Rating Conditions: Ratings are based upon ISO 8665 and SAE J1228 reference conditions; air pressure of 100 kPa [29.612 in Hg], air temperature 25°C [77°F], and 30% relative
humidity. Power is rated in accordance with IMCI procedures. Member NMMA.

Rated Curves (upper) represent rated power at the crankshaft for mature gross engine performance capabilities obtained and corrected in accordance with ISO 3046. Propeller
Curve (lower) is based on a typical fixed propeller demand curve using a 2.7 exponent. 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° API gravity at 16°C [60°F] having LHV of 42,780 kj/kg [18390 Btu/lb] and weighing 838.9 g/liter [7.001 lb/U.S. gal].

High Output Rating: This Rating is for use in variable load applications where full power is limited to one (1) hour out of every eight (8) hours of operation. Also, reduced power
operations must be at or below 200 RPM of the maximum rated RPM. This rating is for pleasure/non-revenue generating applications that operate 300 hours per year or less.
