hot from use, shut the Engine off and wait for it to cool before proceeding.

High Altitude Kit for EPAIII Engines
3000ft to 6000ft or 6000ft to 8000ft of elevation
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 hard starting. Operation at an altitude that differs from
that at which this Engine was certified, for extended periods of time, may increase emissions.
The fuel system on this Engine or Equipment may be influenced by operation at higher altitudes. Proper operation can be
ensured by installing an altitude kit when required. See the table below to determine when an altitude kit is required.
Operating this Engine without the proper altitude kit installed may increase the Engine’s emissions and decrease fuel
economy and performance. Kits may be obtained from DR Power Equipment and should be installed by a qualified individual.

*Elevation above sea level.
This high altitude jet is to be used at elevations above 3000 feet.
At elevations above 8000 feet, the Engine may experience decreased performance, even with the high-altitude kit.
If a carburetor is replaced, the proper high altitude kit jet will need to be installed into the replacement carburetor.
The Spark Plug must be tightened securely or it may become very hot and
damage the Engine.
Only use recommended Spark Plug or the equivalent. Incorrect heat
range of the Spark Plug may damage the Engine.
The warranty may be void if necessary adjustments are not made for high altitude use by installing a high altitude kit.
