FOREWORD
Read this manual carefully before starting and operating
the machine for the first time to learn how to operate
and service your machine correctly. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury or machine damage.
This standard specification machine can be operated
under the following conditions without being modified.
Atmospheric Temperature: -20 °C to 40 °C (-4 °F to 104 °F)
Altitude: 0 m to 2000 m (0 ft to 6600 ft)
In case the machine is used under conditions other than
described above, consult your nearest Kawasaki dealer.
This manual should be considered a permanent part of
your machine and should remain with the machine when
you sell it. Replace immediately if missing, damaged or
not readable.
This machine is of metric design. Measurements in this
manual are metric. American standard measurements are
included when appropriate. Use only metric hardware
and tools as specified.
Right-hand and left-hand sides are determined by
facing in the direction of forward travel.
Write product identification numbers in the Machine
Numbers section. Accurately record all the numbers
to help in tracing the machine should it be stolen.
Your dealer also needs these numbers when you order
parts. If this manual is kept on the machine, also file the
identification numbers in a secure place off the machine.
Use only diesel fuel with quality specified in JIS K-2204,
EN-590 or ASTM D-975 which contents 15 ppm or lower
sulfur.
Also use fuel that complies with solid contamination level
of class 18/16/13 of ISO4406-1999 (solid contamination
includes dust). If the fuel specified above is not used,
exhaust gas that exceeds the regulation values may be
discharged, causing serious problem on the engine.
Consult your nearest Kawasaki dealer.
Warranty is provided as a part of Kawasaki’s support
program for customers who operate and maintain their
equipment as described in this manual. The warranty is
explained on the warranty certificate which you should
have received from your dealer.
This warranty provides you with the assurance that
Kawasaki will back its products where defects appear
within the warranty period. In some circumstances,
Kawasaki also provides field improvements, often without
charge to the customer, even if the product is out of
warranty.
Should the equipment be abused, or modified to
change its performance beyond the original factory
specifications, the warranty will become void and field
improvements may be denied.
Setting fuel delivery above specifications or otherwise
overpowering machines will result in such action.
Only qualified, experienced operators officially licensed
(according to local law) should be allowed to operate
the machine. Moreover, only officially licensed personnel
should be allowed to inspect and service the machine.
PRIOR TO OPERATING THIS MACHINE, INCLUDING
COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, IN A COUNTRY OTHER
THAN A COUNTRY OF ITS INTENDED USE, IT MAY
BE NECESSARY TO MAKE MODIFICATIONS TO IT SO
THAT IT COMPLIES WITH THE LOCAL REGULATORY
STANDARDS (INCLUDING SAFETY STANDARDS)
AND LEGAL REQUIREMENTS OF THAT PARTICULAR
COUNTRY. PLEASE DO NOT EXPORT OR OPERATE
THIS MACHINE OUTSIDE OF THE COUNTRY OF ITS
INTENDED USE UNTIL SUCH COMPLIANCE HAS BEEN
CONFIRMED. PLEASE CONTACT KCM CORPORATION OF
AMERICA OR ANY OF OUR AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTOR
OR DEALER IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS
CONCERNING COMPLIANCE.
All information, illustrations and specifications in this manual are based on the latest product information available at the

SAFETY
S-1
Recognize Safety Information
yThese are the SAFETY ALERT SYMBOLS.
xWhen you see these symbols on your machine or in this
manual, be alert to the potential for personal injury.
xFollow recommended precautions and safe operating
practices.
Understand Signal Words
yOn machine safety signs, signal words designating the
degree or level of hazard - DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION
- are used with the safety alert symbol.
