  • Page 19 INSTALLATION HIGH ALTITUDE At high altitude, the standard carburetor air/fuel mixture will be too rich. Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase. A very rich mixture will also foul the spark plug on gasoline engines and cause hard starting. Operation at an altitude that differs from that at which this engine was certified, for extended periods of time, may increase emissions.
  • Page 20: Operation

    OPERATION PRE-OPERATION: Check the engine oil level before starting. (See engine manual.) Fill the fuel tank according to the engine manual instruction. Pump oil level should be checked before each use. Check the oil level indi- cator on the pump crankcase. Make certain the oil is in the center of the oil sight glass.
