Note (1)

Advertised power is tested per the specified standard in effect at the time of manufacture

Note (2)

Net power ratings are tested at the reference conditions for the specified standard and denote power available at the flywheel when engine is equipped with alternator, air cleaner, emission components and fan at specified speed.

Note (3)

No derating required up to 3000 m (10,000 ft) altitude. Auto derate protects hydraulic and transmission systems.
