• Retractable lap belts
Engine
• Liquid-cooled, three-cylinder diesel engine produces substantial torque – 38.3 lb-ft @ 2,800 rpm – and exceptional fuel economy
• Perfect for commercial job sites where diesel fuel is readily available
• Exhaust pipe routing allows easy hydraulic lift kit installation
• Overhead valve design maximizes efficiency
• Cast iron block and head help ensure extreme durability
Environmentally Friendly Emissions
• Positive crankcase ventilation system sends blow-by gases to the intake tract to be burned in the engine
• Muffler has a U.S. Forest Service-approved spark arrestor
Cyclone-type Engine Air Cleaner
• Cyclone design is effective and needs less frequent cleaning even in extremely dusty conditions
• Restriction gauge tells when to change the filter
• Donaldson® air cleaner has a replaceable paper element
Cab Frame Air Intake
• Draws engine air and converter cooling air from the top of the cab frame where there is less dust, so air filters last longer
At a glance…
• Seating for two or four via its revolutionary transformable design
• Digital fuel injected V-twin power
• Fully automatic transmission with selectable two
• or four-wheel drive
• Modern styling and low operating costs
• Electric Power Steering system (EPS)
Transformable Cargo Bed
• Two rows of seats easily accommodate up to four people
• Transformable from a four-passenger to a two-passenger off-road utility vehicle with the rear seat folded down and the cargo bed expanded to carry larger payload – from 400 pounds with four passengers to 800 pounds with two passengers
• Rear bench seat includes retractable seat belts and padded rear-passenger grab handle
Liquid-cooled, V-twin Engine
• Four-stroke, 617cc V-twin industrial engine produces exceptional torque at low engine speeds
• Modern four-stroke design with overhead valves for efficient running and good fuel economy
• Large capacity radiator and fan maintain consistent engine temperatures, even in hot climates
• Rubber engine mounts minimize vibration, noise and wear to maximize operation comfort and diminish fatigue
Digital Fuel Injection
• Computer-controlled fuel injection system automatically compensates for atmospheric pressure, air and engine temperature for easy, prompt engine starting under a variety of conditions
• Automatic fast idle speed control eliminates the need for a choke, allowing the operator to drive off immediately after a cold engine start
• Throttle bodies feature sub-throttle valves for optimum performance and drivability. The sub-throttles are located behind the main throttle valves and controlled by the ECU for smooth throttle response
• Automatic digital ignition system helps ensure smooth, efficient operation
• Maximum engine speed is controlled by the ECU, eliminating the need for a mechanical governor
• Offers easy engine operation and reduced maintenance requirements
Environmentally Friendly Emissions
• DFI® precision reduces fuel consumption and cuts exhaust emissions
• Positive crankcase ventilation system sends blow-by gases to the intake tract to be burned in the engine
• Muffler features a U.S. Forest Service-approved spark arrestor
Kawasaki Automatic Power-drive System - KAPS
• Fully automatic continuously variable transmission (CVT) features forward high and low and reverse, which helps keep the engine in the right operating rpm for a variety of vehicle speeds, loads or terrain
• The CVT has a wide spread of drive ratios for quick acceleration and ample pulling power
• Tuned to accommodate higher loads
• Large drive and driven torque converters maximize engagement area of the thick and strong drive belt for improved heat dissipation and added durability
• High-flow cover helps cool the CVT while providing superb splash protection and waterproofing
• Sheaves with high silicon type material for increased durability
• An open-sided drive pulley offers better cooling for longer belt life
• Offers adjustable belt deflection
Cab Frame Air Intake
• Draws engine air and converter cooling air from the top of the cab frame where there is less dust, so the air filter stays cleaner longer
Torque Converter Air Filter
• Efficient intake cooling fan draws plenty of air into the CVT
• Special air cleaner with easily replaceable filter element cuts torque converter wear by cooling it with filtered air
Four-wheel Drive with Two-speed Transfer Case
• Selectable four-wheel drive gives the operator traction options
• Shift to four-wheel drive and low range for maximum traction in adverse conditions, or select two-wheel drive and high range to cut gear wear and increase fuel economy
Dual Mode Differential
• Dual-mode rear differential can be locked for extra pulling power and maximum traction, or unlocked when traveling across delicate terrain
Electric Power Steering - EPS
• The EPS system reduces steering effort, especially at low speeds when turning effort is greatest
• The electric motor’s inertia significantly reduces bump steer and kickback to the steering wheel caused by shocks to the wheels for a more comfortable and controlled ride
• Input from vehicle speed and torque sensors determine the amount of steering assistance required from the system’s motor
• No power steering pump means no power loss from the engine
• EPS only operates when the engine is running to keep from draining the battery
Independent Strut-type Front Suspension
• MacPherson strut long-travel front suspension provide a comfortable ride and excellent load-carrying capability
• Stiffer springs prevent bottoming and increase ground clearance
DeDion Rear Suspension
• Overload-style leaf springs can handle heavy loads, yet provide a smooth ride when the cargo box is empty
• Semi-independent action
Four-wheel, Self-adjusting Sealed Hydraulic Drum Brakes
• Powerful, low maintenance four wheel brakes are self-adjusting and feature extra sealing for protection against mud, dust and debris
• Brake drums have an added flange and seal to resist mud and water
Wheels and Tires
• 23-inch tires with stiff sidewalls for an improved ride and added ground clearance
• Rear wheel bearings use two rollers in one large bearing for added durability
• Wheel bearings seals on all four wheels have three lips for better protection
Front Hood with Storage Tub
• Large under hood storage tub holds cargo out of sight
• Offers quick, easy access with a push-button latch
• Includes four D-rings for securing loads
