• 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

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
Heavy-duty Battery and Alternator

Kawasaki Automatic Power-drive System (KAPS)
• Fully automatic continuously variable transmission (CVT) features forward high and low and reverse, and 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 cools better for longer belt life
• Offers adjustable belt deflection
Torque Converter Air Filter
• Efficient intake cooling fan draws plenty of air into the CVT

• 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
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
