Altitude Kit Installation - iGen2200, iGen2500, iPro2500

HIGH ALTITUDE REPLACEMENT KIT

Engine performance decreases as altitude increases. 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 generator without the proper altitude kit installed may increase the engine’s emissions and decrease fuel economy and performance.

• This high altitude kit is to be used at elevations above 2000 feet.
• At elevations above 7000 feet, the engine may experience decreased performance, even with the high altitude kit.
• If the carburetor is replaced, the proper high altitude kit jet will need to be installed into the replacement carburetor.
• The warranty may be void if necessary adjustments are not made for high altitude use.
• DO NOT throw away any carburetor jets. You may need them again if you change altitude of operation. 

WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM FIRE:
Perform kit procedures in a well ventilated area away from ignition sources. If the engine is hot from use, shut the engine off and wait for it to cool before proceeding. Do not smoke near generator.
It is recommended to completely drain all the gasoline from the fuel tank and carburetor float. See owners manual for proper instructions on how to safely drain fuel.
