High Altitude Replacement Kit

The standard carburetor air-fuel mixture is too rich at high
altitudes for this unit. Performance decreases and fuel
consumption increases at high altitudes. A rich mixture
also fouls the spark plug and causes hard starting. Oper-
ation for extended periods of time at an altitude that dif-
fers from what the engine was certified for may increase
emissions.
Install an altitude kit, when required, when operating at
higher altitudes. Follow the guide below to determine
when an altitude kit is required:
Altitude Range
0–3,000 ft (0–914 m)
3,000–6,000 ft (914–1,829 m)
6,000–8,000 ft (1,829–2,438 m)
Kits can be obtained by contacting Generac Customer
Service at 1-888-436-3722 (1-888-GENERAC), or visit-
ing www.generac.com. Kits must be installed by a quali-
fied individual.
NOTE: If a carburetor is replaced, the correct high alti-
tude kit jet will need to be installed into the replacement
carburetor.
The warranty may be void if necessary installation of a
high altitude kit is not made for high altitude use.
