Engine Switch are in the "OFF" position when the engine
is not in use .
NOTE
If the engine will not be used for a period of two (2) weeks
or longer, please see the Storage section for proper engine
and fuel storage .

If the trigger is released and then pulled before 15
seconds has elapsed, the engine will continue to run . This
allows the unit to continue running while the operator
stops washing momentarily to move the unit or the object
being washed .

Operation at High Altitude

The density of air at high altitude is lower than at sea
level . Engine power is reduced as the air mass and
air-fuel ratio decrease . Engine power will be reduced
approximately 3½% for every 1000 feet of elevation
above sea level . This is a natural trend and cannot
be changed by adjusting the engine . At high altitudes
increased exhaust emissions can also result due to the
increased enrichment of the air fuel ratio . Other high
altitude issues can include hard starting, increased fuel
consumption and spark plug fouling .
To alleviate high altitude issues other than the natural
power loss, Champion Power Equipment can provide a
high altitude carburetor main jet . The alternative main
jet and installation instructions can be obtained by
contacting Customer Support . Installation instructions
are also available in the Technical Bulletin area of the
Champion Power Equipment internet site .
The part number and recommended minimum altitude
for the application of the high altitude carburetor main
jet is listed in the table below .
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 main jet part number
corresponding to the carburetor code found on your
particular carburetor .

WARNING
Operation using the alternative main jet at elevations
lower than the recommended minimum altitude can
damage the engine . For operation at lower elevations, the
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 .
