NOTICE

This generator is NOT

 equipped with altitude carburetor modification. Even with a carburetor modification, engine horsepower will 

decrease about 3.5% for each 300 meter (1,000 foot) increase in altitude. The effect of altitude on horsepower will be greater if no 

carburetor modification is made. A decrease in engine horsepower will decrease the power output of the generator.
