High Altitude
At altitudes over 5,000 feet (1524 meters), a minimum 85
octane / 85 AKI (89 RON) gasoline is acceptable. To remain
emissions compliant, high altitude adjustment is required.
Operation without this adjustment will cause decreased
performance, increased fuel consumption, and increased
emissions. See a qualified Sears dealer for high altitude
adjustment information. Operation of the engine at altitudes
below 2,500 feet (762 meters) with the high altitude kit is not
recommended.
