3. Onderdele-identifikasie
Each section of this manual is dedicated to specific systems or assemblies of the generator. Parts are presented through detailed exploded diagrams, allowing for clear visualization of component relationships and assembly order. Each component in the diagram is assigned a reference number, which corresponds to a part number and description in the accompanying parts list.

Figuur 3.1: Example of a typical exploded view diagram from the parts manual. This image illustrates how individual components of a generator assembly are depicted, showing their relative positions and connections. Users can cross-reference the numbered parts in the diagram with the corresponding parts list to identify specific components and their part numbers.
To identify a part:
- Locate the relevant section for the system you are working on (e.g., Engine Assembly, Fuel System, Electrical Components).
- Find the exploded diagram that illustrates the specific assembly.
- Identify the component in the diagram and note its reference number.
- Refer to the parts list associated with that diagram to find the corresponding part number and description.
4. Assembly and Disassembly Procedures
While this is primarily a parts identification manual, the exploded views provide critical insight into the correct sequence for assembly and disassembly. Always observe the following general guidelines:
- Veiligheid eerste: Always disconnect power and ensure the generator is cool before beginning any work. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
- Orde van operasies: Components are typically shown in their assembled state. Disassembly generally proceeds in the reverse order of assembly shown in the diagrams.
- Bevestigingsmiddels: Pay close attention to the type, size, and location of all fasteners. Note any specific torque specifications if available in a service manual.
- Pakkings en Seëls: Always replace gaskets, O-rings, and seals during reassembly to prevent leaks and ensure proper function.
- Netheid: Maintain a clean work environment to prevent contamination of sensitive components.
5. Component Specifications
This manual provides part numbers and descriptions. For detailed technical specifications such as dimensions, material composition, or performance characteristics of individual components, refer to the official Kubota service manuals or contact an authorized Kubota dealer. The part numbers provided herein are crucial for ensuring you obtain the correct replacement components.
6. Ordering Replacement Parts
When ordering replacement parts, always use the exact part number listed in this manual. Providing the generator model number and serial number along with the part number will help ensure accuracy. Contact an authorized Kubota dealer or parts supplier for genuine Kubota replacement parts.
7. Veiligheidsinligting
