10. HIGH ALTITUDE ENGINE OPERATION
■
Please have an authorized Robin America service dealer
modify this engine if it is to be run continuously above
5000 feet (1500 meters). Failure to do so, may result in
poor engine performance, spark plug fouling, hard
starting, and increased emissions.
■
Carburetor modification by an authorized Robin America
service dealer will improve performance and allow that
this engine meets EPA (Environmental Protection
Agency) and California ARB (Air Resources Board)
emission standards throughout its useful life.
■
An engine converted for high altitudes can not be run at
5000 feet or lower. In doing so, the engine will overheat
and cause serious engine damage.
Please have an authorized Robin America service dealer
restore high altitude modified engines to the original
factory specification before operating below 5000 feet.
