De-Rating for Altitude
This is not usually necessary for the 4.236 marine engine. A small loss of power will occur when temperature and
humidity conditions are particularly adverse and allowance for this should be made when
designing the propeller.
When the engine is required to operate on a lake more than 4,000 feet above sea level, contact Technical Services
Department, Perkins Engines Ltd., Peterborough or one of those Overseas Companies listed on Page 11.
