Curves shown represent gross engine

performance capabilities obtained and
corrected in accordance with SAE J1995
conditions of 99 kPa (29.31 in Hg) dry
barometric pressure (90 m [300 ft.] altitude),
25 °C (77 °F) air inlet temperature, and 1 kPa
(0.30 in. Hg) water vapor pressure.

All data is based on the engine operating

with fuel system, water pump, lubricating oil
pump, air cleaner, and muffler; not included
are alternator, compressor, fan, optional
equipment, and driven components. Curves
represent performance with No. 2 diesel fuel.

The engine may be operated at altitudes up

to 3 600 m (12,000 ft.) without changing the
fuel setting.
