AUTHORIZED KAWASAKI DEALER

For over 40 years, Kawasaki has engineered high-


performance engines for virtually every power-
hungry category. From motorcycles to jet aircraft,
heavy construction to landscaping, Kawasaki has
always provided the muscle to get things done. That
power-delivery expertise goes into every Kawasaki
engine. And now, Kawasaki Critical Power engines
will produce at least 98% of their rated horsepower,
instead of the more commonly used 85%. With
Kawasaki, you get all the power you expect, backed
by almost a half-century of setting the standard for
engine productivity, reliability and performance.

Landscape pros worldwide have built their success
on the bedrock reliability of Kawasaki engines.
Part of that reliability is a rock-solid warranty. All
newly purchased Kawasaki engine series are
covered by a 3-year warranty. With that kind of
coverage, you can have confidence that the engines
you invest in will pay you back on the job.

Your favorite Kawasaki engine is now power-rated


to a tighter, automotive-caliber spec: SAE J2723.
Its a more precise way to rate the horsepower
youve always had. Your engine has not changed.
The output has not changed. Only the rating system
has changed for the better. It ensures that you
get at least 98% of rated horsepower, confirming
that the power you expect is the power you get.

FD SERIES
Liquid-Cooled V-Twin

FD Series engines are high-torque, professional-


grade powerplants that deliver smooth, reliable
overhead valve, V-twin power. Theyre engineered
with a compact footprint thats ideal for small
space installations and light weight for nimble
equipment handling. Full pressure lubrication and
cast-iron cylinder liners provide for an extended
life. And efficient liquid cooling makes for
maximum heat dispersion in tight engine bays. > Zero-turn riders
