Kilowatt (kW) and horsepower (HP) specifications for Kohler general purpose engines are calculated pursuant to the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) J1940 for horsepower ratings - calculated with the air cleaner and muffler removed, per the SAE standard. Actual engine horsepower is lower and affected by, but not limited to, accessories (air cleaner, exhaust, charging, cooling, fuel pump, etc.), application, engine speed and ambient operating conditions (temperature, humidity and altitude). The reason for this standard is to provide consistent measurement to customers who may want to control the intake and exhaust features of the engine. It is important to note that the power output of all Kohler engines is always as advertised. For more information, contact Kohler Co. Engine Engineering Department. Kohler Co. reserves the right to change product specifications,designs and standard equipment without notice and without incurring obligation.
