At high altitude, the usual air–fuel mixture will be extremely
rich. The yield will decrease, and fuel consumption will
increase. A very rich mixture will decrease the spark and
cause a bad start.
High altitude performance can be improved by installing
thinner fuel tubing in the carburettor and adjusting the pilot
screw. If you always use the generator at altitudes above 15
00m above sea level, you should seek specialised technical
assistance to make the necessary adjustments. Even with
proper fuel injection, the power of the generator decreases
on average by 3.5%, for every 300m of altitude increase.
The effect of altitude on power will be greater if the
necessary adjustments are not made.
If an engine prepared for high altitudes is used at low
altitudes, the air-fuel mixture will reduce yield and
may overheat the engine causing serious engine damage.
Parallel operation allows power level combination (Table 5)
of 2 inverter generators, regardless of model.
This connection is possible with the use of special parallel
operation cables, which allow higher power output when
compared to the use of a single generator.
All VITO inverter generator models are designed to run both
individually and in parallel.
