RATING GUIDELINES

1. LOAD RATINGS
1.1 *Continuous rating may be used for constant load applications requiring uninterrupted service at full throttle for extended periods of time for Water Management
applications.
1.2 *WMR (Water Management Rating) may be used for constant load applications requiring uninterrupted service at full throttle for extende periods of time and conforms
with BS 5514 and DIN "A" 6271. Maximum pump size must not exceed WMR net.
1.3 Operating at Elevated Altitude and Temperature. Continuous Turbocharged ratings up to 5000 ft. (1524 m) and 100° F Ambient without derate.For altitudes above
5000 ft, derate 4% / 1000 ft and Ambient temperatures above 100°F,derate 1% per 10°F above 100°F.

2. SPEED RATINGS
2.1 If the application qualifies for the continuous load rating the governor cut-in point shall be set within the limits of the solid line portion of the continuous curve.

2.2 If the application qualifies for the maximum load rating the governor cut-in point shall be set within the limits of the solid line portion of the maximum curve.

3. DEFINITIONS
3.1 Load (Speed) factor is defined as the arithmetic mean of the Load (Speed) profile of the normal duty cycle, not including prolonged periods of idle operation.

4. INTERNATIONAL RATING GUIDELINES

*These ratings represent gross engine performance capabilities obtained and corrected in accordance with SAE J1995 and the condition as stated on the front of the curve.
The ratings are in conformance with the requirements specified in ISO 3046, BS 5514 and DIN 6271. Although these specific standards have a note excluding road
construction, earth moving equipment, agricultural and industrial trucks as applications not covered by the standard, these are included as acceptable applications of these
ratings.

The Maximum Rating conforms to ISO 3046 overload power and fuel stop power. The Continuous Rating may be used for continuous service in commercial applications and
it conforms to ISO 3046 continuous power.

Reference standards: BS 5514 and DIN 6271 standards are based on ISO 3046.
