100719 - 8500W ELECTRIC START INVERTER GENERATOR
To alleviate high altitude issues other than the natural power
loss, CPE can provide a high altitude carburetor main jet. The
alternative main jet and installation instructions can be obtained
by contacting our Technical Support Team. Installation instructions
are also available in the Technical Bulletin area of the CPE website.
The part number and recommended altitude range for the
application of the high altitude carburetor main jet is listed in the
following table.
In order to select the correct high altitude main jet it is necessary
to identify the carburetor model. For this purpose, a code is
stamped on the side of the carburetor. Select the correct high
altitude jet part number corresponding to the carburetor code
found on your particular carburetor.
Carb. Code High Alt. Jet Part Number
16100- 16161-Z520110-00A0
Z1E0611-
16161-Z100110-00A0
00A0

Operation using the alternative main jet at elevations lower
than the recommended minimum altitude can damage the
engine. For operation at lower elevations, the originally
supplied standard main jet must be used. Operating the
engine with the wrong engine configuration at a given altitude
may increase its emissions and decrease fuel efficiency and
performance.

Cleaning the Generator

DO NOT spray generator directly with water.
Water can enter the generator through the cooling slots and
damage the generator windings. It can also contaminate the
fuel system.
1. Use a damp cloth to clean exterior surfaces of the generator.
2. Use a soft bristle brush to remove dirt and oil.
3. Use an air compressor (25 PSI) to clear dirt and debris from
the generator.
4. Inspect all air vents and cooling slots to ensure that they are
clean and unobstructed.
To prevent accidental starting, remove and ground the spark plug
wire before performing any service.

Changing the Engine Oil

Change oil when the engine is warm. Refer to the oil specification
to select the proper grade for your operating environment.
1. Place the generator on a flat level surface.
2. Remove the oil drain side maintenance cover by pushing and
turning the two fasteners counterclockwise to the unlocked
horizontal position.
