Using the generator at
high altitudes or high
ambient temperatures
NOTE
Should it be necessary to perform
modifications to adapt operation of
the generator, always request the
manufacturer's assistance.
It is FORBIDDEN to adjust engine
parameters and/or to add additives
to the fuel to enhance engine power
over the limits recommended by the
manufacturer.
As the altitude or ambient temperature increases, air
density decreases. This rarefaction of the air has an
adverse effect on engine operation, decreasing the
maximum power, deteriorating the quality of the
exhaust gas, increasing temperatures and in
extreme cases, making it hard to start up.
If the actual environmental conditions are not
specified when drafting the contract, the power of
the generator is intended to refer to standard
environmental conditions indicated in the technical
data, as stipulated in the reference standard
ISO8528-1.
If the actual environmental conditions should
subsequently change, you must contact the
manufacturer to calculate the new derating values
and for the necessary calibrations (when possible).
