HIGH ALTITUDE REPLACEMENT KIT
HIGH ALTITUDE REPLACEMENT KIT FOR EPAIII ENGINES
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.
Equipment model*
* Engine, Generator Set, Pressure Washer, Walk-Behind Lawnmower,
Compressor, Pump, Tiller etc.
** Elevation above sea level.
* 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.
The warranty may be void if necessary adjustments are not made
for high altitude use.
