SAFETY STARTING

Do not start the engine by shorting across starter

terminals or bypassing the safety start switch.
Unauthorized modifications to the engine may impair
the function and / or safety and affect engine life.

SAFETY WORKING

Do not work on the machine while under the influence

of alcohol, medication, or other substances or while
fatigued.
Wear close fitting clothing and safety equipment
appropriate to the job.
Use tools appropriate to the work. Makeshift tools,
parts, and procedures are not recommended.
When servicing is performed together by two or more
persons, take care to perform all work safely.
Do not touch the rotating or hot parts while the engine
is running.
Never remove the radiator cap while the engine is
running, or immediately after stopping. Otherwise, hot
water will spout out from radiator. Only remove
radiator cap when cool enough to touch with bare
hands. Slowly loosen the cap to first stop to relieve
pressure before removing completely.
Escaping fluid (fuel or hydraulic oil) under pressure
can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Relieve
pressure before disconnecting hydraulic or fuel lines.
Tighten all connections before applying pressure.
Wear a suitable hearing protective device such as
earmuffs or earplugs to protect against objectionable
or uncomfortable loud noises.

AVOID FIRES

Fuel is extremely flammable and explosive under

certain conditions. Do not smoke or allow flames or
sparks in your working area.
To avoid sparks from an accidental short circuit,
always disconnect the battery negative cable first and
connect it last.
Battery gas can explode. Keep sparks and open
flame away from the top of battery, especially when
charging the battery.
Make sure that no fuel has been spilled on the engine.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

03-M Series, WSM

VENTILATE WORK AREA

If the engine must be running to do some work, make

sure the area is well ventilated. Never run the engine
in a closed area. The exhaust gas contains poisonous
carbon monoxide.

DISPOSE OF FLUIDS PROPERLY

Do not pour fluids into the ground, down a drain, or

into a stream, pond, or lake. Observe relevant
environmental protection regulations when disposing
of oil, fuel, coolant, electrolyte and other harmful
waste.

PREVENT ACID BURNS

Sulfuric acid in battery electrolyte is poisonous. It is

strong enough to burn skin, clothing and cause
blindness if splashed into eyes. Keep electrolyte
away from eyes, hands and clothing. If you spill
electrolyte on yourself, flush with water, and get
medical attention immediately.

PREPARE FOR EMERGENCIES

Keep a first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy at all

times.
Keep emergency numbers for doctors, ambulance
service, hospital and fire department near your
telephone.

DIESEL ENGINE

1. ENGINE BODY
[1] HOLLOW CORE
The cylinder block has a hollow core (1) already cast
inside the cylinder-to-cylinder water jacket.
In this core, there is a pair of vertical cooling
passages (right and left) as well as multiple horizontal
cooling channels that interconnect these cooling
passages. This design allows smoother cooling water
flow through the cylinder block, which cools down a wider
range between the cylinders more effectively.
(1) Hollow Core
W1013048

[2] PISTON
Pistons skirt is coated with molybdenum
disulfied+, which reduces the piston slap noise and
thus the entire operating noise.
+Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)
The molybdenum disulfide (1) serves as a solid
lubricant, like a Graphite or Teflon. This material helps
resist metal wears even with little lube oil.
(1) Molybdenum Disulfide
W1013114

[3] BUILT-IN DYNAMIC BALANCER (BALANCER MODEL ONLY)

Engine are sure to vibrate by pistons reciprocation.
Theoretically, three-cylinder engines are much less
prone to cause vibration than four-cylinder ones (second
inertia, etc.). However, any engine has many moving
parts in addition to its pistons and cannot be completely
free from vibration.
The four cylinders engine V2203 and V2403 can be
fitted with balance weight on crankcase to absorb the
second inertia mentioned above and reduce vibration.
This engine is internally provide with two balancers
(1), one at the suction side and the other at the exhaust
side.

[4] HALF-FLOATING HEAD COVER

The rubber packing (2) is fitted in to maintain the
cylinder head cover (1) 0.5 mm (0.02 in.) or so off the
cylinder head (1). This arrangement helps reduce noise
coming from the cylinder head.

2. COOLING SYSTEM
[1] BOTTOM BYPASS SYSTEM
Bottom bypass system is introduced in 03-M Series
for improving the cooling performance of the radiator.
While the temperature of coolant in the engine is low,
the thermostat is held closed and the coolant is allowed
to flow through the bypass pipe and to circulate in the
engine.
When the temperature exceeds the thermostat valve
opening level, the thermostat fully opens itself to prevent
the hot coolant from flowing through the bypass into the
engine.
In this way, the radiator can increase its cooling
performance.

3. FUEL SYSTEM
[1] GOVERNOR
The governor serves to keep engine speed constant
by automatically adjusting the amount of fuel supplied to
the engine according to changes in the load. This engine
employs an all-speed governor which controls the
centrifugal force of the steel ball (1) weight, produced by
rotation of the fuel camshaft (5), and the tension of the
governor spring 1 (7) and 2 (8) are balanced.

Q At Start
Flowing of the battery current into the engine stop
solenoid (16), the plunger (17) is actuated to arrow
direction.
Since the steel ball (1) have no centrifugal force, the
control rack (14) is pushed to the right by the start spring
(13). Accordingly, the control rack (14) moves to the
maximum injection position to assure easy starting.

Q At Idling
When the speed control lever is set at the idling
position after the engine starts, the governor spring 1 (7)
does not work at all and the governor spring 2 (8) does
only act slightly. The governor sleeve (2) is pushed
leftward by a centrifugal force of steel ball (1).
Therefore, the fork lever 1 (10) and control rack (14)
are moved to the left by the governor sleeve (2) and then
the start spring (13) is compressed by the control rack
(14). As a result, the control rack (14) is kept at a position
where a centrifugal force of steel ball (1) and forces of
start spring (13), governor spring 2 (8) are balanced,
providing stable idling.

Q At High Speed Running with Overload

When an overload is applied to the engine running at
a high speed, the centrifugal force of steel ball (1)
becomes small as the engine speed is dropped, and fork
lever 2 (9) is pulled to the right by the governor springs 1
(7) and 2 (8), increasing fuel injection. Though, fork lever
2 (9) becomes ineffective in increasing fuel injection
when it is stopped by the adjusting screw (21).
After that, when the force of torque spring (20)
becomes greater than the centrifugal force of the steel
ball (1), fork lever 1 (10) moves rightward to increase fuel
injection, causing the engine to run continuously at a high
torque.

[2] GENERAL PRECAUTION

During disassembly, carefully arrange removed parts in a clean
area to prevent confusion later. Screws, bolts and nuts should be
replaced in their original position to prevent reassembly errors.
When special tools are required, use KUBOTA genuine special
tools. Special tools which are not frequently used should be
made according to the drawings provided.
Before disassembling or servicing live wires, make sure to
always disconnect the grounding cable from the battery first.
Remove oil and dirt from parts before measuring.
Use only KUBOTA genuine parts for parts replacement to
maintain engine performance and to ensure safety.
Gaskets and O-rings must be replaced during reassembly.
Apply grease to new O-rings or oil seals before assembling.
When reassembling external or internal snap rings, position them
so that the sharp edge faces against the direction from which
force is applied.

Q NOTE
Lubricating Oil
With the emission control now in effect, the CF-4 and CG-4 lubricating oils have been developed for use of a lowsulfur fuel on-road vehicle engines. When an off-road vehicle engine runs on a high-sulfur fuel, it is advisable to
employ the CF, CD or CE lubricating oil with a high total base number. If the CF-4 or CG-4 lubricating oil is used with
a high-sulfur fuel, change the lubricating oil at shorter intervals.

[7] CHECK AND MAINTENANCE

(1) Daily Check Points
Checking Engine Oil Level
1. Level the engine.
2. To check the oil level, draw out the dipstick (1), wipe it clean,
reinsert it, and draw it out again.
Check to see that the oil level lies between the two notches.
3. If the level is too low, add new oil to the specified level.
Q IMPORTANT
When using an oil of different maker or viscosity from the
previous, drain old oil. Never mix two different types of oil.
Q NOTE
Be sure to inspect the engine, locating it on a horizontal
place. If placed on gradients, accurately, oil quantity may
not be measured.
Be sure to keep the oil level between upper and lower limits
of the dipstick. Too much oil may cause a drop in output or
excessive blow-by gas. On the closed breather type engine
in which mist is sucked through port, too much oil may
caused oil hammer. While too little oil, may seize the
engines rotating and sliding parts.

Checking and Replenish Coolant

1. Without recovery tank :
Remove the radiator cap (1) and check to see that the coolant
level is just below the port.
With recovery tank (2) :
Check to see that the coolant level lies between FULL (A) and
LOW (B).
2. If coolant level is too low, check the reason for decreasing
coolant.
(Case 1)
If coolant is decreasing by evaporation, replenish only fresh, soft
water.
(Case 2)
If coolant is decreasing by leak, replenish coolant of the same
manufacture and type in the specified mixture ratio (fresh, soft
water and L.L.C.). If the coolant brand cannot be identified, drain
out all of the remaining coolant and refill with a totally new brand
of coolant mix.

CAUTION
Do not remove the radiator cap until coolant temperature is
below its boiling point. Then loosen the cap slightly to
relieve any excess pressure before removing the cap
completely.
IMPORTANT
During filling the coolant, air must be vented from the engine
coolant passages. The air vents by jiggling the radiator
upper and lower hoses.
Be sure to close the radiator cap securely. If the cap is loose
or improperly closed, coolant may leak out and the engine
could overheat.
Do not use an antifreeze and scale inhibitor at the same time.
Never mix the different type or brand of L.L.C..

Anti-Freeze
There are two types of anti-freeze available: use the permanent
type (PT) for this engine.
Before adding anti-freeze for the first time, clean the radiator
interior by pouring fresh, soft water and draining it a few times.
The procedure for mixing water and anti-freeze differs according
to the make of the anti-freeze and the ambient temperature.
Basically, it should be referred to SAE J1034 standard, more
specifically also to SAE J814c.
Mix the anti-freeze with fresh, soft water, and then fill into the
radiator.
Q IMPORTANT
When the anti-freeze is mixed with fresh, soft water, the antifreeze mixing ratio must be less than 50 %.

Q NOTE
The above data represents industrial standards that
necessitate a minimum glycol content in the concentrated
anti-freeze.
When the coolant level drops due to evaporation, add fresh,
soft water only to keep the anti-freeze mixing ratio less than
50 %. In case of leakage, add anti-freeze and fresh, soft
water in the specified mixing ratio.
Anti-freeze absorbs moisture. Keep unused anti-freeze in a
tightly sealed container.
Do not use radiator cleaning agents when anti-freeze has
been added to the coolant.
(Anti-freeze contains an anti-corrosive agent, which will
react with the radiator cleaning agent forming sludge which
will affect the engine parts.)

Recharging
CAUTION
When the battery is being activated, hydrogen and oxygen
gases in the battery are extremely explosive. Keep open
sparks and flames away from the battery at all times,
especially when charging the battery.
When charging battery, remove battery vent plugs.
When disconnecting the cable from the battery, start with
the negative terminal first. When connecting the cable to the
battery, start with the positive terminal first.
Never check battery charge by placing a metal object across
the posts.
Use a voltmeter or hydrometer.
1) Slow Charging
1. Add distilled water if the electrolyte level is low. When charging,
the amount of electrolyte should be slightly lower than the
specified level to prevent overflow.
2. Connect the battery to the charging unit, following the
manufactures instructions.
3. As the electrolyte generates gas while charging, remove all port
caps.
4. The electrolyte temperature must not exceed 40 C (104 F)
during charging.
If it exceed 40 C (104 F), decrease the charging amperage or
stop charging for a while.
5. When charging several batteries in series, charging at the rate of
the smallest battery in the line.
2) Quick Charging
1. Determine the proper charging current and charging time with the
tester attached to the quick charger.
2. Determine the proper charging current as 1/1 of the battery
capacity. If the battery capacity exceeds 50 Ah, consider 50 A as
the maximum.
Q Precaution for Operating a Quick Charger
Operating with a quick charger differs according to the type.
Consult the instruction manual and use accordingly.

Battery Specific Gravity

1. Check the specific gravity of the electrolyte in each cell with a
hydrometer.
2. When the electrolyte temperature differs from that at which the
hydrometer was calibrated, correct the specific gravity reading
following the formula mentioned in (Reference).
3. If the specific gravity is less than 1.215 (after it is corrected for
temperature), charge or replace the battery.
4. If the specific gravity differs between any two cells by more than
0.05, replace the battery.
Q NOTE
Hold the hydrometer tube vertical without removing it from
the electrolyte.
Do not suck too much electrolyte into the tube.
Allow the float to move freely and hold the hydrometer at eye
level.
The hydrometer reading must be taken at the highest
electrolyte level.
(Reference)
Specific gravity slightly varies with temperature. To be exact, the
specific gravity decreases by 0.0007 with an increase of 1 C
(0.0004 with an increase of 1 F) in temperature, and increases
by 0.0007 with a decreases of 1 C (0.0004 with a decrease of 1
F).
Therefore, using 20 C (68 F) as a reference, the specific gravity
reading must be corrected by the following formula :
- Specific gravity at 20 C = Measured value + 0.0007
(electrolyte temperature : 20 C)
- Specific gravity at 68 F = Measured value + 0.0004
(electrolyte temperature : 68 F)

clockwise and counterclockwise to see if the piston is at the
compression top dead center or the overlap position. Now
referring to the table below, readjust the valve clearance (1).
(The piston is at the top dead center when both the IN. and
EX. valves do not move; it is at the overlap position when
both the valves move.)
Finally turn the flywheel 6.28 rad (360) and align the TC
marking and the projection (2) perfectly. Adjust all the other
valve clearance as required.
After turning the flywheel counterclockwise twice or three
times, recheck the valve clearance (1).
After adjusting the valve clearance (1), firmly tighten the lock

[1] CHECKING AND ADJUSTING
Compression Pressure
1. Run the engine until it is warmed up.
2. Stop the engine and disconnect the 2P connector from the stop
solenoid in order not to inject fuel.
3. Remove the air cleaner, the muffler and all injection nozzles.
4. Set a compression tester with the adaptor to the nozzle hole.
5. While cranking the engine with the starter, measure the
compression pressure.
6. Repeat steps 4 through 6 for each cylinder.
7. If the measurement is below the allowable limit, apply a small
amount of oil to the cylinder wall through the nozzle hole and
measure the compression pressure again.
8. If the compression pressure is still less than the allowable limit,
check the top clearance, valve and cylinder head.
9. If the compression pressure increases after applying oil, check
the cylinder wall and piston rings.
Q NOTE
Check the compression pressure with the specified valve
clearance.
Always use a fully charged battery for performing this test.
Variances in cylinder compression values should be under
10 %.

Valve Clearance
Q IMPORTANT
Valve clearance must be checked and adjusted when engine
is cold.
1. Remove the head cover.
2. Align the 1TC mark line (3) on the flywheel and projection (2)
on the housing so that the No.1 piston comes to the compression
or overlap top dead center.
3. Check the following valve clearance (1) marked with , using a
feeler gauge.
4. If the clearance is not within the factory specifications, adjust with
the adjusting screw.
Valve clearance

0.18 to 0.22 mm
0.0071 to 0.0087 in.

Factory spec.

Q NOTE
The TC marking line on the flywheel is just for No. 1
cylinder. There is no TC marking for the other cylinders.
No. 1 piston comes to the top dead center position when the
TC marking is aligned with the projection (2) in the window
on flywheel-housing. Turn the flywheel 0.26 rad (15)
clockwise and counterclockwise to see if the piston is at the
compression top dead center or the overlap position. Now
referring to the table below, readjust the valve clearance (1).
(The piston is at the top dead center when both the IN. and
EX. valves do not move; it is at the overlap position when
both the valves move.)
Finally turn the flywheel 6.28 rad (360) and align the TC
marking and the projection (2) perfectly. Adjust all the other
valve clearance as required.
After turning the flywheel counterclockwise twice or three
times, recheck the valve clearance (1).
After adjusting the valve clearance (1), firmly tighten the lock
nut of the adjusting screw.
