The VP160 Electric Power Head is a battery-powered replacement power unit designed for equipment that traditionally uses compact horizontal-shaft gasoline engines. It combines a 19.05 mm (3/4 in) output shaft, compact base footprint, instant electric torque and a dual-battery compartment to simplify conversion from gasoline power. The unit is designed to match applications in the GX120, GX160 and GX200 equipment class when the shaft length, keyway and mounting pattern are compatible. The supplied product information emphasizes the same-shaft, same-mounting retrofit concept, immediate torque delivery, consistent power, lower operating cost and push-button convenience. The power head and supplied battery are ETL certified, and the product is specified as California compliant.

Website Product Advantages
- Certified product platform: The power head and battery are ETL certified, and the product is specified as California compliant.
- Broad equipment conversion potential: The 19.05 mm (3/4 in) shaft and compact base footprint are intended for a wide range of GX120/GX160/GX200-class machines when the mechanical interface matches.
- Lower noise and zero tailpipe emissions: Ideal for jobs where exhaust, fuel handling and engine noise are undesirable, including sensitive residential and enclosed or semi-enclosed work areas where equipment use is permitted.
- Dual-battery flexibility: Two battery positions allow the operator to install up to two 5Ah packs. The standard $899.99 package includes one 5Ah battery and charger.
- Instant torque and simple starting: Electric drive provides immediate torque and push-button starting, eliminating pull-cord starting, choke adjustments and warm-up routines.
- Gas-engine retrofit without fuel-system maintenance: The VP160 is designed to replace compatible compact gasoline-engine applications while removing carburetor, fuel-tank and engine-oil service from the power unit.

Installation, Compatibility and Safety Notes
- Confirm the driven equipment shaft diameter, shaft length, keyway, rotation direction, mounting-hole pattern, coupling type and required power before ordering.
- Disconnect all battery power before installation or service. Install only on a stable, correctly aligned equipment frame using hardware rated for the application.
- Keep ventilation openings clear and route all wiring away from rotating shafts, belts, pulleys, hot surfaces and pinch points.
- Use only approved battery packs and the supplied or manufacturer-approved charger. Inspect the battery, connectors and wiring before each use.
- After installation, verify shaft alignment, fastener torque, controller operation and safe load engagement before placing the equipment into service.
