Features

Simplified 3-Step Starting

The new optimized 3-step starting process allows for shorter rope pull with less pull force required. Tested down to -29°C to ensure easier starting in all temperatures.

Eliminate Fuel/Oil Dilution

Exclusive TransportGuard™ System guards against unnecessary oil wastage, equipment downtime and reduced productivity. By simply turning the 3-in-1 control to the STOP position, the engine ignition and fuel supply are shut-off simultaneously — resolving the number one rental equipment return issue.

Optimized Fuel Management

Specially designed fuel system improves resistance to effects of stale fuel.

More Efficient Power Management

Governed idle allows more usable power at idle, precise speed setting and better load response.

Fewer Air Filter Changes

Lower total cost of ownership from unmatched 600-hour air filter replacement intervals — double the industry standard — thanks to cyclonic air filtration, standard on all Vanguard single cylinder engines.

Longer Oil Maintenance Intervals

Engine oil maintenance intervals are double the industry standard — lowering total cost of ownership. Your equipment uptime is increased while maintenance costs and associated downtime are reduced. Up to 50% less oil wastage* lowers recycling expenses.

Advanced Engine Protection
