The engine is powered with direct fuel injection. A mechanical governor controls the fuel injection pump output in order to maintain the engine rpm that is selected by the operator. This provides good engine response and good fuel economy.

The cooling system consists of the following components:

  • Centrifugal pump that is driven by belts

  • Water temperature regulator which regulates the engine coolant temperature

  • Oil cooler and radiator which incorporates a shunt system

The engine lubricating oil that is supplied is cooled. The engine lubricating oil is also filtered. Bypass valves provide unrestricted flow of lubrication oil to the engine components during the following conditions:

  • High oil viscosity

  • Plugged oil cooler or plugged oil filter elements (paper cartridge)
