Altitude and Temperature Limitations

All units are subject to derating for altitude and

temperature as it relates to engine cooling capacity and

other capabilities. Derating reduces the available power

for operating tools and accessories connected to the

outlets. For the MDG250/175/150, the engine can

provide full prime power up to an altitude of 10,000 ft

(3,048 m). There will be a limitation in power output of 5%

if the unit is operated 1,000 ft (305 m) above the

maximum altitude indicated.

The maximum air temperature at which the unit can

provide full prime power is defined in the table below. If

the unit is operated beyond this limit at full power, the

coolant temperature will exceed the maximum allowable

limit of 235 °F (113 °C) and cause the engine to shut

down.

NOTE: For information specific to generator derating,

see the OEM generator manual included with the unit.
