INTRODUCTION
Read this manual carefully 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.
This machine is of metric design. Measurements in this
manual are metric. 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, ASTM D-975, GOST R52368 or GB252.
Failure to use diesel fuel with quality as specified
above may allow the engine to emit exhaust gas which
cleanness can not conform to the requests in various
relevant regulations. In addition, serious damage to the
engine may result. Consult with your nearest Kawasaki
dealer for detailed information.
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, competent operators should be allowed
to operate the machine. Moreover, only officially licensed
personnel should be allowed to inspect and service the
machine.
All information, illustrations and specifications in this manual are based on the latest product information available at the
time of publication. The right is reserved to make changes at any time without notice.

22. Equipment of Head Guard, ROPS, FOPS
In case the machine is operated in areas where the possibility
of falling stones or debris exist, equip a head guard, ROPS, or
FOPS according to the potential hazardous conditions. (The
standard cab for this machine corresponds to ROPS and FOPS.)
Any modification of the ROPS structure will modify its
performances and its certification will be lost.
ROPS: Roll-Over Protective Structure
FOPS: Falling Object Protective Structure
Provide Signals for Jobs Involving Multiple
Machines
x For jobs involving multiple machines, provide signals
commonly known by all personnel involved. Also, appoint
a signal person to coordinate the job site. Make sure that all
personnel obey the signal person’s directions.
