* The power rating of the engine indicated in this document is the net power output tested on a production engine for
the engine model and measured in accordance with SAE J1349 at 3600 rpm.  Mass production engines may vary
from this value.  Actual power output for the engine installed in the final machine will vary depending on numerous
factors, including the operating speed of the engine in application, environmental conditions, maintenance, and other
variables.

**For units equipped with electric start, use a 12 volt battery with a minimum capacity of 18Ah.  

The maximum

physical battery dimensions (L x W x H) are 15” x 4.9” x 9” (381.0 x 124.5 x 227.0 mm).  

Batteries are not supplied

with electric start units.
