    The document contains a power curve chart showing the relationship between Waukesha Knock Index (WKI) values and allowable engine load for a Waukesha VHP L7042GSI S4 engine with an Engine System Manager (ESM). The chart shows that as the WKI value increases from 30 to 110, the allowable load in pounds per square inch (psi) increases from around 90 psi to over 150 psi. The document also provides 7 notes explaining details about calculating WKI, how the ESM controls ignition timing based on WKI, fuel properties, and ambient conditions that impact engine load ratings.

    NOTES:
    1. A computer program to calculate WKI and SLHV is available from Waukesha Application Engineering.
    2. Ignition timing [controlled by the Engine System Manager (ESM)] is variable depending on load and speed.
    3. A calculated WKI value must be entered into the ESM using the ESP for proper ignition timing determination by the ESM.
    4. Ratings apply for fuels above 850 BTU/SCF (33.4 MJ/m3) LHV.
    5. For fuels outside the range covered here contact Waukesha Application Engineering.
    6. The allowable fuel variation range for maintaining continuous rated load without adjustment is +/-150 BTU/SCF (+/-5.9 MJ/m3)
    SLHV.
    7. Reference Power Adjustments For Altitude And Ambient Temperature S-8154-101 for derate information.
