Completing a robust single-cylinder engine
lineup, the Vanguard® 300 is now in
production.
MILWAUKEE, Aug. 28,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Briggs & Stratton, a leading
manufacturer of commercial power solutions, announces the
production launch of the Vanguard 300 single-cylinder horizontal
shaft engine. Offering 307cc and 10.0 Gross HP*, this innovative
engine is designed to outperform the competition in overall
performance, rugged power and lower maintenance leading to overall
lower total cost of ownership.
With the addition of the 307cc option to its single-cylinder
lineup, Vanguard can now offer original equipment manufacturers
(OEMs) the ability to power their full product line with one engine
brand. The Vanguard 300 is ideal for a diverse range of
applications, including high-pressure pumps and pressure washers,
generators and hydraulic power packs, wood splitters and chippers,
leaf vacuums and blowers, concrete trowels, saws, trenchers and
more.
"Our horizontal engine lineup and our customers just gained a
major asset with the addition of the Vanguard 300," says
Chris Davison, Senior Director of
Product and Brand Management – Utility at Briggs & Stratton.
"We've taken the cutting-edge technology our single-cylinder
engines are known for and optimized it for a power range our
commercial users have been asking for. The Vanguard 300 embodies
our commitment to pushing boundaries while delivering what our
customers rely on in a power source — robust performance, enhanced
efficiency and tested reliability."
Cutting-Edge Features
Designed with customer input in mind, the Vanguard 300 features
cutting-edge technology to deliver superior power and durability.
It offers a host of optimizations, including advanced
starting, extended maintenance intervals and improved cold-weather
starting.
Advanced Cold Start
The engine's mechanical compression release and choke are
optimized for improved cold-weather starting down to 0°F
(-17.78°C). Operators will benefit from reliable starting and
smooth running operation over a wide range of loads thanks to the
optimized carburetor.
TransportGuard® Featuring 3-in-1
Controls
The Vanguard 300 engine features exclusive TransportGuard
technology that was designed as a solution to address a common
industry pain point. Machine operators may neglect to shut off the
fuel during transport, ultimately leading to engine failure. To
combat this, Vanguard developed a user-friendly 3-in-1 control
lever that integrates a single-action fuel and ignition shut-off
switch to prevent the mixing of fuel and oil during transport.
TransportGuard helps reduce unscheduled oil changes and ensures
that equipment is ready when operators need it, minimizing downtime
and increasing ROI.
Cyclonic Air Filtration
Standard on all Vanguard single-cylinder engines, the Cyclonic
Air Filtration doubles equipment air-filter replacement intervals
to 600 hours, helping to cut down on maintenance and improve
equipment uptime. The innovative self-cleaning technology is
designed to catch more debris and keep particles moving. This
prevents clogs and helps to prolong the life of the engine while
maximizing performance.
The entire Vanguard single-cylinder engine lineup is backed by
an industry-leading three-year commercial limited warranty** plus
one warranty bonus year when an engine is registered. Learn more
about this new addition to the Vanguard commercial engine
lineup.
*All power levels are stated gross HP at 3,600 RPM per SAE
J1940.
