|
| Liquid Cooled, V-Twin Engine |
• Four-stroke, 617cc V-Twin industrial engine produces exceptional torque at low engine speeds
• Modern four-stroke design with overhead valves for efficient running and good fuel economy
• Large capacity radiator and fan maintain consistent engine temperatures, even in hot climates
• Rubber engine mounts minimize vibration, noise and wear to maximize operation comfort and diminish fatigue
|
|
| Digital Fuel Injection |
• Computer controlled fuel injection system automatically compensates for atmospheric pressure, air and engine temperature, for easy, prompt engine starting under a variety of conditions
• Automatic fast idle speed control eliminates the need for a choke, allowing the operator to drive off immediately after a cold engine start
• Throttle bodies feature sub-throttle valves for optimum performance and drivability. The sub throttles are located behind the main throttle valves and controlled by the ECU for smooth throttle response
• Automatic digital ignition system helps ensure smooth efficient operation
• Maximum engine speed is controlled by the ECU, eliminating the need for a mechanical governor
• Offers easy engine operation and reduced maintenance requirements
|
|
| Cab Frame Air Intake |
• Draws engine air and converter cooling air from the top of the cab frame where there’s less dust, so the air filter stays cleaner longer
|
|
| Environmentally Friendly Emissions |
• DFI precision reduces fuel consumption and cuts exhaust emissions
• Positive crankcase ventilation system sends blow-by gasses to the intake tract to be burned in the engine
• Muffler features a U.S. Forest Service-approved spark arrestor
|
|
| Kawasaki Automatic Power-Drive System (KAPS) |
• Fully automatic continuously variable transmission (CVT) features forward high and low and reverse, and helps keep the engine in the right operating rpm for a variety of vehicle speeds, loads, or terrain
• The CVT has a wide spread of drive ratios for quick acceleration and ample pulling power
• An open sided drive pulley cools better for longer belt life
• Offers adjustable belt deflection
|
|
| Electric Power Steering (EPS) |
• The EPS system reduces steering effort, especially at low speeds when turning effort is greatest
• Input from a vehicle speed and torque sensors determine the amount of steering assistance required from the system’s electric motor
• To keep from draining the battery, the EPS only operates when the engine is running
• When engine is stopped, more force is needed to turn the steering wheel even if the ignition is switched on
|
|
| Four-Wheel Drive with 2-Speed Transfer Case |
• Selectable four-wheel drive gives the operator traction options
• Shift to four-wheel drive and low range for maximum traction in adverse conditions or select two-wheel drive and high range to cut gear wear and increase fuel economy
|
|
| Dual Mode Differential |
• Dual-mode rear differential can be “locked” for extra pulling power and maximum traction or unlocked when traveling across delicate terrain
|
|
| Independent Strut-Type Front Suspension |
• MacPherson strut long-travel front suspension provide a comfortable ride and excellent load-carrying capability
• Stiffer springs prevent bottoming and increase ground clearance
|
|
| DeDion Rear Suspension |
• Overload-style leaf springs can handle heavy loads, yet provide a smooth ride when the cargo box is empty
• Semi-independent action
|
|
| 4-Wheel, Self-Adjusting Sealed Hydraulic Drum Brakes |
• Four wheel brakes are self-adjusting and feature extra sealing for protection against mud, dust and debris
• The brake drums have an added flange and seal to keep out mud and water
• Low maintenance and powerful
|
|
| Wheels and Tires |
• 23-inch tires with stiff sidewalls for an improved the ride and added ground clearance
