3-Cylinder Liquid-Cooled Engines

MP6380 2/10/03 4:24 PM Page 3

Vanguard 3/LC is the solution to your biggest challenges.

One of the biggest and costliest challenges

you may face is reconfiguring your domestic
models to diesel. Not anymore. Briggs &
Stratton Daihatsu offers a line of 3-cylinder,
liquid-cooled gas, diesel and gaseous fuel
engines that are completely interchangeable.
Not only do the engines have the same
envelope, but the PTO and mounting
dimensions are identical. So are the air cleaner
and muffler systems. To further enhance
versatility, gas and diesel models are available with an optional electronic
governor that allows for complete engine management and control by
wire rather than cable.

Another advantage is that Vanguard 3/LC engines are lighter weight and
more compact. In fact, some models are up to eight pounds lighter than
the competition.

Whats more, Vanguard 3/LC engines reliably deliver robust power at

significantly lower vibration and noise levels.

Challenged by where to turn for a high-performance engine solution?

Look no further than the versatile Vanguard 3/LC.

Feature Benefit Vanguard Advantage
