Kawasaki FX691V-CR00-S 22HP V-Twin Vertical Shaft Engine Electric Start

The forced-air-cooled V-twin Kawasaki FX691V engine features an internally vented carburetor with fuel shut-off solenoid, heavy-duty canister air filter, a metal engine cover with integrated clean-out ports, and more, for the kind of performance you can count on day in and day out. Take on the toughest jobs with the kind of confidence only meticulously crafted Kawasaki quality can give you.

Features:

Engine performance, by the numbers: 

• From power and torque numbers to engine features and more, the following is here to help communicate engine performance details and capabilities. Be sure to consider these specs to help ensure the engine you’re choosing is a match to your mowing needs.

Overhead v-valve: 

• A high-performance valve configuration that optimizes the intake and exhaust cycle. This design allows the 22HP engine to run cooler and more efficiently, delivering the high torque needed for thick turf while extending overall engine life.

90° V-twin: 

• The industry standard for mechanical balance. By setting the cylinders at a 90-degree angle, the engine naturally cancels out primary vibrations, resulting in a smoother operation that protects the mower's chassis and reduces operator fatigue.

Pressurized lubrication system: 

• Equipped with a high-volume oil pump and a premium spin-on filter, this automotive-grade system ensures that critical internal components receive a constant flow of pressurized oil even when navigating steep embankments.

Electronic spark ignition: 

• A digital, maintenance-free ignition system that provides high-energy spark timing. This ensures quick, reliable starts and consistent power delivery across the entire RPM range, regardless of weather conditions.

Automatic compression release: 

• A mechanical system that momentarily vents cylinder pressure during the start cycle. This allows the 726cc engine to turn over with minimal resistance, significantly reducing the electrical strain on your battery and starter motor.

• Rotating metal grass chopper screen: A rugged, debris-shredding intake guard. This rotating metal screen pulverizes grass clippings and leaves before they can reach the cooling fins, preventing "hot spots" and keeping the engine at peak operating temperature

• Multi-Stage canister air filter: A heavy-duty filtration system featuring a cyclonic pre-cleaner. It egests 90% of dust and debris before it hits the primary filter, providing maximum protection for the combustion chamber and doubling service intervals in dusty conditions.

• Cast-iron cylinder liners: Durable, high-density iron sleeves that provide a rugged, wear-resistant surface for the pistons. This premium feature ensures the engine maintains perfect compression and structural integrity through years of commercial-grade use.

• Metal engine cover with integrated clean out ports: An impact-resistant professional shroud. The integrated clean-out ports allow operators to quickly blow out trapped debris from the cooling system without the need for engine disassembly.

• Heavy duty shift-type starter: An automotive-grade "solenoid-shift" starter designed for maximum reliability. This system ensures positive gear engagement every time, providing the high-torque power needed for the constant start-stop cycles of a professional crew.
