OPERATION AT HIGH
ABOVE SEA LEVEL ALTITUDES
y At a higher above sea level altitude (above 1000 m
a.s.l.) the fuel:air ratio changes in the carburettor
towards flooding with fuel (insufficient amount of
air). This results in reduced performance, increased
fuel consumption, carbonisation of the engine,
exhaust pipe, spark plug and more difficult starting.
Operation at high above sea level altitudes also
negatively affects exhaust fume emissions.
y In the event that you wish to operate the generator at
an altitude greater than 1,000 metres above sea level for
an extended period of time, have the carburettor read-
justed at an authorised generator service centre for the
HERON® brand.
Do not adjust the carburettor yourself!
•
ATTENTION
y Even with the recommended readjustment of the
generator's carburettor, the performance nevertheless
declines by about 3.5% per every 305 m of above sea
level altitude. Without performing the above-described
readjustments, the loss in performance is even greater.
y When the generator is operated at an above sea level
altitude that is lower than for which the carburettor
is set, the carburettor has a lower fuel mixture, which
again results in a loss in performance. Therefore, it is
necessary to readjust the carburettor.

IX. Repairs
and maintenance
1. Before commencing maintenance tasks, turn off
the engine and position it generator on a rigid
horizontal surface.
2. Allow the generator to cool down before perfor-
ming maintenance (servicing) tasks.
•
ATTENTION
y Only original spare parts of the manufacturer may
be used for repairs of the generator.
y Regular inspections, maintenance, checks, audits and
adjustments in regular intervals are an essential pre-
requisite for ensuring safety and for achieving high per-
formance of the generator. Table 2 provides the plan of
tasks that must be performed in regular intervals by the
operator themselves and that may only be performed
by an authorised service centre for the HERON® brand.
y To exercise a claim to warranty repairs, it is neces-
sary to present/provide documentation of proof
of purchase and performed servicing inspections
- tasks. These records are entered into the second
part of the user's manual designated as "Warranty
and service". Not presenting/providing servicing
records will be deemed to constitute neglected
maintenance, which will result in loss of guarantee
according to the warranty conditions.
In the event of a malfunction on the generator and the
submission of a claim to free warranty repairs, the failure
to adhere to these service tasks represents grounds for
rejection of the warranty on the basis of neglect of mainte-
nance and non-adherence to the user's manual.
 To extend the lifetime of the generator, we recom-
mend that a complete inspection is performed after
1200 hours of operation, including repairs, covering
the following tasks:
y the same tasks according to the maintenance plan
after every 200 hours and the following tasks that
may only be performed by an authorised service
centre for the HERON® brand:
y inspection of the crankshaft, piston rod and piston
y inspection of collector rings, carbon brushes of the
alternator or shaft bearings
