Electronic Throttle Control that reacts instantly to any applied load from its environment to maintain smooth, consistent power in any condition.
-
Maximized Engine Life
Features an oil system that reduces oil temperature, improves lubrication, maximizes engine life and extends oil change intervals.
Look Forward to Less Maintenance & More Profit with Oil Guard™
Vanguard® Oil Guard™ technology is an advanced system engineered to keep your equipment out of the shop and on the job, allowing you to make more money**. The Oil Guard system features an external reservoir with a 6-quart capacity. This extends the life of the oil and better protects the engine.
Other unique features of this revolutionary innovation include:
- Easy-fill cap and integrated oil filter to make oil changes easier, cleaner and faster.
- High-capacity external oil reservoir that keeps oil and engine cooler.
- Unique dry sump system that ensures offangle lubrication and minimizes thermal breakdown of oil.
**Cost savings based on standard oil maintenance with 100 hour interval versus Oil Guard System 500 hour service interval.
