Operation at High Altitude
At altitudes over 5,000 feet(1524 meters), a
minimum 85 octane gasoline is acceptable.
Engine power and generator output will be
reduced approximately 3.5% for every 1000
feet (305 m) of elevation above sea level. High
altitude may cause hard starting, increased fuel
consumption and spark plug fouling. To operate
at high altitudes FIRMAN can provide a high
altitude carburetor main jet. The alternative
main jet and installation instructions can be
obtained by contacting Customer Support.
Installation instructions are also available in the
Technical Bulletin area of the FIRMAN website
www.firmanpowerequipment.com.

NOTICE Operation using an alternative main
jet at elevations lower than the recommended
minimum altitude can damage the engine. For
operation at lower elevations, the standard
main jet supplied must be used. Operating the
engine with the wrong main jet may increase
exhaust emissions, fuel consumption and
reduce performance.

that the AC stator winding is isolated from the
grounding fastener and the AC receptacle
ground pins. On a floating neutral generator the
AC receptacle ground pins are not functional.
Electrical devices, such as a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI), requiring a functioning AC
receptacle.
WARNING
Generator voltage could cause
electrical shock or burn resulting
in death or serious injury.
