Compact Excavators: Redesigned Bobcat Engine
The Bobcat® engine in R2-Series compact excavators offers an efficient design that delivers the performance you need and also reduces and simplifies routine maintenance. An innovative new fuel system makes low fuel levels more forgiving for busy excavator operators. Cold-weather operation is improved and a variety of features make maintaining and servicing the excavator engine more convenient.
Features & Benefits
Lift Pump & Self-Priming System
Quieter Operation
Increased Engine Oil Service Interval
Fuel Filter Pressure Sensor
With the fuel filter pressure sensor, you’ll be alerted if the fuel filter is plugged or reaching the end of its service life, or if there is an issue with the low-pressure fuel system. An indicator on the display inside the cab alerts the operator. You and your staff can be more aware of service needs to protect equipment uptime.
Fuel Recirculation Valve
To keep your excavator running in frigid conditions, a fuel recirculation valve on R2-Series excavators returns warm fuel to the lift pump to reduce fuel gelling issues. It works better than an electric heater, greatly improving cold-weather performance.
