OPERATION

HIGH ALTITUDE USE

CARBURETOR MODIFICATION

NOTICE

When carburetor has been modified for high altitude operation, the air-fuel

mixture will be too lean for low altitude use and may cause engine damage.

At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be excessively

rich. Performance will decrease and fuel consumption will increase. A very rich

mixture will also foul the spark plug and cause hard starting. Opera-tion at an

altitude different than that which this engine was certified, for extended periods

of time, may increase emissions.

High altitude operation can be improved by specific modifications to the

carburetor. If always operating the generator at altitudes above 3000 feet (915

meters), have an authorized Polaris servicing dealer perform the carburetor

modification. The engine will meet each emission standard throughout its life

when operated at high altitude with the carburetor modifications for high altitude

operation.

With the carburetor modification, engine horsepower will decrease by about

3.5% for every 1000 feet (300 meters) increase in altitude. The effect of altitude

on horsepower will be greater if no carburetor modification is made.

CAUTION

Operation of the generator at an altitude lower than the carburetor is jetted for

may result in reduced performance, overheating, and serious engine damage

caused by an excessively lean air/fuel mixture. Be sure to have any

modification reversed at lower altitudes.

ALTITUDE KITS

For added convenience, POLARIS offers high altitude kits which optimize

performance and fuel consumption at various altitude ranges. For installation

instruction, see page 61.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS

SOURCE OF EMISSIONS

Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide, nitrous oxide (NOx), and hydrocarbons.

It is very important to control the emissions of NOx and hydrocarbons as they

are a major contributor to air pollution. Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas.

The emission of fuel vapors is a source of pollution as well. The generator

engine utilizes a precise air-fuel ratio and emission control system to reduce the

emissions of carbon monoxide, NOx, hydrocarbons, and evaporative fuel

emissions.

Polaris utilizes appropriate air-fuel ratios and other emissions control systems to

reduce the emissions of carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, and

hydrocarbons. In addition, Polaris fuel systems utilize components and control

technologies to reduce evaporative emissions.

caused by the owner's or operator’s improper maintenance or use, by accidents

for which POLARIS has no responsibility, or by acts of God.

TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE

The generator engine owner must, at their own expense, take the small off-road

engine, or the product on which it is installed, along with the sales registration

card or other proof of original purchase date, to any qualified repair shop or

qualified person. Any qualified repair shop or person may maintain, replace, or

repair the emission control devices or systems on your product. An authorized

POLARIS dealer can perform any service that may be necessary for your

product. POLARIS also recommends POLARIS parts, however equivalent parts

may be used for such service. It is a potential violation of the Clean Air act if a

part supplied by an aftermarket parts manufacturer reduces the effectiveness of

the product’s emission controls. Tampering with emission controls is prohibited

by federal law.

IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A

PERIOD DESCRIBED HEREIN. POLARIS DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS
