Kohler Diesel Liquid-Cooled

KDW1404

The diesel engine delivers the Performance Engineering standards you've come to expect from Kohler. An advanced injection system uses fuel more efficiently while high-efficiency combustion significantly lowers emissions. The belt-driven, overhead camshaft and low-turbulence means quieter operation. Liquid-cooled, four cylinders, horizontal shaft, cast iron block construction, aluminum cylinder heads and multiple power takeoff points means maximum performance for a variety of applications all backed by a 3-year full warranty.

Overview

User-Friendly.

Compact heavy-duty design with multiple power takeoff points and extensive selection of available accessories give the flexibility to power many different equipment applications.

Durable, Long Life Design.

Hydraulic valve lifters reduce maintenance by requiring virtually no adjustments.

Comfortable Operation.

Smooth operation due to superior balance and lower cylinder volume. Belt driven camshaft, low turbulence pre-combustion chamber and indirect injection all contribute to reducing noise.

Features

Reliability and Long Life Design.

  • Advanced injection system that delivers fuel more efficiently.
  • Superior performance over a broader rpm range.
  • High-efficiency combustion which significantly lowers emissions to meet all CARB, EPA and EURO emissions standards.
  • Lower vibration caused by a combination of fewer moving parts, superior balance and lower cylinder volume.
  • Reduced sound due to belt-driven overhead camshaft, low-turbulence precombustion chamber and inherently quieter indirect injection design.
  • Compact, heavy-duty design with multiple power takeoff points for increased application flexibility.

1 Max Power (hp) and Max Torque (lbs ft) specifications for Kohler general purpose engines are rated pursuant to Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) J1940 based on gross output testing performed according to SAE J1995 without the air cleaner and muffler. Actual engine power and torque are lower and affected by accessories (air cleaner, exhaust, charging, cooling, fuel pump, etc.), application, engine speed, ambient operating conditions (temperature, humidity and altitude) and other factors. This J1940 / J1995 rating provides consistent measurement to customers who may want to control the intake and exhaust features of the engine. 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.
