Description

A liquid-cooled, 3-cylinder diesel engine provides exceptional power, performance, fuel economy, and durability to handle commercial-use applications:

Large displacement provides exceptional torque
Cast-iron block improves noise absorption
Quality features include cast-iron cylinder liners, overhead valves, full-pressure lubrication, and replaceable oil filter
Solenoid-shift starter ensures easy starts, even in cold weather
High-energy glow plugs ensure quick starts in cold weather; an automatic sensing system tells the operator when the engine is ready to start
Mechanical fuel bleed eliminates the need for tools and fuel leaking onto the ground when bleeding the fuel system:
Simply pump the fuel pump that is located on the side of the engine
Electric fuel shutoff eliminates the need for a separate kill switch
Indirect injection with pre-combustion chambers provide smooth, quiet operation
Engine-mounted 40-amp alternator supplies regulated charge to the battery for fast recharge:
Also provides plenty of power for 12-volt-powered attachments and accessories
Low exhaust emissions are certified to meet U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state of California standards for cleaner air:
Overhead valve design for efficient airflow
Swirl chamber combustion design for efficient combustion
Liquid cooled for more consistent operating temperatures
Closed crankcase ventilation recirculates and burns crankcase hydrocarbons

The diesel engine uses a heavy-duty cyclonic canister-type replaceable air filter:

Completely sealed for effective cleaning
Cyclone action that is designed to eject 90 percent to 95 percent of the dirt before it reaches the paper element
Secondary safety element that provides additional filtering
Total effective filter area of 512 sq in. (3303 sq cm)
