Operation at high altitudes
At high altitudes above sea level the standard air-fuel mixture is too
rich. Increase performance and fuel consumption.

It is possible to improve performance at high altitudes by installing
a smaller fuel nozzle in the carburetor and adjusting the pilot screw.
If the tractor is always used at altitudes greater than 1830 m above
sea level, contact your dealer to make the necessary modifications
to the carburetor.
Also with a suitable carburetor nozzle, engine power will decrease
approximately 3-5% each time you climb about 300 m altitude. But
there would be major reductions in power if modifications were not
made to the carburetor.
