Rating Conditions: Ratings are in accordance with ISO 15550 and ISO 8528-5 reference conditions; air pressure at 100 kPa (29.61 in
Hg), air temperature 25°C (77°F), and 30% relative humidity. The fuel consumption data is based on No. 2 diesel fuel weight at 0.85
kg/liter (7.001 lb/U.S. gal).
Power output curves are based on the engine operating with fuel system, water pump, and lubricating oil pump; not included are battery
charging alternator, fan, optional equipment, and driven components.
Values from engine control modules and displayed on instrument panels are not absolute. Tolerance varies, but is generally less than
+/-5% when operating within 30% of rated power.
Unless otherwise specified, tolerance on all values is +/-5%.
Prime Power Rating is applicable for supplying continual electrical power at varied load. The following are the Prime Rating
parameters:
* Prime Power is available for an unlimited number of hours per year in a variable load application. Variable load should not exceed a
70% average of the Prime Power rating during any operating period of 250 hours.
* The total operating time at 100% Prime Power shall not exceed 500 hours per year.
* There is a 10% overload capability for a period of 1 hour within a 12 hour period of operation. Total operating time at 10% overload
shall not exceed 25 hours per year.

² No rear loads can be applied when the FPTO is fully loaded. Max PTO torque is contingent on torsional analysis results for the specific drive
system. Consult Installation Direction Booklet for Limitations.
³ Heat rejection to coolant values are based on 50% water/50% ethylene glycol mix and do NOT include fouling factors. If sourcing your own cooler,
a service fouling factor should be applied according to the cooler manufacturer's recommendation.
