Carburetor Modication for High
Altitude Operation
At high altitudes, 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.
If the generator operates at high altitude,
change the main nozzle or adjust the idling
screw of the carburetor.
If the generator will always operate at an al-
titude above 1,000 metres (3,280 feet), con-
WARNING!
If the carburetor has been modied for
high altitude operation, the air-fuel mix-
ture will be too lean for low altitude use.
Operation at low altitude may cause the
engine to overheat and result in seri-
ous engine damage. If operating at low
altitude, the carburetor will need to be
returned to its original specications.
WARNING!
Any connection to a mains power sys-
tem must be made by a qualied elec-
trician.
The generator must be isolated from
mains power via a transfer switch, and
must comply with the relevant laws and
electrical codes.
WARNING!
For continuous operation, do not ex-
ceed the rated ouput power of the gen-
erator.
Do not make parallel connection with
any other generators.
Do not connect an extension to the ex-
haust pipe.
When an extension cable is required,
be sure to use an appropriate cable.
Keep away from other electric cables
or wires.
Generator Use tact your generator service or engine author-
ised dealer to modify the carburetor.
Generator output power should be modied
according to the altitude and ambient tem-
perature.
AC Applications - 230V Output
1. Start the generator and make sure the
output indicator light (green) is on.
2. Conrm all electrical applicances are off,
and then plug into receptacles.
3. Turn on the AC breaker, and switch on
