NOTICE
This generator is not equipped with altitude carburetor modication. Even with a carburetor modication, engine horsepower will
decrease about 3.5% for each 300 meter (1,000 foot) increase in altitude. The eect of altitude on horsepower will be greater if no
carburetor modication is made. A decrease in engine horsepower will decrease the power output of the generator. Contact our
service team to order altitude kits.
