High altitude 

operation 

CAUTION

: Operating at an altitude of greater than 2000 feet (610 meters) may affect your 

engines performance, fuel consumption, and emissions. To remain emissions compliant and 
improve engine performance at higher altitudes, a high-altitude kit is required. A high altitude kit 

includes a carburetor jet resized to help correct air / fuel mixture at altitude. To order a high 

altitude kit or if you have additional questions, go to www.northerntool.com or contact us at 1-

866-443-2576 

 Powerhorse.  Please note, engines with the high-altitude kit installed operated 

at lower altitudes could cause severe engine damage and affect emissions compliance.  When 
modified, a tag or decal should be added to the product stating that a high-altitude kit was 

installed and to remind you to re-service the carburetor (re-jet) when operating in lower altitude 

environments.
