Data shown above represent gross engine performance capabilities obtained and corrected in accordance with ISO-3046 conditions of 100 kPa (29.53 in Hg)
barometric pressure [110 m (361 ft) altitude], 25 °C (77 °F) air inlet temperature, and relative humidity of 30% with No. 2 diesel or a fuel corresponding to ASTM D2.
See reverse side for application rating guidelines.
The fuel consumption data is based on No. 2 diesel fuel weight at 0.85 kg/liter (7.1 lbs/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.
