High Altitude Operation; Ambient Temperature - Kipor SINEMASTER IG6000 Owner's Manual

4.2High altitude operation

At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be excessively rich.
Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase.
High altitude performance can be improved by installing a smaller diameter main jet in the carburetor.
If you continuously operate the generator at altitudes higher than 5000 feet or 1500 meters above sea
level, have your authorized dealer install the high altitude main jet kit. No other adjustments to the
carburetor are necessary
Even with suitable carburetor re-jetting, engine horsepower will decrease approximately 3.5% for each
1000 feet or 305 meter increase in altitude. The effect of altitude on the horsepower will be greater
than this if no carburetor modification is made. For use at lower altitudes, be sure to have your dealer
return your generator to the original specification.
■Operation of the generator at an altitude lower than the carburetor is jetted for may result in reduced
performance, overheating, and serious engine damage caused by an excessively lean air/fuel mixture.

4.3 Ambient Temperature

Generator output generally derates 1% for every 10° F (5.5° C) above 85° F (29° C). The normal
operating range of the generator is -20° to 113° F (-29° to 45° C).
CAUTION
■Do not operate the generator when the ambient temperature is below
-20° F (-29°)
■Do not operate the generator when the ambient temperature is above
113° F (45° C)
