HIGH ALTITUDE REPLACEMENT KIT

3000ft to 6000ft or 6000ft to 8000ft of elevation
• At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be too rich.
Performance will decrease and fuel consumption will increase. A very rich
mixture will also foul the spark plug and cause hard starting. Operation
at an altitude that differs from that at which this engine was certified, for
extended periods of time, may increase emissions.
• The fuel system on this Engine or Equipment may be influenced by
operation at higher altitudes. Proper operation can be ensured by
installing an altitude kit when required. See the table below to determine
when an altitude kit is required. Operating this generator without the
proper altitude kit installed may increase the engine's emissions and
decrease fuel economy and performance. Kits may be obtained from any
Dealer, and should be installed by a qualified individual.

﹡ This high altitude jet is to be used at elevations above 3000 feet.
﹡ At elevations above 8000 feet, the engine may experience decreased
performance, even with the high altitude kit.
If a carburetor is replaced, the proper high altitude kit jet will need to be
installed into the replacement carburetor.
To prevent serious injury from fire: Follow the kit 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.
