Carburettor Modification for High Altitude Operation.
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 difficult starting. If the generator operates at high altitude, change the main-nozzle
or adjust the idling screw of carburetor.

If the generator always operates at altitude above 1,000 meters, contact your dealer to modify
the carburetor.
Generator output power should be modified according to the altitude and ambient
temperature. The correction factor refers to 13-2.
If the carburetor has been modified for high altitude operation, the air-fuel mixture will be too
lean for low altitude use. Operation at low altitude may cause the engine to overheat and
result in serious engine damage. The carburetor needs to be returned to its original
specification.
6.0 Generator Use.

To avoid producing the sparks at the terminals of battery, connect the charging cables firstly
to the battery terminals, and then to the generator. When disconnecting the cables do so first
at the generator.
Before connecting the charging cables to a battery that is installed in a vehicle, the grounded/
chassis cable of the battery should be disconnected first. This sequence will prevent sparks or
a short-circuit, if the cable accidentally contacts the vehicle’s frame or body.
NOTE
Do not start the car's engine when the generator is still connected to the battery, otherwise the
generator will be damaged.
Connect the positive battery terminal to the positive charging cable. Do not reverse the charging
cable, otherwise generator or battery will be damaged seriously.
WARNING
WARNING
When charging the battery releases highly explosive oxygen/hydrogen gases. Keep the battery
away from sparks/fire and other sources of ignition. Always charge the battery in a well
ventilated area.
Battery electrolyte contains sulphuric acid which will cause severe burns if it comes into
contact with the skin and eyes. Therefore it is necessary to wear the protective clothing and
mask.
If battery electrolyte gets into eyes or onto skin, flush thoroughly with warm water for 15
minutes at least, and call a doctor immediately.
If you accidently swallow any battery electrolyte, call for medical/first aid assistance
immediately. If no medical/first aid assistance is available call or get someone else to dial 999.
Keep batteries and electrolyte OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
NOTE
The DC receptacle can be used while the AC power is in use.
When DC circuit overload will trip the DC circuit protector, remove load firstly, and then reset the
protector after a few minutes.
