  EMISSION CONTROL INFORMATION Toprotect the environment in which we all live, Kawasaki has incorporated exhaust emission control systems (EM) in compliance with applicable regulations of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board. 1. Exhaust Emission Control System The exhaust emission control system applied to this engine consists of a carburetor and an ignition system having optimum ignition timing characteristics. The carburetor has been calibrated to provide lean air/fuel mixture characteristics and optimum fuel economy with a suitable air cleaner and exhaust system. TAMPERING WITH EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM PROHIBITED Federal law and California State law prohibits the following acts or the causing thereof: (1) the removal or rendering inoperative by any person other than for purposes of maintenance, repair, or replacement, of any device or element of design incorporated into any new engine for the purpose of emission control prior to its sale or delivery to the ultimate purchaser or while it is in use, or (2) the use of the engine after such device or element of design has been removed or rendered inoperative by any person. Among those acts presumed to constitute tampering are the acts listed below: Do not tamper with the original emission related part: • Carburetor and internal parts • Spark plugs • Magnet or electronic ignition system • Fuel filter • Air cleaner elements

  Foreword This manual isdesigned primarily for use by trained mechanics in a properly equipped shop. However, it contains enough detail and information to make it useful to the owner who desires to perform his own basic maintenance anbd repair work. A basic knowledge of mechanics, the proper use of tools, and workshop procedures must be understood in order to carry out maintenance and repair satisfactorily. Whenever the owner has insufficient experience or has doubts as to his ability to do the work, all adjustments, maintenance, and repair should be carried out only by qualified mechanics. This manual covers models: KBL23A, KBH26A, KBL26A, KBH33A, KBL33A, KBH34A, KBL34A, KBH43A, KBL43A, KBH48A and KBL48A. As for safety information, specifications, exploded view, assembly and preparation, operating instructions, and periodic maintenance; this manual does not mention them as you can depend upon their respective owner’s manuals and parts catalogues to tell you the details. In order to perform the work efficiently and to avoid costly mistakes, read the text, thoroughly familiarize yourself with the procedures before stating work, and then do the work carefully in a clean area. Whenever special tools or equipment are specified, do not use makeshift tools or equipment. Precision measurements can only be made if the proper instruments are used, and the use of substitute tools may adversely affect safe operation. To get the longest life out of your equipement. • Follow the Periodic Maintenance Chart in their respec- tive owner’s manuals. • Be alert for problems and non-scheduled maintenance. • Use proper tools and genuine Kawasaki engine parts. Genuide parts provided as spare parts are listed in the Parts Catalog. • Follow the procedures in this manual carefully. Don’t take shortcuts. • Remember to keep complete records of maintenance and repair with dates and any new parts installed. How to Use This Manual Whenever you see these WARNING and CAUTION symbols, heed their instructions! Always follow safe operating and maintenance practices. This warning symbol identifies special instruc- tions or procedures which, if not correctly fol- lowed, could result in personal injury, or loss of life. CAUTION This caution symbol identifies special instruc- tions or procedures which, if not strictly ob- served, could result in damage to or destruction of equipment. This manual contains four more symbols (in addition to WARNING and CAUTION) which will help you distinguish different types of information. NOTE This note symbol indicates points of particular in- terest for more efficient and convenient operation. • Indicates a procedural step or work to be done. Indicates a procedural sub-step or how to do the work of the procedural step it follows. It also precedes the text of a WARNING, CAUTION, or NOTE.

  1-2 GENERAL INFORMATION BeforeServicing Before starting to service the engine, careful read the applicable section to eliminate unnecessary work. Photographs, diagrams, notes, cautions, warnings, and detailed descriptions have been included wherever necessary. Nevertheless, even a detailed account has limitations, a certain amount of basic knowledge is required for successful work. Especially note the following: (1) Dirt Before removal and disassembly, clean the engine. Any dirt entering the engine, carburetor, or other parts will work as an abrasive and shorten the life of the engine. For the same reason, before installing a new part, clean off any dust or metal filings. (2) Tightening Sequence Generally, when installing a part with several bolts, nuts, or screws, start them all in their holes and tighten them to a snug fit. Then tighten them evenly, in a staggered sequence. This is to avoid distortion of the part and/or causing gas or oil leakage. Conversely, when loosening the bolts, nuts, or screws, first loosen all of them by about a quarter of a turn and then remove them. Where there is a tightening sequence indication in this Service Manual, the bolts, nuts, or screws must be tightened in the order and method indicated. (3) Torque When torque values are given in this Service Manual, use them. Either too little or too much torque may lead to serious damage. Use a good quality, reliable torque wrench. (4) Force Common sense should dictate how much force is necessary in assembly and disassembly. If a part seems especially difficult to remove or install, stop and examine what may be causing the problem. Whenever tapping is necessary, tap lightly using a rubber, wooden or plastic-faced mallet. Use an impact driver for screws (particularly for the removal of screws held by a locking agent) in order to avoid damaging the heads. (5) Edges Watch for sharp edges, especially during major engine disassembly and assembly. Protect your hands with gloves or a piece of thick cloth when lifting the engine or turning it over. (6) High-Flash Point Solvent A high-flash point solvent is recommended to reduce fire danger. A commercial solvent commonly available in North America is Standard solvent (generic name). Always follow manufacturer and container directions regarding the use of any solvent. (7) Gasket, O-Ring Do not reuse a gasket or O-ring once it has been in service. The mating surfaces around the gasket should be free of foreign matter and perfectly smooth to avoid oil or compression leaks. (8) Liquid Gasket, Non-Permanent Locking Agent Follow manufacturer’s directions for cleaning and preparing surfaces where these compounds will be used. Apply sparingly. Excessive amounts may block engine oil passages and cause serious damage. An example of a non- permanent locking agent commonly available in North America is Loctite Lock’n Seal (Blue). (9) Press A part installed using a press or driver, such as a journal, should first be coated with oil on its outer or inner circumference so that it will go into place smoothly. (10) Ball Bearing When installing a ball bearing, the bearing race which is affected by friction should be pushed by a suitable driver. This prevents severe stress on the balls and races, and prevents races and balls from being dented. Press a ball bearing until it stops at the stop in the hole or on the shaft. (11) Oil Seal and Grease Seal Replace any oil or grease seals that were removed with new ones, as removal generally damages seals. When pressing in a seal which has manufacturer’s marks, press it in with the marks facing out. Seals should be pressed into place using a suitable driver, which contacts evenly with the side of seal, until the face of the seal is even with the end of the hole. (12) Seal Guide A seal guide is require for certain oil or grease seals during installation to avoid damage to the seal lips. Before a shaft passes through a seal, apply a little oil, preferable high temperature grease on the lips to reduce rubber to metal friction. (13) Circlip, Retaining Ring Replace any circlips and retaining rings that were removed with new ones, as removal weakens and deforms them. When installing circlips and retaining rings, take care to compress or expand them only enough to install them and no more. (14) Cotter Pin Replace any cotter pins that were removed with new ones, as removal deforms and breaks them.

  GENERAL INFORMATION 1-3 BeforeServicing (15) Lubrication Engine wear is generally at its maximum while the engine is warming up and before all the rubbing surfaces have an adequate lubricative film. During assembly, oil or grease (whichever is more suitable) should be applied to any rubbing surface which has lost its lubricative film. Old grease and dirty oil should be cleaned off. Deteriorated grease has lost its lubricative quality and may contain abrasive foreign particles. Don’t use just any oil or grease. Some oils and greases in particular should be used only in certain applications and may be harmful if used in an application for which they are not intended. This manual makes reference to molybdenum disulfide grease (MoS2) in the assembly of certain engine and chassis parts. Always check manufacturer recommendations before using such special lubricants. (16) Replacement Parts When there is a replacement instruction, replace these parts with new ones every time they are removed. These replacement parts will be damaged or lose their original function once removed. (17) Inspection When parts have been disassembled, visually inspect these parts for the following conditions or other damage. If there is any doubt as to the condition of them, replace them with new ones. Abrasion Crack Hardening Warp Bent Dent Scratch Wear Color change Deterioration Seizure (18) Specifications Specification terms are defined as follows: Standards show dimensions or performances which brand-new parts or systems have. Service Limits indicate the usable limits. If the measurement shows excessive wear or deteriorated performance, replace the damaged parts.
