INFORMATION
OPERATE SAFELY
• Do not use the machine after you consume alcohol
or medication or when you are tired.
• Put on applicable clothing and safety equipment.
• Use applicable tools only. Do not use alternative
tools or parts.
• When 2 or more persons do servicing, make sure
that you do it safely.
• Do not operate below the machine that only a jack
holds. Always use a safety stand to hold the
machine.
• Do not touch the hot parts or parts that turn when the
engine operates.
• Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine
operates, or immediately after it stops. If not, hot
water can spout out from the radiator. Only remove
the radiator cap when it is at a sufficiently low
temperature to touch with bare hands. Slowly loosen
the cap to release the pressure before you remove it
fully.
• Released fluid (fuel or hydraulic oil) under pressure
can cause damage to the skin and cause serious
injury. Release the pressure before you disconnect
hydraulic or fuel lines. Tighten all connections before
you apply the pressure.
• Do not open a fuel system under high pressure.
The fluid under high pressure that stays in fuel lines
can cause serious injury. Do not disconnect or repair
the fuel lines, sensors, or any other components
between the fuel pump and injectors on engines with
a common rail fuel system under high pressure.
• Put on an applicable ear protective device (earmuffs
or earplugs) to prevent injury against loud noises.
• Be careful about electric shock. The engine
generates a high voltage of more than DC100 V in
the ECU and is applied to the injector.
WSM000001INI0012US0
PREVENT A FIRE
• Fuel is very flammable and explosive under some
conditions. Do not smoke or let flam es or sparks in
your work area.
• To prevent sparks from an accidental short circuit,
always disconnect the battery negative cable first
and connect it last.
• The battery gas can cause an explosion. Keep the
sparks and open flame away from the top of battery,
especially when you charge the battery.
• Make sure that you do not spill fuel on the engine.

INFORMATION
KEEP A GOOD AIRFLOW IN THE WORK AREA
• If the engine is in operation, make sure that the area
has good airflow. Do not operate the engine in a
closed area. The exhaust gas contains poisonous
carbon monoxide.
WSM000001INI0006US0
DISCARD FLUIDS CORRECTLY
• Do not discard fluids on the ground, down the drain,
into a stream, pond, or lake. Obey related
environmental protection regulations when you
discard oil, fuel, coolant, electrolyte and other
dangerous waste.
WSM000001INI0007US0
PREVENT ACID BURNS
• Keep electrolyte away from your eyes, hands and
clothing. Sulfuric acid in battery electrolyte is
poisonous and it can burn your skin and clothing and
cause blindness. If you spill electrolyte on yourself,
clean yourself with water, and get medical aid
immediately.
WSM000001INI0008US0
PREPARE FOR EMERGENCIES
• Keep a first aid kit and fire exti nguisher ready at all
times.
• Keep the emergency contact telephone numbers
near your telephone at all times.

[2] E4B ENGINE
[Example: Engine Model Name V2403-CR-TE4]
The emission controls previously implemented in various countries to prevent air pollution will be stepped up as
Nonroad Emission Standards continue to change. The timing or applicable date of the specific Nonroad 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 Nonroad Emission regulations. For KUBOTA Engines, E4B will be the designation
that identifies engine models affected by the next emission phase (See the table below).
When servicing or repairing ###-E4B series engines, use only replacement parts for that specific E4B engine,
designated by the appropriate E4B KUBOTA Parts List and perform all maintenance services listed in the appropriate
KUBOTA Operator's Manual or in the appropriate E4B KUBOT A Workshop Manual. Use of inc orrect replacement
parts or replacement parts from other emission level engines (for example: E3B engines), may result in emission
levels out of compliance with the original E4B 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.
E4B engines are identified with "EF" at the end of the Model designation, on the US EPA label. Please note: E4B is
not marked on the engine.
(1) EU regulation engine output classification category
(2) "E4B" engines are identified with "EF" at the end of the Model designation, on

"E4B" designates some Interim Tier 4 / Tier 4 models, depending on engine
output classification.

2. GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
• When you disassemble, carefully put the parts in a clean area
to make it easy to find the parts. You must install the screws,
bolts and nuts in their initial position to prevent the reassembly
errors.
• When it is necessary to use special tools, use KUBOTA special
tools. Refer to the drawings when you make special tools tha t
you do not use frequently.
• Before you disassemble or repair machine, make sure that you
always disconnect the ground cable from the battery first.
• Remove oil and dirt from parts before you measure.
• Use KUBOTA genuine parts for replacement to keep the
machine performance and to make sure of safety.
• You must replace the gaskets and O-rings when you assemble
again. Apply grease (1) to new O-rings or oil seals before you
assemble.
• When you assemble the external or internal snap rings, make
sure that the sharp edge (3) faces against the direction from
which force (2) is applied.
• When inserting spring pins, their splits must face the direction
from which a force is applied. See the figure on the left side.
• To prevent damage to the hydraulic system, use only specified
fluid or equivalent.
• Clean the parts before you measure them.
• Tighten the fittings to the specified torque. Too much torque can
cause damage to the hydraulic units or the fittings. Not sufficient
torque can cause oil leakage.
• When you use a new hose or pipe, tighten the nuts to the
specified torque. Then loosen (approx. by 45°) and let them be
stable before you tighten to the specified torque (This is not
applied to the parts with seal tape).
• When you remove the two ends of a pipe, remove the lower end
first.
• Use two pliers in removal and installation. One to hold the stable
side, and the other to turn the side you remove to prevent twists.
• Make sure that the sleeves of flared connectors and tapers of
hoses are free of dust and scratches.
• After you tighten the fittings, clean the joint and apply the
maximum operation pressure 2 to 3 times to check oil leakage.

3. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR ELECTRICAL
PARTS AND WIRING
To ensure safety and prevent damage to the machine and
surrounding equipment, obey the following precautions in handling
electrical parts and wiring.
• Check electrical wiring for damage and loosened
connection every year. To this end, educate the customer
to do his or her own check and at the same time
recommend the dealer to perform periodic check for a fee.
• Do not try to modify or remodel any electrical parts and
wiring.
• When removing the battery cables, disconnect the nega tive
cable first. When installing the battery cables, connect the
positive cable first.

GENERAL
Checking Battery Condition
To avoid the possibility of battery explosion:
For the refillable type battery, follow the instructions below.
• Do not use or charge the refillable type battery if the fluid
level is below the LOWER (lower limit level) mark.
Otherwise, the battery component parts may prematurely
deteriorate, which may shorten the battery's service life or
cause an explosion. Check the fluid level regularly and add
distilled water as required so that the fluid level is between
the UPPER and LOWER levels.
• Never remove the battery cap while the engine is running.
• Keep electrolyte away from eyes, hands and clothes. If you
are spattered with it, wash it away completely with water
immediately and get medical attention.
• Keep open sparks and flames away from the battery at all
times. Hydrogen gas mixed with oxygen becomes very
explosive.
• Wear eye protection and rubber gloves when working
around battery.
• The factory-installed battery is of non-refillable type. If the
indicator turns white, do not charge the battery but replace
it with new one.
• Mishandling the battery shortens the service life and adds
to maintenance costs.
• The original battery is maintenance free, but needs some
servicing.
If the battery is weak, the engine will be difficult to start and
the lights will be dim. It is important to check the battery
periodically.
How to read the indicator
Check the battery condition by reading the indicator.
• 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 the battery, ensure the vent caps are
securely in place. (if equipped)
• 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. To slow charge the battery, connect the battery positive terminal
to the charger positive terminal and the negative to the negative,
then recharge in the standard fashion.
2. A boost charge is only for emergencies. It will partially charge
the battery at a high rate and in a short time.
When using a boost-charged battery, it is necessary to recharge
the battery as early as possible.
Failure to do this will shorten the battery's service life.
3. The battery is charged if the indicator dis play turns green fro m
black.
4. When exchanging an old battery for a new one, use battery of
equal specification shown in table 1.

slowly rotate cap to the first stop and allow sufficient time
for excess pressure to escape before removing the cap
completely.
1. Stop the engine, remove the key and let it cool down.
2. To drain the coolant, open the radiator drain plug and remove
radiator cap. The radiator cap must be removed to completely
drain the coolant.
3. After all coolant is drained, reinstall the drain plug.
4. Fill with clean soft water and cooling system cleaner.
5. Follow directions of the cleaner instruction.
6. After flushing, fill with clean soft water and anti-freeze until the
coolant level is just below the radiator cap.
Install the radiator cap securely.
7. Fill with coolant up to the "FULL" mark of recovery tank.
8. Start and operate the engine for fe w min ute s.
9. Stop the engine, remove the key and let cool.
10. Check coolant level of recovery tank and add coolant if
necessary.
11. Properly dispose of used coolant.
GENERAL
9Y1211012GEG0090US0

Anti-Freeze
To avoid personal injury:
• When using antifreeze, put on some protection such as
rubber gloves. (Antifreeze contains poison.)
• If it is swallowed, seek immediate medical help. Do NOT
make a person throw up unless told to do so by poison
control or a health care professional. Use standard first aid
and CPR for signs of shock or cardiac arrest. Call your
local Poison Control Center or your local emergency
number for further assistance.
• When antifreeze comes in contact with the skin or clothing,
wash it off immediately.
• Do not mix different types of antifreeze.
The mixture can produce chemical reaction causing
harmful substances.
• Antifreeze is extremely flammable and explosive under
certain conditions. Keep fire and children away from
antifreeze.
• When draining fluids from the engine, place some
container underneath the engine body.
• Do not pour waste onto the grounds, down a drain, or into
any water source.
• Also, observe the relevant environmental protection
regulations when disposing of antifreeze.
Always use a 50/50 mix of long-life coolant and clean soft water
in KUBOTA engines.
1. Long-life coolant (hereafter LLC) comes in several types. Use
ethylene glycol (EG) type for this engine.
2. Before employing LLC-mixed cooling water, fill the radiator with
fresh water and empty it again.
Repeat this procedure 2 or 3 times to clean up the inside.
3. Mixing the LLC
Premix 50 % LLC with 50 % clean soft water. When mixing, stir
it up well, and then fill into the radiator.
4. The procedure for the mixing of water and antifreeze differs
according to the make of the antifreeze and the ambient
temperature. Refer to SAE J1034 standard, more specifically
also to SEA J814c.

Checking Battery Condition
To avoid the possibility of battery explosion:
For the refillable type battery, follow the instructions below.
• Do not use or charge the refillable type battery if the fluid
level is below the LOWER (lower limit level) mark.
Otherwise, the battery component parts may prematurely
deteriorate, which may shorten the battery's service life or
cause an explosion. Check the fluid level regularly and add
distilled water as required so that the fluid level is between
the UPPER and LOWER levels.
• Never remove the battery cap while the engine is running.
• Keep electrolyte away from eyes, hands and clothes. If you
are spattered with it, wash it away completely with water
immediately and get medical attention.
• Keep open sparks and flames away from the battery at all
times. Hydrogen gas mixed with oxygen becomes very
explosive.
• Wear eye protection and rubber gloves when working
around battery.
• The factory-installed battery is of non-refillable type. If the
indicator turns white, do not charge the battery but replace
it with new one.
• Mishandling the battery shortens the service life and adds
to maintenance costs.
• The original battery is maintenance free, but needs some
servicing.
If the battery is weak, the engine will be difficult to start and
the lights will be dim. It is important to check the battery
periodically.
How to read the indicator
Check the battery condition by reading the indicator.
• 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 the battery, ensure the vent caps are
securely in place. (if equipped)
• 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. To slow charge the battery, connect the battery positive terminal
to the charger positive terminal and the negative to the negative,
then recharge in the standard fashion.
2. A boost charge is only for emergencies. It will partially charge
the battery at a high rate and in a short time.
When using a boost-charged battery, it is necessary to recharge
the battery as early as possible.
Failure to do this will shorten the battery's service life.
3. The battery is charged if the indicator dis play turns green fro m
black.
4. When exchanging an old battery for a new one, use battery of
equal specification shown in table 1.

Flushing Cooling System and Changing Coolant
To avoid personal injury:
• Do not remove radiator cap while coolant is hot. When cool,
slowly rotate cap to the first stop and allow sufficient time
for excess pressure to escape before removing the cap
completely.
1. Stop the engine, remove the key and let it cool down.
2. To drain the coolant, open the radiator drain plug and remove
radiator cap. The radiator cap must be removed to completely
drain the coolant.
3. After all coolant is drained, reinstall the drain plug.
4. Fill with clean soft water and cooling system cleaner.
5. Follow directions of the cleaner instruction.
6. After flushing, fill with clean soft water and anti-freeze until the
coolant level is just below the radiator cap.
Install the radiator cap securely.
7. Fill with coolant up to the "FULL" mark of recovery tank.
8. Start and operate the engine for fe w min ute s.
9. Stop the engine, remove the key and let cool.
10. Check coolant level of recovery tank and add coolant if
necessary.
11. Properly dispose of used coolant.
GENERAL
• Do not start engine without coolant.
• Use clean, fresh soft water and anti-freeze to fill the radiator
and recovery tank.
• When mixing the anti-freeze with water, the anti-freeze
mixing ratio is 50 %.
• Securely tighten radiator cap. If the cap is loose or
improperly fitted, water may leak out and the engine could
overheat.

Anti-Freeze
To avoid personal injury:
• When using antifreeze, put on some protection such as
rubber gloves. (Antifreeze contains poison.)
• If it is swallowed, seek immediate medical help. Do NOT
make a person throw up unless told to do so by poison
control or a health care professional. Use standard first aid
and CPR for signs of shock or cardiac arrest. Call your
local Poison Control Center or your local emergency
number for further assistance.
• When antifreeze comes in contact with the skin or clothing,
wash it off immediately.
• Do not mix different types of antifreeze.
The mixture can produce chemical reaction causing
harmful substances.
• Antifreeze is extremely flammable and explosive under
certain conditions. Keep fire and children away from
antifreeze.
• When draining fluids from the engine, place some
container underneath the engine body.
• Do not pour waste onto the grounds, down a drain, or into
any water source.
• Also, observe the relevant environmental protection
regulations when disposing of antifreeze.
Always use a 50/50 mix of long-life coolant and clean soft water
in KUBOTA engines.
1. Long-life coolant (hereafter LLC) comes in several types. Use
ethylene glycol (EG) type for this engine.
2. Before employing LLC-mixed cooling water, fill the radiator with
fresh water and empty it again.
Repeat this procedure 2 or 3 times to clean up the inside.
3. Mixing the LLC
Premix 50 % LLC with 50 % clean soft water. When mixing, stir
it up well, and then fill into the radiator.
4. The procedure for the mixing of water and antifreeze differs
according to the make of the antifreeze and the ambient
temperature. Refer to SAE J1034 standard, more specifically
also to SEA J814c.
