Once you have installed the kit, attach the
high-altitude label next to the serial decal on the
machine. Contact any Authorized Toro Service
Dealer to obtain the proper High Altitude Kit and
high-altitude label for your machine. To locate
a dealer convenient to you, access our website

Emission Control Warranty Statement. Remove
the kit from the engine and restore the engine to
its original factory configuration when running the

engine that has been converted for high-altitude
use at lower altitudes; otherwise, you could
overheat and damage the engine.
