LIFAN Power USA Platinum Series Operating Instructions And Owner's Manual page 23

USAGE IN HIGH ALTITUDE REGIONS:
In regions with high altitude, the standard carburetor produces overly dense combinations of
fuel and air, which result in decreased engine performance and increased fuel consumption. To
maintain high engine performance at high altitudes, install a high altitude carburetor main spray
nozzle and re-adjust the adjusting screw for idle speed. For usage in regions with an altitude of
over 4,527ft (1380m), contact your dealer to replace the standard carburetor and make needed
adjustments in advance. Even with a proper high altitude carburetor spray nozzle installed in the
engine, the power output of the engine will drop about 3.5% with every 1000ft (305m) increase in
altitude. If the standard carburetor jets are not replaced and adjusted for usage in high altitude,
the increased altitude effect will be even more severe.
NOTE: Usage of the generator in regions with lower altitude than the high altitude car-
buretor spray nozzle is applicable, may result in decrease of engine performance. The
engine may become overheated and over-lean combination of fuel and air produced may
cause severe damage to the engine.
TRANSFER SWITCH CONNECTIONS - Only allow Professional Electricians
The Lifan Energy Storm generator is wired with the neutral bonded to ground. If you are con-
necting your generator to a transfer switch, the electrician must first determine what type trans-
fer switch is being used. Transfer switches for this equipment are either two-pole or three- pole
types.
A two-pole transfer switch will not switch the neutral from the generator to the service panel. That
means the generator will be grounded to the service panel. To use the generator with two-pole
transfer switches, the electrician will need to change the neutral from bonded to floating.
This is done by removing the jumper wire that connects the alternator ground to the alternator
neutral. Remove the jumper wire and retighten the connections. Keep the jumper wire with the
owner's manual in case it is needed for future use when not connected to a transfer switch.
