5 HP OHV engine designed for high uptime in compact utility platforms

The Vanguard 160 horizontal shaft engine delivers 3.7 gross kW (5 HP) of professional-grade performance for applications requiring compact, drop-fit power solutions. Purpose-built for equipment operators and integrators seeking reduced maintenance and enhanced reliability, it offers advanced protection features and simplified starting—even in extreme cold.

• Lower noise. Less vibration. Increased user comfort: Engineered to reduce vibration and noise for improved operator experience and increased productivity.
• Low TCO, reduced downtime: TransportGuard™, extended oil and air filter intervals minimize service disruptions and cut ownership costs.
• Ideal for simple replacement: Engine dimensions and mounting points allow for quick replacement of existing engines with no reengineering required.

• Simplified 3-Step Starting
  Optimized recoil system requires fewer pulls and lower force, tested down to -29°C for consistent performance in all climates.
• Eliminate Fuel/Oil Dilution
  Exclusive TransportGuard™ 3-in-1 control simultaneously shuts off ignition and fuel—preventing fuel-oil contamination during transport and reducing downtime.
• Optimized Fuel Management
  Refined fuel system enhances resistance to stale fuel, improving cold-start reliability and overall longevity.
• Advanced Engine Protection
  Low oil sensor guards against damage by automatically detecting critical oil levels, preserving engine health.
• Outperforms in All Terrains
  Optional 45° inclination kit ensures uninterrupted engine performance on steep inclines—ideal for UGVs and rugged environments.
• More Efficient Power Management
  Governed idle allows for more consistent power delivery at low speeds, precise RPM settings, and smoother load handling.
• Fewer Air Filter Changes
  Cyclonic air filtration system enables 600-hour replacement intervals—twice the industry standard—boosting uptime.
• Longer Oil Maintenance Intervals
  Double the oil service interval of competing engines, with up to 50% less oil waste for reduced maintenance costs and environmental impact.
• Zero Overhang Muffler (Optional)
  Optional flush-mount muffler enables a clean engine profile for easier integration and retrofitting.
• Reduced Noise and Vibration
  Lower vibration and quieter operation significantly enhance operator comfort and system stability.
