High Altitude Performance Adjustment Information
To improve the EMISSIONS CONTROL PERFORMANCE of engines operated above 1,000 meters (3,300
feet) , Kawasaki recommends the following Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California Air Re-
sources Board (CARB) approved modifications. High altitude adjustment requires replacement of carburetor
main jets. Installation of these optional parts may be performed by an authorized Kawasaki engine dealer or
equally qualified service facility, following repair recommendations specified in the appropriate Kawasaki Ser-
vice document or parts catalog.
Operating the engine with the wrong engine configuration at a given altitude may increase its emissions and
decrease fuel efficiency and performance.
○
When properly performed, these specified modifications only are not considered to be emissions system
"tampering" and engine performance is generally unchanged as a result.
