Continuous duty Deduct 3% for each 1000 (305m) above 1500 (457m.)
Intermittent duty Deduct 3% for each 1000 (305m) above 500 (152m.)

Temperature
Continuous duty Deduct 1% for every 10F. (6C.) above 100F (38C.)
Intermittent duty Deduct 1% per 10F. (5.5C.) above 85F. (29C.)

Intermittent Rating (I)

The highest load and speed that can be applied under
specific conditions of varying load and/or speed.

Continuous Rating (C)

The load and speed that can be applied without interruption except for normal maintenance.
All ratings corrected to 500 (152m) altitude, 29.38 (746
mm) Hg. and temperature of 85F. (29C.).
Natural gas ratings are based on use of 900 BTU (33.5
J/cm) LHV gas. Propane ratings are based on use of
2335 BTU of HD-5 propane.

AutoStart NS

Our new Autostart-NS for C Series and K Series engines is a

simple, programmable system that allows for different cycles
each day of the week as well as continuous monitoring of critical engine operating parameters and automatic shutdown.This
system features a simple to install 8 wire system, as well as a
built in tachometer, hour meter and battery voltage meter.The
automation can be set to real time, interval timing or manual
mode, giving you everything you need to easliy automate and
monitor your oil field operations.

Clutch Actuator

Arrow has introduced its new patented Clutch Actuator

(CO-00) for C-Series and A-Series Engines.This new
actuator features a simple 2 wire and 12V connection
for ease of installation. All adjustments are made outside the unit on the linkage that connects the actuator
to the clutch lever.This in conjunction with the New
Style AutoStart (Autostart-NS) is the simplest and easiest to use and install electronic automation package
available anywhere.

Currently in stock and available for all multi

cylinder engine applications. Extra room inside
for panels or any other required equipment.
Ideal for PC pump applications and generators.
Built in tank can be used for hydraulic fluid,
engine make-up oil or any other type of
required fluids. Also available without the tank.
