8 After a few seconds, turn the choke lever completely to the left (indicated in
the sticker as "OPEN"). The airflow intake is open in this position and the
engine will begin to work stably, being ready for the connection of the
equipments.
CHOKE
NOTE: Do not leave the choke in an intermediate position, the blend would
be too rich and the engine would not work properly.
If the generator stops and doesn't start again, first verify the oil level.
Carburetor alteration for high altitude operation
In high altitudes, the normal air-fuel blend in the carburetor would be too rich.
Performance would decrease and fuel consumption would increase. A very rich
blend would also dirty the spark plug and make startup difficult.
If the generator is always operating in an altitude above 2500 meters, get in
touch with an authorized service to modify the carburetor (this service is not
warranted, therefore it would be budgeted).
The generator's output power will vary depending on the altitude and other
elements such as humidity and temperature, see chapter on environmental
correction of this manual.
NOTE: If the carburetor has been modified to operate at great altitude, the
air-fuel blend would be too poor to work in low altitudes. Operation at low
altitudes may cause the engine to overheat and be seriously damaged. It would
be necessary to return the carburetor to its original state.
