High Altitude Replacement Kit

The standard carburetor air-fuel mixture is too rich at high

altitudes for this unit. Performance decreases and fuel

consumption increases at high altitudes. A rich mixture

also fouls the spark plug and causes hard starting. Oper-

ation for extended periods of time at an altitude that dif-

fers from what the engine was certified for may increase

emissions.

Install an altitude kit, when required, when operating at

higher altitudes. Follow the guide below to determine

when an altitude kit is required:

Kits can be obtained by contacting Generac Customer

Service at 1-888-436-3722 (1-888-GENERAC), or visit-

ing www.generac.com. Kits must be installed by a quali-

fied individual.

NOTE: If a carburetor is replaced, the correct high alti-

tude kit jet will need to be installed into the replacement

carburetor.

NOTE: The warranty may be void if necessary installa-

tion of a high altitude kit is not made for high altitude use.
