High Altitude Operation
At high altitude, the standard carburettor 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 fuel jet in the carburettor and readjusting the slow tempo
screws. If you always operate the generator at altitudes higher than
1,500m (4,000 feet) above sea level, have your dealer perform these
carburettor modifications.
Even with suitable carburettor jetting, engine horsepower will decrease
approximately 3.5% for each 300m (1,000 feet) increase in altitude .
The effect of altitude on the horsepower will be greater than this if no
carburettor modification is made.
Operation of the generator at an altitude lower than the carburettor
is jetted for may result in reduced performance, overheating , and
serious engine damage caused by an excessively lean air/fuel
mixture.
Warning
•
To prevent electrical shock from faulty appliances , the generator
should be grounded. Connect an electric conductor (cable) of at least
1.5mm2 between the generator’s ground terminal and an external
ground source.
• Connections for standby power to a building’s electrical system must
be made by a qualified electrician and must comply with all applicable
laws and electrical codes. Improper connections can allow electrical
current from the generator to back feed into the utility lines. Such
back feed may electrocute utility workers before power is restored, the
generator may explode, burn, or cause fires in the building’s electrical
system.
• Do not exceed the current limit specified for any one receptacle
•
Do not connect the generator to a household circuit. This could cause
damage to the generator or to electrical appliances in the house.
•
Do not modify or use the generator for any purpose other than it is
intended for. Also observe the following when using the generator.
—Do not connect generators in parallel.
—Do not connect an extension to exhaust pipe.
•
When an extension cable is required, be sure to use a rubber
sheathed flexible cable,
