All information illustrations and specifications contained in this manual are based on
the latest product information available at the time of publication.
The right is reserved to make changes in all information at any time without notice.
Due to covering many models of this manual, information or picture being used have
not been specified as one model.
• 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.
• Do not open high-pressure fuel system.
High-pressure fluid remaining in fuel lines can cause
serious injury. Do not disconnect or attempt to repair
fuel lines, sensors, or any other components between
the high-pressure fuel pump and injectors on engines
with high pressure common rail fuel system.
• High voltage exceeding 100 V is generated in the
ECU, and is applied to the injector.
Pay sufficient caution to electric shock when
performing work activities.
• 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.
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.
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.
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.
The emission controls previously implemented in various countries to prevent air pollution will be stepped up as
Non-Road Emission Standards continue to change. The timing or applicable date of the specific Non-Road Emission
regulations depends on the engine output classification.
Over the past several years, Kubota has been supplying diesel engines that comply with regulations in the
respective countries affected by Non-Road Emission regulations. For Kubota Engines, E3B will be the designation
that identifies engine models affected by the next emission phase (See the table below).
When servicing or repairing ###-E3B series engines, use only replacement parts for that specific E3B engine,
designated by the appropriate E3B Kubota Parts List and perform all maintenance services listed in the appropriate
Kubota Operator's Manual or in the appropriate E3B Kubota Workshop Manual. Use of incorrect replacement parts
or replacement parts from other emission level engines (for example: E2B engines), may result in emission levels out
of compliance with the original E3B design and EPA or other applicable regulations.Please refer to the emission label
located on the engine head cover to identify Output classification and Emission Control Information. E3B engines are
identified with "ET" at the end of the Model designation, on the US EPA label. Please note : E3B is not marked on the
engine.
• 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.
• Be sure to perform run-in the serviced or reassembled engine.
Do not attempt to give heavy load at once, or serious damage
may result to the engine.

• Refer to the following table for the suitable American Petroleum Institute (API) classification of engine oil
according to the engine type (with internal EGR, external EGR or non-EGR) and the Fuel Type Used :
(Low Sulfur, Ultra Low Sulfur or High Sulfur Fuels).
(Class CF-4, CG-4 and CH-4 engine oils
cannot be used on EGR type engines.)
0.0015 % (15 ppm)]
EGR : Exhaust Gas Re-circulation
W1024941
• CJ4 classification oil is intended for use in engines equipped with DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) and is Not
Recommended for use in Kubota E3 specification engines.
• Oil used in the engine should have API classification and Proper SAE Engine Oil Viscosity according to
the ambient temperatures where the engine is operated.
• With strict emission control regulations now in effect, the CF-4 and CG-4 engine oils have been developed
for use with low sulfur fuels, for On-Highway vehicle engines. When a Non-Road engine runs on high
sulfur fuel, it is advisable to use a "CF or better" classification engine oil with a high Total Base Number
(a minimum TBN of 10 is recommended).
Fuel :
• Cetane Rating : The minimum recommended Fuel Cetane Rating is 45. A cetane rating greater than 50 is
preferred, especially for ambient temperatures below −20 °C (−4 °F) or elevations above 1500 m (5000 ft).
• Diesel Fuel Specification Type and Sulfur Content % (ppm) used, must be compliant with all applicable
emission regulations for the area in which the engine is operated.
• Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content less than 0.10 % (1000 ppm) is strongly recommended.
• If high-sulfur fuel (sulfur content 0.50 % (5000 ppm) to 1.0 % (10000 ppm)) is used as a diesel fuel, change
the engine oil and oil filter at shorter intervals. (approximately half)
• DO NOT USE Fuels that have sulfur content greater than 1.0 % (10000 ppm).
• Diesel fuels specified to EN 590 or ASTM D975 are recommended.
• No.2-D is a distillate fuel of lower volatility for engines in industrial and heavy mobile service. (SAE J313
JUN87)
• Since KUBOTA diesel engines of less than 56 kW (75 hp) utilize EPA Tier 4 and Interim Tier 4 standards,
the use of low sulfur fuel or ultra low sulfur fuel is mandatory for these engines, when operated in US EPA
regulated areas. Therefore, please use No.2-D S500 or S15 diesel fuel as an alternative to No.2-D, and use
No.1-D S500 or S15 diesel fuel as an alternative to No.1-D for ambient temperatures below −10 °C (14 °F).

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.
• When using an oil of different maker or viscosity from the
previous one, drain old oil. Never mix two different types of
oil.
• 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
engine’s rotating and sliding parts.
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) andLOW (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.
• 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.
• 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..
• Be sure to stop engine before changing engine oil.
1. Start and warm up the engine for approx. 5 minutes.
2. Place an oil pan underneath the engine.
3. To drain the used oil, remove the drain plug (1) at the bottom of
the engine and drain the oil completely.
4. Screw the drain plug (1).
5. Fill new oil up to upper line on the dipstick (2).
• When using an oil of different maker or viscosity from the
previous one, drain all of the old oil.
• Never mix two different types of oil.
• Engine oil should have properties of API classification CF
(See page G-7).
• Use the proper SAE Engine Oil according to ambient
temperature.

Replacing Fuel Filter Cartridge (Cartridge Type)
Water and dust in fuel are collected in the filter cartridge. So,
change the filter cartridge every 500 hours service.
1. Remove the used filter cartridge with filter wrench.
2. Apply a thin film of fuel to the surface of new filter cartridge gasket
before screwing on.
• Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Then
loosen cap slightly to the stop to relieve any excess
pressure before removing cap completely.
1. Stop the engine and let cool down.
2. To drain the coolant, open the radiator drain plug (2) and remove
the radiator cap (1). Then radiator cap (1) must be removed to
completely drain the coolant. And open the drain cock of engine
body.
3. After all coolant is drained, close the drain plug.
4. Fill with clean water and cooling system cleaner.
5. Follow directions of the cleaner instruction.
6. After flushing, fill with clean water and anti-freeze until the coolant
level is just below the port. Install the radiator cap (1) securely.
7. Fill with coolant up to “FULL” (A) mark on the recovery tank (3).
8. Start and operate the engine for few minutes.
9. Stop the engine and let cool. Check coolant level of radiator and
recovery tank (3) and add coolant if necessary.
• Do not start engine without coolant.
• Use clean, fresh, soft water and anti-freeze to fill the radiator
and recovery tank.
• When the anti-freeze is mixed with fresh, soft water, the antifreeze mixing ratio must be less than 50 %.
• Securely tighten radiator cap. If the cap is loose or
improperly fitted, water may leak out and the engine could
overheat.
• 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.
• When the anti-freeze is mixed with fresh, soft water, the antifreeze mixing ratio must be less than 50 %.

• 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.)
• Valve clearance must be checked and adjusted when engine
is cold.

• 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
manufacture’s 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, charge 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
• Operate with a quick charger differs according to the type.
Consult the instruction manual and use accordingly.
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.
• 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 ×
• Check the injection pressure and condition after confirming that there is nobody standing in the direction
the fume goes.
• If the fume from the nozzle directly contacts the human body, cells may be destroyed and blood poisoning
may be caused.
Nozzle Spraying Condition
1. Set the injection nozzle to a nozzle tester, and check the nozzle
spraying condition.
2. If the spraying condition is defective,
replace the nozzle piece. (V3600-E3B, V3600-T-E3B,
V3600-E3CB, V3600-T-E3CB, V3300-E3BG, V3600-T-E3BG)
replace the injection nozzle assembly or repair at Denso service
shop. (V3800DI-T-E3B, V3800DI-T-E3CB, V3800DI-T-E3BG)
7. Turn the flywheel counterclockwise (viewed from flywheel side)
until the fuel fills up to the hole of the delivery valve holder (6) for
No.1 cylinder.
8. After the fuel fills up to the hole of the delivery valve holder for
No.1 cylinder, turn back (clockwise) the flywheel around 1.6 rad
(90 °).
9. Turn the flywheel counterclockwise to set at around 0.35 rad
(20 °) before T.D.C..
10.Slowly turn the flywheel counterclockwise and stop turning when
the fuel begins to come up, to get the present injection timing.
11.Check to see the degree on flywheel.
The flywheel has mark “1TC”, “10” and “20” for the crank angle
before the top dead center of No.1 piston.
12.If the injection timing is not within the specification, rotate the
injection pump unit to adjust the injection timing.
• When installing the injection pump unit to the engine body,
follow the correct procedure.

improperly fitted, water may leak out and the engine could
overheat.
• 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.
• When the anti-freeze is mixed with fresh, soft water, the antifreeze mixing ratio must be less than 50 %.

V3 series IDI engine is the vertical type 4-cycle diesel
engine featuring the advanced performances shown
below.
This is a small sized, high power and environment
conscious engine, which employs the three valve
system, two inlet valves with double ports, and one
exhaust valve with the new E-TVCS VERSION-II. Thus,
this engine achieves high combustion efficiency and
complies with various regulations of exhaust gas.
Based upon the conventional model, Kubota
developed a unique governor system and various new
mechanisms which reduces exhaust emission, noise and
vibration and realize durability and high torque.
The V3 series DI engine is the vertical type 4-cycle
diesel engine featuring the advanced performances
shown below.
This is a small sized, high power and environment
conscious engine, which employs the four valve system,
two inlet valves with double ports, and two exhaust
valves with the new E-CDIS. Thus, this engine achieves
high combustion efficiency and complies with various
regulations of exhaust gas.
Based upon the conventional model, Kubota
developed a unique governor system and various new
mechanisms which reduces exhaust emission, noise and
vibration and realize durability and high torque.
This engine employs separate type crankcases - the
crankcase 1 (1) with combustion part and the crankcase
2 (2) which supports the crankcase 1 (1) and reduces
noise.
Since it is a hanger type, you can easily assemble /
disassemble it. The cylinder is a linerless type which
enables good cooling operation, less strain and good
abrasion resistance.
V3 series engine has 2 types of gear train. Standard
type has 2 idle gears. Optional type has 1 idle gear. If the
engine is optional 1 idle gear type, the engine model
name has “C”. For example, V3600-E3B is standard gear
train type (2 idle gears), V3600-E3CB is optional 1 idle
gear type. Also, the rotating direction of fuel camshaft is
opposite to standard type. For keeping the fire-order
same as 1-3-4-2, high pressure pipe 2 and 3 are overcrossed.
The rubber packing is fitted in to maintain the head
cover 0.5 mm (0.02 in.) or so off the cylinder head. This
arrangement helps reduce noise coming from the
cylinder head.
V3600-E3B, V3600-T-E3B, V3600-E3CB, V3600-TE3CB, V3300-E3BG and V3600-T-E3BG engine employ
three valve system - two inlet valves and double ports,
and one exhaust valve which produce good inlet inertia
to improve combustion efficiency and volumetric
efficiency. It also employs Kubota’s unique combustion
chamber with multiple injection grooves.
Besides the conventional cross port system, it
employs the forced cooling method between valves to
eliminate heat distortion, thus enabling durable and
reliable configuration.

head is provided with double intake ports in order to
ensure appropriate air suction and give an optimum swirl.
The combustion chamber (2) is of Kubota’s exclusive
E-TVCS combustion chamber type. Suction air is whirled
to be mixed effectively with fuel, prompting combustion
and reducing fuel consumption.
In the combustion chamber are installed throttle type
injection nozzle (1) and rapid heating sheathed type glow
plug (4). This glow plug assures easier than ever engine
starts even at -15 °C (5 °F).

[6]CENTER DIRECT INJECTION SYSTEM (E-CDIS) (V3800DI-T-E3B,
V3800DI-T-E3CB, V3800DI-T-E3BG)
V3 series DI engine adopts the Center Direct Injection
System (E-CDIS), in which the injection nozzle is
positioned upright at the center of the cylinder.
This system serves to inject fuel directly at the center
of the cylinder. By so doing, injected fuel and suction air
can be mixed more uniformly, leading to more stable,
higher combustion performance. In other words, cleaner
emission, higher power output, lower fuel consumption,
lower operating noise and higher start-up performance
have been achieved.

W11094950
V3 series DI engine has two intake valves and two
exhaust valves per each cylinder.
The rocker arm (1) contacts a bridge arm (2) instead
of the valves stem tip.
The bridge arm then contacts both intake valves or
bath exhaust valves and causes two valves to open
simultaneously.
Engine are sure to vibrate by piston’s 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 cylinder engine is fitted with balance weight
on crankcase to absorb the second inertia mentioned
above and reduce vibration.
V3 series engine has a water-cooled oil cooler that
not only cools hot oil, but also warms the cool engine oil
shortly after start up.
As shown in the figure, the oil flows inside the
connected cooler plate, whereas coolant is kept
circulating outside the cooler plate, thereby cooling down
or warming the oil.
Conventional thermostatically-controlled valves
(outlet water temperature control type) open against the
flow of coolant. In this design, the pressure (steam
pressure + water pump’s discharge pressure) affects the
open/close performance of such valve. In other words,
the valve may be delayed in opening at a preset opening
temperature opening suddenly, above the preset
temperature. This is called the overshoot phenomenon.
The overshoot problem invites the undershoot
phenomenon too. Too much water cooled by the radiator
flows through the water passage, which suddenly closes
the valve below the thermostat’s preset valve closing
temperature.
A repeated cycle of such overshoot and undershoot
phenomena is called the water temperature hunting.
This hunting problem may adversely affects the cooling
system parts, and also the engine and its related
components.
To cope with this trouble, the V3 series engine is
equipped with the flow control thermostat. The valve has
a notch to control the coolant flow rate smoothly in small
steps.

(F) Valve Lift
Bottom bypass system is introduced in V3 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.
The engine employs the separated fuel injection
pump in combination with Kubota’s own small multifunction mechanical governor, which enable more
dependability.
It also employs the torque limiting mechanism to
control the maximum peak torque so that it complies with
the regulations of exhaust gas.
This mechanism maintains engine speed at a
constant level even under fluctuating loads, provides
stable idling and regulates maximum engine speed by
controlling the fuel injection rate.
This engine uses a mechanical governor that controls
the fuel injection rate at all speed ranges (from idling to
maximum speed) by utilizing the balance between the
flyweight’s centrifugal force and spring tension.
A governor shaft for monitoring engine speed is
independent of the injection pump shaft and rotates at
twice the speed of conventional types, providing better
response to load fluctuation and delivering greater
engine output.

Q At Start
The stop solenoid (energized-to-run type) is powered
to release the stop lever.
As no centrifugal force is applied to flyweight (2), low
tension of start spring (1) permits control rack to move
the starting position, supplying the amount of fuel
required to start the engine.
Turn the speed control lever (6) clockwise to idle the
engine. It tensions the governor spring (3) to pull the fork
lever 2 (1).
When the fork lever 2 is pulled, it moves the torque
spring pin (7) and the fork lever 1 (5) in the direction of
the arrow A to restrain the weight. In combination with
the start spring tension, it is balanced with the centrifugal
force of flywheel weight to keep idling.

As the speed control lever is changed from the middle

The fork lever 2 moves until it reaches the output
limiting bolt to keep rated rotation and rated output.
When the engine is overloaded, the engine rotating
speed decreases and the centrifugal force of flywheel
weight decreases. Then the torque spring moves the
fork lever 1 in the direction of arrow A.
The control rack moves in the direction that increases
fuel supply to increase the output. It is balanced with the
centrifugal force of the flywheel weight to produce lowspeed output (torque output).

[2]ELECTRONIC GOVERNOR (FACTORY OPTION FOR V3300-E3BG,
V3600-T-E3BG, STANDARD FOR V3800DI-T-E3BG)
The electronic governor works in conjunction with a mechanical governor. The function of the electronic governor
is, by isochronous control, to maintain constant engine speed the prescribed level, even if the load changes, by

1. Circuit design
The ECU consists of the following function: speed control, delay timer that serves to delay detection until the oil
pressure rises; sensor function that senses an oil pressure, water temperature or battery charge error and holds
the error status; emergency stop function that deactivates the delay timer and lock-in circuits and forces the ECU
to turn on.
2. Function details (See the block diagram.)
- Speed control
Rotational speed is constantly maintained at the prescribed level, even if the load changes, fuel control according
to isochronous control of the Proportional Solenoid.
- Delay timer function
The timer provides for a delay from the instant the starter is released to the instant the sensors get started. The
timer is activated by the voltage at the key switch’s No. 50 terminal.
- Sensor function
This function serves to sense the oil pressure switch, water temperature switch, alternator L terminal and engine
speed sensor. If any of the 4 elements gets grounded for a specified time or longer, the function is activated to
hold this status.
- Emergency stop function
The function is used to deactivate the delay timer and force the engine to a stop.
3. Circuit behavior
For a certain time after the key switch has been set to the ST position to get the engine started, the oil pressure,
water temperature and battery charge status are not detected for an error and an emergency stop.
When the key switch has been returned from the ST to ON position (AC terminal active), the ECU gets ready for
error detection after a specified delay time.
If the key switch is placed to the OFF position or any of the water temperature, oil pressure switch, battery charge
circuit and engine speed sensor is detected, the ECU is activated to turn off the solenoid power.
returned from the ST to ON position, the system gets
ready to detect an error.
2. The oil pressure switch stays out of function while the
engine is at a stop. When the oil pressure is as
specified, the switch gets back to normal after the
engine has got restarted.
3. If any of the sensors detects an error, the proportional
solenoid power is interrupted, which brings the engine
to a stop.

Q Usual stop
1. A specified time after the key switch has been
returned from the ST to ON position, the system gets

2. The oil pressure switch stays out of function while the
engine is at a stop. When the oil pressure is as
specified, the switch gets back to normal after the
engine has got restarted.
3. When the key switch is set to the OFF position, the
proportional solenoid power is interrupted, which
brings the engine to a stop.
It processes the speed signal received from the
speed sensor and compares it to a reference speed set
with Calibration Program. The output of the control unit
is a pulse width modulated signal to the proportional
solenoid.
W11132660
Q Engine Speed Sensor
The engine speed sensor detects engine speed by
converting mechanical motion into electrical signals.
W11134530
Q Proportional Solenoid
The actuator converts a pulse width modulated signal
received from the controller, to an output rod position,
proportional to the duty cycle of the pulse width
modulated signal.
This device makes the fuel injection timing advanced
by engine oil temperature and engine rpm in order to
improve the engine cold start-ability and reduce the blue
white smoke.
W1017432
Q Thermal control
When the engine rpm is low and engine oil
temperature is under 30 °C, the fuel injection timing is
max. advanced.
When the engine rpm is low and engine oil
temperature is higher than 70 °C, the fuel injection timing
advance is 0 degree.
The fuel injection timing advance by engine oil
temperature is controlled with shape memory (storage)
spring.
If the engine rpm is higher than a certain rpm, the fuel
injection timing advance by engine oil temperature does
not work. At that time, the quantity of advance timing is
variably changed by centrifugal force of the timer
flyweights which meets engine rpm.
This type of nozzle is designed to control the injection
quantity when the lift rate is low at start of injection, and
to cut down on the knocking sound caused by excessive
fuel injection by giving the needle valve section more
taper than before to prevent the rapid increase in the
injection quantity when the initial injection turns into the
full-force injection.
Also, employed to prevent the injection quantity loss
in the throttle section caused by carbon, the flat cut
provided at the needle valve section helps the throttle
withstand long use and reduce as much knocking sound
as when it was new.
The heat seal is employed to improve the durability
and reliability of the nozzle.

Exhaust and noise regulations are becoming
increasingly strict, particularly in regard to the reduction
of NOx (nitrogen oxides) and particulates.
The two-spring nozzle holder has been developed to
reduce NOx (nitrogen oxides) and particulates from
direct injection diesel engine exhaust.
Q Features
The two-spring nozzle holder limits needle valve lift at
initial valve opening to throttle the injection quantity.
Main injection occurs when the in-line pressure has
increased sufficiently to move the needle valve through
its full lift.
This gives the following features.
• Improved engine stability at low and intermediate
speeds.
• Decreased engine hunting and surge.
• Decreased noise at idling.
• Decreased idling speed because of improved engine
stability.
• Stabilized fuel injection characteristics from the
injection pump and nozzle system, and easier
matching of governor characteristics to engine
demand.

P1 : First Opening Pressure

L : Full Needle Valve Lift
l : Needle Valve Pre-lift
The force of the high pressure fuel delivered by the injection pump acts to push the needle valve up. When this
force exceeds the set force of the first spring, the nozzle’s needle valve pushes the first pushrod up and the valve
opens. (First opening pressure is represented by point E in the left hand figure, and point A in the right hand figure.)
Q Second opening pressure
When the first pushrod has been lifted through the pre-lift, it contacts the second pushrod. As the set force of the
second spring is acting on the second pushrod, the combined forces of both the first spring and the second spring then
act on the needle valve, which will not lift unless these forces are overcome.
When the high pressure fuel (ie, in-line pressure) overcomes the combined forces of the first and second springs,
the needle valve is again lifted and main injection can begin. (Second opening pressure is represented by point F in
the bottom left hand figure and B-C in the above figure.)
[6]INJECTION PUMP WITH F.S.P. (V3800DI-T-E3B, V3800DI-T-E3CB,

The fuel injection pump with F.S.P. (Fine Spill Port)
mechanism is equipped with two functions: speed timer
function and injection rate control function.
The former function works like this. As the rpm is low,
the injection timing gets delayed. This helps cut down on
NOx and operating noise.
The latter function serves to keep down the initial
injection rate and keep up the later injection rate, which
cuts down on NOx and PM as well.

[1]BOOST COMPENSATOR (OPTION FOR TURBOCHARGED MODEL)
The boost compensator is controlled by the boost
pressure of the control mechanism which controls
transient smoke caused by oversupply of fuel when the
engine starts and accelerates.
When the boost pressure is lower than working
pressure of the boost actuator (1), it prevents oversupply
of fuel to reduce transient smoke.
When the boost pressure is higher than working
pressure of the boost actuator (1), it controls the supply
of fuel to the equivalent of maximum power / rated speed
output.
The boost compensator adjusting screws (2) are set
and tamper-proof capped in factory, so never take off the

The intake air heater is introduced in order to further
improve the starting performance and to reduce the
white smoke at cold starting.
The intake air heater is mounted on the intake
manifold. In this new construction, there is no need to
arrange any glow plug on the cylinder head. This means
that a multi-valve design can be implemented and that
the starting performance and serviceability are
enhanced.

[1]GENERAL
In order to meet with the strict emission regulations, Kubota has adopted the EGR on the V3600-T and V3800DI-T.
The nitrogen oxide (NOx) which is a hazardous component in exhaust gas is generated by oxidation of nitrogen in the
air, due to rise of the combustion temperature in cylinders. The EGR is a system in which the exhaust gas with lean
oxygen is cooled and returned to cylinders again in order to lower the combustion temperature. As a result, NOx can be
decreased.
And EGR has 2 types. One is an internal EGR, the other is an external EGR.
Internal EGR consists of 2 stage exhaust camshaft.
At the exhaust stroke, 1st stage exhaust cam opens the
exhaust valve, and exhaust gas flows into the exhaust
manifold. At the suction stroke, intake valve is open and
fresh air flows into the cylinder, and also, 2nd stage
exhaust cam opens the exhaust valve, and exhaust gas
in the exhaust manifold is sucked back into the cylinder.

External / Mechanical EGR consists of water cooled EGR cooler, mechanical EGR valve, reed valve and thermo
valve.
When the coolant temperature is getting higher, thermo valve is open and the boost pressure of intake manifold
gets to reach the diaphragm of mechanical EGR valve.
If the coolant temperature is high, but the boost pressure is low, the EGR valve does not open. If coolant
temperature is high, boost pressure is also high, EGR valve is open and cooled EGR gas through the water cooled
EGR cooler flows into the intake manifold. And the reed valve between EGR valve and intake manifold prevents the
fresh air flowing into EGR system.
The EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) cooler is used
to lower combustion temperature and efficiently cool
EGR gas, with the aim of reducing the NOx that is in the
exhaust gas of diesel engine.
The EGR cooler is placed between the exhaust
manifold and the intake manifold of the engine and
returns the cooled exhaust gases to the engine suction
side.
The EGR cooler has resistant to clogging up,
compact and efficient tubes internally.

It operates by the pressure difference between inside of
the crankcase and the atmosphere, and prevents back
flow of the mixture of exhaust gas and intake air
generated by the piston and valves. It is used as the
secondary air introduction device for the
countermeasure against exhaust gas of four-cycle
engines.
