Please confirm whether emission-related items are certain on application review (Exhaust Emission Check Sheet). For mass-production Kubota prepares the installation instructions. These instructions are provided for the final engine assemblers who must ensure the engine, exhaust system (catalyst), intake system, gasoline fuel system and etc, are Installed correctly in the engine’s certified configuration.
• Kubota offers standard Air-cleaner kit. The intake parts should be installed as shown in figure below. • If you use an OEM intake system for a spec engine, consult Kubota based on the Exhaust Emission Check Sheet before the application review.
You must install the exhaust system confirmed at application review and/or the Exhaust Emission Check Sheet for mass-production. (Important) • You must consult Kubota based on the Exhaust Emission Check Sheet when you change the exhaust parts after application review. Do not change without the consultation with Kubota.
(6) Engine Labels • The following labels must be visible. If you install the engine in a way that makes the engine’s emission control information label hard to read during normal engine maintenance, you must place a duplicate label on the equipment, as described in 40 CFR 1068.105.

Kubota offers certified catalytic mufflers and catalytic converters. You should use only Kubota catalyst parts certified and assemble the exhaust parts as follows and/or the Exhaust Emission Check Sheet. Catalyst parts other than Kubota must not be used because other catalyst is not certified our engine.
• Allowable max thickness of the spacer is 20 mm (0.78 inch). CAUTION • Kubota gasket must be installed on both sides of the spacer. • The surface-roughness of both Sides of the spacer must be less than 3.2a (3.2 µm).
And you must guide user to stop engine immediately when the engine abnormality driving. • When you use the Kubota catalytic converter with non-Kubota mufflers, it is necessary to confirm that the exhaust system back pressure is less than allowable limit. Refer to the curve below.
4. FOR MASS PRODUCTION (WG752, WG972) The manufacturing number and the catalyst number are marked on surfaces of the catalyst parts. You must keep record of the catalyst identification information with the engine model and engine serial number that the catalyst is installed.
