Engine Maintenance
Important:
If you are using a machine with
an Exmark engine above 5,000 ft (1500 m) for a
continuous period, ensure that the High Altitude
Kit has been installed so that the engine meets
CARB/EPA emission regulations. The High
Altitude Kit increases engine performance while
preventing spark fouling, hard starting, and
increased emissions. Once you have installed
the kit, attach the high-altitude label next to
the serial decal on the machine (reference
Figure 1). Contact an Authorized Service Dealer
