⚠CAUTION
HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
Operating at an altitude of greater than 6000 feet (1828 meters) may affect your engines performance,
fuel consumption, and emissions. To remain emissions compliant and improve engine performance at
higher altitudes, a high-altitude kit is required. A high-altitude kit includes a carburetor jet resized to
help correct air / fuel mixture at altitude. To order a high-altitude kit or if you have additional questions,
go to www.northerntool.com or contact us at 1-866-443-2576. Please note, engines with the high-
altitude kit installed operated at lower altitudes could cause severe engine damage and affect
emissions compliance. When modified, a tag or decal should be added to the product stating that a
high-altitude kit was installed and to remind you to re-service the carburetor (re-jet) when operating in
lower altitude environments.
