High Altitude requirements:
• At altitudes over 5,000 feet (1524 meters), a minimum 85
octane / 85 AKI (89 RON) gasoline is acceptable.
• For carbureted engines, high altitude adjustment is
required to remain emissions compliant. Operation
without this adjustment will cause decreased
performance, increased fuel consumption, and increased
emissions. Contact a Briggs & Stratton Authorized
Service Dealer for high altitude adjustment information.
• Operation of the engine at altitudes below 2,500 feet
(762 meters) with the high altitude adjustment is not
recommended.
• For Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) engines, no high
altitude adjustment is necessary.
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive.
Always handle fuel with extreme care.
Failure to observe these safety instructions can cause fire
or explosion which could result in severe burns or death.

• Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and fittings frequently for
cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.
