Hot Carbonating Truckmount System
High Altitude Operation
Preparation
To have your machine run at its peak performance; you may have to make adjustments
depending on the elevation. Elevation plays a key role in how the machine will operate.
The factory setting of the machine is set for elevations from 0—3,000 feet. Any time the
machine is operated above 3,000 feet there are two areas on the machine the
may need
adjustment.
The first area is the carburetor jet. The higher the elevation, the less air is provided to the
fuel mixture. This will make the engine run ‘rich’, and, in turn will result in the loss of
power, excessive heat in the exhaust, and carbon buildup in the exhaust and heat ex-
changer system. The jet sizes vary per engine and elevation. Consult HydraMaster to
obtain proper jet size.
The second area that may need adjustment is the heat control system. The heat control
system is also optimized to 0-3,000 feet. At higher altitudes the boiling point of water is
lowered. In turn, this can cause the water box to boil and the high pressure pump to
cavitate. The heat control system settings will have to be adjusted to compensate for the
elevation. These settings will vary according to elevation. Contact HydraMaster to obtain
the recommended settings.
