Adjusting the carburettor for operation in high altitudes
In high altitudes, the standard air-fuel mixture is too rich for the carburettor. This will decrease the output and
increase the fuel consumption. Also, very rich mixture leads to spark plug contamination and causes start-up
problems. If the generator works in a high altitude, replace the main jet or adjust the carburettor idle screw.
If the generator is to be constantly operated at altitudes of more than 1,000m, please ask your authorized service
to adjust the carburettor. The generator output power should be adjusted according to the altitude and ambient
temperature. For correction factor, please refer to 13-2.

EN 14
FZI 4010 BI
Using the generator
If the carburettor has been adjusted for operation in high altitudes, the air-fuel
mixture will be too lean to be used in low altitudes. Operation in low altitude may
case overheating and lead to serious engine damage. The carburettor must be set
back according to the original specifications.
6. USING THE GENERATOR
Remember to ground the generator if the connected appliance is also grounded.
In order to prevent risk of electric shock or fire, don’t connect the equipment to
the building’s grid.

In order to ensure consistent operation, do not exceed the generator output
power.
Do not make parallel connections to other generators.
Do not fix any attachments to the exhaust.
If an extension lead is needed, use only flexible cable with solid rubber jacket
(according to IEC245 or equivalent standards).
Length of extension lead: 60 m for a 1,5 mm2 cross-section cable;
100 m for 2,5 mm² cross-section.
Keep away from other electric cables and wires.
Note:
The AC socket can be also used during DC power supply. When using simultaneously, make sure not to
exceed the total AC and DC power. (AC: 0.9 kVA, DC: 5 A)
Most motor appliances draw more than their rated power during start-up.
