When your engine is exposed to high levels of grass and debris, you need to know it can handle whatever your environment throws at you. Our FT Series offers the ultimate in debris management for professional lawn care.
Vortical air filtration is Kawasaki’s answer to superior debris management. As air enters under the air filter housing, the unique design creates a powerful vortex motion forcing heavier particles outward through the debris ejector valve. Remaining fine particles are intercepted by the filter.
Larger grass clippings are ejected away from the engine through a valve during the vortical air filtration process, preventing them from reaching the air filter. This results in cleaner intake air, fewer filter replacements, and, ultimately, improved engine performance.
Two large, easy-to-access integrated clean-out ports allow for tool-free inspection, and superior visibility. Regular maintenance is made simple with quick and straightforward checks and cleaning.
Pre-cleaning the air before it reaches the filter, this system reduces the number of contaminants entering the engine, leading to better efficiency, fewer filter changes, and longer engine life.
Dual element air filtration keeps engine performance at the highest levels. Foam and paper elements trap airborne particles and contaminants before they reach the combustion chamber, improving engine efficiency and power.
Engine cooling is protected by a rotating metal screen, which chops larger cuttings into fine debris, preventing grass build-up on the cooling fins.
Your engine components last longer thanks to high-pressure lubrication and cooling to the crankshaft and connecting rod bearing surfaces, which reduces friction.
Automatic compression release relieves initial cylinder pressure to make starts easy and reliable, regardless of temperature.
Even in cold, unforgiving conditions, you can rely on easier starts and dependable performance with our electronic spark ignition system.
Cast iron is a robust material that can withstand the high temperatures, high pressure and abrasion that result from high-speed sliding of piston rings inside an engine cylinder.
The carburetor is vented internally to keep your engine efficient with reduced contaminants, while the fuel shut-off solenoid ensures smoother operation.
A 90-degree V-Twin configuration achieves perfect primary balance, reducing the vibration from piston movement and improving the power and durability of the engine.
