High altitude operation
At high altitude, the standard carburetor 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 carburetor and readjusting the pilot screws. lf you always operate
the generator at altitudes higher than 1,500 m(5,000 feet) above sea level, have
your authorized dealer perform these carburetor modifications.
Even with suitable carburetor jetting, engine horsepower will decrease
approximately 3.5% for each 305m (1,000 feet) increase in altitude. The affect of
altitude on the horsepower will be greater than this if no carburetor modification
is made.
Operation of the generator at an altitude lower than the carburetor is jetted
for may result in reduced performance,overheating,and serious engine
damage caused by an excessively lean air/fuel mixture.
5. Move the choke lever to the RUN position after the engine warms up.
If the engine stops and will not restart, check the engine oil level before
troubleshooting in other areas.
