Any modifications to the fuel system or any adjustments made on this engine will cause this engine to be in
non-compliance with emission regulations.
2. ALTITUDE COMPENSATION KIT
■ IMPORTANT
● Altitude compensation kit is applied for EPA and CARB certified engines only.
EPA and CARB emission regulations require the ultimate user of non-road SI engine, as their obligation,
to adjust the emissions by installing the appropriate genuine altitude compensation kit. And the engine
manufacturer must provide such kit when the engine is operated at an altitude that exceeds the standard
level, as guarantied by the engine manufacturer. For this purpose, KUBOTA prepared genuine altitude
compensation kit described below. The ultimate users of SI engines must comply with the regulations
through the installation of the appropriate altitude compensation kit for the altitude range where the
engine will be operated.
● See page S-19: "Replacement of Altitude Compensation Kit" for reference to the exchange of altitude
compensation kit.
