* Naturalgasrating will dependon specificfuel but typicalderatingof generatoris between
lO to 20% off the LP gasrating.Thepower ratings for an individualenginemodelare initially
developed by startingwith SAE(Society of AutomotiveEngineers) codeJI940 (Small E ngine
Power& TorqueRatingProcedure) ( Revision 2002-05).Givenboth the wide array of products
on which our enginesare placed,and the varietyof environmental issues applicableto
operatingthe equipment, i t may be that the engineyou havepurchased will not developthe
rated horsepower when usedin a pieceof power equipment(actual%n-site" power).This
difference is due to a varietyof factorsincluding,but not limited to, the following:differences
in altitude,temperature,barometric pressure, h umidity,fuel, enginelubrication,maximum
governedenginespeed,individualengineto enginevariability,designof the particularpieceof
powerequipment, t he manner in which the engineis operated,enginerun-in to reduce friction
and cleanout of combustion chambers, a djustments to the valvesand carburetor,and other
factors.The power ratingsmay also be adjustedbased on comparisons to other similar engines
utilizedin similar applications, and will thereforenot necessarily m atchthe values derivedusing
the foregoingcodes.

NOTE: For practical operation, the generator load should
not exceed 85% of rated wattage. Engine power will
decrease 3-1/2% for each 1,000 feet (300 meters) above
sea level and 1% for each l0 ° F (5.6 ° C) above 77 ° F
(25 ° C). Engine will operate satisfactorily at an angle up to
15 °.
