KAWASAKI INTRODUCES THREE POWERFUL NEW BACKPACK BLOWERS

GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan—Three new Kawasaki backpack blowers give landscape and turf care professionals exactly what they’re asking for – more power plus the ultimate in comfort and convenience.

The all-new KRB650B features a powerful 45.4cc engine to clean up big jobs with a maximum air volume of 755 cfm and a maximum air velocity of 164 mph.

For pros looking for even higher volume and velocity, the new KRB750A and KRB750B deliver incredible power. The powerful 64.7cc engine creates the ultimate in power, with a maximum air volume of 800 cfm and a maximum air velocity of 200 mph.

Throttle control is more precise and easy on these models, with a choice of throttle locations. The KRB650B and KRB750B use a newly designed joy stick featuring a tube-mount handle, while the KRB750A has a side-mount or “hip” throttle.

Other features found on the KRB750A, KRB750B, and KRB 650A include a high-performance paper air filter and low noise level. Clean exhaust emission meets California Tier III and EPA Phase 2 standards.

All Kawasaki backpack blowers have the “Critical Component” for top performance: a Kawasaki engine. These engines deliver unmatched durability, reliability, and overall quality in Kawasaki handheld power products, as well as in commercial mowers and other equipment made by leading OEMs.

All Kawasaki backpack blowers have a long list of industry-leading comfort and convenience features. A high-density padded backrest and wide, padded shoulder harness maximizes operator comfort. A four-point rubber engine mount system isolates vibration to guarantee smooth operation. To minimize noise levels, both the engine shroud and fan casing are plastic, and the muffler features a glass wool lining. A shock-resistant plastic base provides added durability. The fuel tank is translucent for a quick view of fuel level.
