Vanguard offers the 300 single-cylinder engine for construction equipment and machines. Featuring 307cc and 10.0 gross hp*, this engine delivers performance and rugged power.
With the addition of the 307cc option to its single-cylinder lineup, Vanguard can now offer original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) the ability to power their full product line with one engine brand. The Vanguard 300 is for a diverse range of applications, including high-pressure pumps and pressure washers, generators and hydraulic power packs, wood splitters and chippers, leaf vacuums and blowers, concrete trowels, saws, trenchers and more.
"Our horizontal engine lineup and our customers just gained a major asset with the addition of the Vanguard 300," says Chris Davison, senior director of product and brand management – utility at Briggs and Stratton. "We've taken the cutting-edge technology our single-cylinder engines are known for and optimized it for a power range our commercial users have been asking for. The Vanguard 300 embodies our commitment to pushing boundaries while delivering what our customers rely on in a power source — robust performance, enhanced efficiency and tested reliability."

Features
The Vanguard 300 features extended maintenance intervals and cold-weather starting. The engine’s mechanical compression release and choke are optimized for cold-weather starting down to 0°F (-17.78°C). Operators can leverage reliable starting over a range of loads thanks to the optimized carburetor.
The Vanguard 300 engine is equipped with TransportGuard technology. Machine operators may neglect to shut off the fuel during transport, leading to engine failure. To address this, Vanguard developed a 3-in-1 control lever that integrates a single-action fuel and ignition shut-off switch to prevent the mixing of fuel and oil during transport. TransportGuard helps reduce unscheduled oil changes and keeps equipment ready.
Cyclonic Air Filtration
Standard on all Vanguard single-cylinder engines, the Cyclonic Air Filtration doubles equipment air-filter replacement intervals to 600 hours, helping to cut down maintenance and support equipment uptime. The self-cleaning technology is designed to catch debris and keep particles moving. This prevents clogs and helps prolong the life of the engine while facilitating performance.
*All power levels are stated gross hp at 3,600 rpm per SAE J1940.
