* Cummins Full Throttle Requirements:
• Engine achieves or exceeds rated rpm at full throttle under any steady operating condition
• Engines in variable displacement boats (such as pushboats, tugboats, net draggers, etc.) achieve no less than 100 rpm below
rated speed at full throttle during a dead push or bollard pull
• Engine achieves or exceeds rated rpm when accelerating from idle to full throttle
Rated Conditions: Ratings are based upon ISO 15550 reference conditions; air pressure of 100 kPa [29.612 in Hg], air temperature 25deg. C [77 deg. F] and 30% relative humidy. Power is in
accordance with IMCI procedure. Member NMMA. Unless otherwise specified, tolerance on all values is +/-5%.
Full Throttle curve represents power at the crankshaft for mature gross engine performance corrected in accordance with ISO 15550. Propeller Curve represents approximate power demand
from a typical propeller. Propeller Shaft Power is approximately 3% less than rated crankshaft power after typical reverse/reduction gear losses and may vary depending on the type of gear or
propulsion system used.

Fuel Consumption is based on fuel of 35 deg. API gravity at 16 deg C [60 deg. F] having LHV of 42,780 kj/kg [18390 Btu/lb] and weighing 838.9 g/liter [7.001 lb/U.S. gal].

Intermittent Duty (INT): Intended for intermittent use in variable load applications where full power is limited to two hours out of every eight hours of operation. Also, reduced power operations
must be at or below 200 rpm of the maximum rated rpm. This rating is an ISO 15550 fuel stop power rating and is for applications that operate less than 1,500 hours per year.

² No rear loads can be applied when the FPTO is fully loaded. Max PTO torque is contingent on torsional analysis results for the specific drive
system. Consult Installation Direction Booklet for Limitations.
³ Heat rejection to coolant values are based on 50% water/50% ethylene glycol mix and do NOT include fouling factors. If sourcing your own cooler,
a service fouling factor should be applied according to the cooler manufacturer's recommendation.
4 Consult option notes for flow specifications of optional Cummins seawater pumps, if applicable.
5 May not be at rated load and speed. Maximum heat rejection may occur at other than rated conditions.
