High Altitude Operation

This engine has been factory adjusted to maintain satisfactory starting, emission, and durability performance up to 1100 feet above sea level (ASL) (96.0 kPa). To maintain proper engine operation and emission compliance above 1100 feet ASL the carburetor may need to be adjusted by an authorized ECHO service dealer.
