 762 meters (2,500 feet) with
the high altitude kit is not recommended.
