Power and Performance on Demand. KOHLER Command PRO 17- HP air-cooled, vertical- and horizontal-shaft, V-twin engines. KOHLER COMMAND PRO
SPECIALLY DESIGNED OIL COOLER All KOHLER Command PRO 17- HP vertical and - HP horizontal models have a plate-type oil cooler. It maintains the lowest possible oil temperature during the entire power range, regardless of application or duty cycle. It also protects the environment by extending oil change intervals. ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION (EFI) The Command PRO HP and HP engines include electronic fuel injection. EFI provides consistent starting, reliable throttle response and superior fuel economy. Specs can also be customized for a complete vehicle management system. HYDRAULIC VALVE SMOOTHNESS KOHLER Command PRO engines feature hydraulic valve lifters. Oil-pressurized valve lifters ensure that push rods remain in constant contact with rocker arms, eliminating valve adjustment. This makes the Command PRO valve train nearly maintenance free. ELECTRONIC IGNITION OVERHEAD VALVE EFFICIENCY Command PRO valves are positioned directly over the piston, providing greater volumetric efficiency and a higher compression ratio. This means you get virtually no carbon buildup, increased power, improved fuel economy and cooling, as well as reduced oil consumption. The result? Reduced maintenance costs. Command PRO models have electronic ignition for a stronger spark at low cranking speed. This means faster, all-weather starts even at temperatures as low as - degrees F. LONG ENGINE LIFE Built in the U.S.A., Command PRO engines utilize only the finest quality components. An induction-hardened crankshaft, long-life cylinder liners, valve seats of high chromium/tungsten alloys and Stellite exhaust valves contribute to long engine life. KOHLER Step-Lock connecting rods are precisely aligned for superior bearing lubrication. What s more, the Command PRO design employs special cam-ground, contoured pistons. QUIET PERFORMANCE The KOHLER exclusive, whisper-quiet hydraulic valve lifters, engineered material blower housing, helical gears and available mufflers make Command PRO twins the industry standard for quiet performance. CONVENIENT MAINTENANCE The easy-access, large-capacity air cleaner and pre-cleaner provide maximum protection. Command PRO twins require only 0-hour oil changes under normal running conditions and 0-hour filter changes. The spin-on oil filter and convenient oil fill and drain locations make changes quick and easy. Electronic ignition and hydraulic valve lifters are maintenance free for the life of the engine. And the OHV design eliminates decarboning. TWO-YEAR WARRANTY KOHLER engines are backed by nearly 13,000 dealers and distributors worldwide, and a two-year limited warranty covering both consumer and commercial applications. When you specify KOHLER engines, you re getting the best. 3
