4.5 Push the choke knob to the OPEN position as the engine war-
ms up, see Fig.11.
High altitude operation
At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be excessively rich.
Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase.
High altitude performance can be improved by installing a smaller diameter main
jet in the carburetor. If you continuously operate the generator at altitudes higher
than 5000 feet or 1500 meters above sea level, have your authorized dealer install
the high altitude main jet kit. No other adjustments to the carburetor are necessary
Even with suitable carburetor re-jetting, engine horsepower will decrease
approximately 3.5% for each 1000 feet or 305 meter increase in altitude. The
effect of altitude on the horsepower will be greater than this if no carburetor
modification is made. For use at lower altitudes, be sure to have your dealer return
your generator to the original specification.
CAUTION
Operation of the generator at an altitude lower than the carburetor is jetted
for may result in reduced performance, overheating, and serious engine
damage caused by an excessively lean air/fuel mixture.
-10-
7. MAINTENANCE
The purpose of the maintenance and adjustment schedule is to keep the generator
in the best operating condition.
CAUTION
Use genuine Kipor parts or the equivalent. The use of replacement
parts which are not of equivalent quality may damage the generator
and void thewarranty.
WARNING
Shut off the engine before performing any maintenance. If the engine must
be run, make sure the area is well ventilated. The exhaust contains
poisonous carbon monoxide gas.
NOTE: (1) Log hours of operation to determine proper maintenance.
(2) Service more frequently when used in dusty areas.
