Engine

Note (1)
Advertised power is tested at 1,700 rpm.
Emissions
The reference to Tier 4 Final/Stage IV includes U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final, EU Stage V, Japan 2014 (Tier 4 Final), as well as Korea Tier 4 Final emission standards.
Note (3)
The net power advertised is the power available at the flywheel when the engine is equipped with alternator, air cleaner, muffler, and fan at minimum speed.
Note (2)
Advertised power is tested per the specified standard in effect at the time of manufacture.

Sound Levels

Note (1)
The declared dynamic operator sound pressure level is 69±2 dB(A) when "ISO 6396:2008" is used to measure the value for an enclosed cab. The measurement was conducted at 70% of the maximum cooling fans speed. The sound level may vary at different cooling fan speeds. The measurement was conducted with the cab doors and the cab windows closed. The cab was properly installed and maintained.
Note (2)
Hearing protection may be needed when operating with an open operator station and cab (when not properly maintained or doors/windows open) for extended periods or in noisy environments.

Engine

Note (4)
Net power when the fan is at maximum speed is 249 kW (334 hp) per the SAE reference conditions.

Note (6)
Diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) used in Cat SCR systems must meet the requirements outlined in ISO 22241-1. ISO 22241-1 requirements are met by many brands of DEF, including those that carry the AdBlue or API certifications.

Air Conditioning System

Air Conditioning
If equipped with R134a (Global Warming Potential = 1430), the system contains 1.1 kg (2.4 lb) of refrigerant which has a CO 2 equivalent of 1.716 metric tonnes (1.891 tons).

Note
An optimum system match gives you a major productivity advantage. The 725 is an excellent match for the Cat 349/352 and 336 Hydraulic Excavators and Cat 972, 966, 962, and 950 Wheel Loaders. Having matched loading and hauling tools results in increased production and lower system costs per unit of volume moved.
