41135 ENGLISH Operation Wattage Reference Chart Operation at High Altitude Use the chart to determine approximate wattage requirements for your equipment. The density of air at high altitude is lower than at sea level. Engine power is reduced as the air mass and airfuel ratio decrease. Engine power and generator output will be reduced approximately 3½% for every 1000 feet of elevation above sea level. This is a natural trend and cannot be changed by adjusting the engine.
