HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION ABOVE 3000 FEET

The fuel system on this generator may be affected by op-

eration at high altitudes. Proper operation can be ensured 

by installing an altitude kit at altitudes higher than 3000 

feet above sea level. At elevations above 8000 feet, the en-

gine may experience a decrease in performance, even with 

the proper altitude kit. Operating this generator without the 

high altitude kit at elevations above 3000 feet may increase 

the engine’s emissions and decrease both fuel economy 

and performance. 

INSTALLING THE HIGH ALTITUDE KIT

This kit should be installed by a qualified mechanic. Con-

tact customer service at 

1-800-232-1195

 (M-F 8-5 CST), 

or email 

[email protected]

 for information 

about service centers near you.

Gather the parts in the high altitude kit. Refer to page 9.

1. Flip the engine switch to the STOP position.

2. Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position.

3. Prepare an approved gasoline-storage container to catch 

any spilled fuel. Place it near the fuel valve.

4. The carburetor can be accessed from the backside of the 

generator between the engine and the air filter. Loosen the 

bolt (Fig. 2) on the bottom of the carburetor with a Phillips-

head screwdriver (not included). 

CAUTION! The carburetor 

bowl may have gas in it which will leak upon removing 

the bolt. 

5. Remove the bolt, bolt seal, fuel cup, fuel cup seal, and 

main jet from the body of the carburetor assembly. Refer 

to Fig. 2.

6. Replace the main jet with the replacement jet needed for 

your altitude range (3000-6000 ft or 6000-8000 ft). 

NOTE:  

The fuel cup seal and bolt seal may be damaged during 

removal and should be replaced with the new ones from 

the kit.

7. Reassemble the fuel cup seal, fuel cup, bolt seal, and 

bolt. Tighten with a Phillips-head screwdriver to secure.

WARNING!

 To prevent serious injury from 

fire, follow the kit installation procedures in a 

well-ventilated area away from ignition sources. 

If the engine is hot from use, shut the engine off 

and wait for it to cool before proceeding. Do not 

smoke near the generator. Warranty will be void 

if adjustments are not made for high altitude use.

CAUTION!

 UNINSTALL the high altitude kit when 

operating at altitudes below 3000 feet.
