HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
Engine power is reduced the higher you operate above sea
level. Output will be reduced approximately 3.5% for every
1,000 feet of increased altitude from sea level.
High altitude adjustment is required for operation at altitudes
over 5,000 ft. (1524 m). Operation without this adjustment
will cause decreased performance, increased fuel consump-
tion, and increased emissions.
NOTICE
DO NOT operate the generator at
altitudes below 2,000 ft. (762 m) with the high altitude
kit installed. Engine damage may occur.
