Emissions-reducing technology.
Because the Fource 4-cycle engine design burns
primarily gasoline, and not a gasoline/oil mixture, hydrocarbon (HC)
and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions are reduced by more than 70 percent
when compared with a typical 2-cycle engine. This meets all California
Air Resources Board (CARB) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
emissions requirements for hand-held equipment. It also meets the more
stringent 2005 EPA emissions stringent of 37 gms/bhp-hr.
- Broader power range.
Four-cycle
engines provide more horsepower at lower engine speeds compared to
2-cycle engines. This allows for a more consistent torque curve across
a wide range of speeds. As a result, the trimmer maintains its cutting
ability even when it meets resistance from thick weeds and grass. The
additional power at lower speeds also translates to reduced noise and
vibration during operation.
- Easier starting.
A 4-cycle
engine is started with a simple choke, purge and pull procedure. The
combination of Fource engines rotary venturi carburetor and 4-cycle
enhanced breathing characteristics allows the engine to start at idle
in most conditions, so there's no need to keep the throttle fully
depressed. Two-cycle engines require moving the choke to a different
locations and pulling the starter rope a certain number of times.
Because a 2-cycle engine requires a wide open throttle to start, the
operator must keep the throttle fully depressed at all times.
- No mixing gas and oil.
In order
for 2-cycle engines to operate properly, oil is mixed with the
gasoline to lubricate the crankshaft, connecting rod, cylinder walls
and other necessary parts. Four-cycle engines do not use an oil-fuel
mixture to lubricate the moving parts, which results in a cleaner
burning engine.
