All data is based on the engine operating with fuel system, water pump, and 15 in H2O (3.73 kpa) inlet air restriction with 4 in (102 mm) inner
diameter, and with 3.00 in Hg (10 kpa) exhaust restriction with 3 in (76 mm) inner diameter; not included are alternator, fan, optional equipment
and driven components. Coolant flows and heat rejection data based on coolants as 50% ethylene glycol/50% water. All data is subject to
change without notice.

Curves shown above represent gross engine performance capabilities obtained and corrected in accordance with SAE J1995 conditions of 29.61
in Hg (100 kPa) barometric pressure [300ft (91m) altitude] 77 deg F (25 deg C) inlet air temperature, and 0.30 in Hg (1kPa) water vapor pressure
with No. 2 diesel fuel. At speeds above 800 RPM the engine may be operated at altitudes up to 5,249 ft (1,600 m) before electronic derate is
applied. At engine speeds below 800 RPM the engine may be operated at altitudes up to 4,265 ft (1,300 m) before electronic derate is applied.
