Kawasaki service manual for the 2004–2013 MULE 600 and MULE 610 4x4 utility vehicles, including the KAF400-A, KAF400-B, and KAF400-C variants. This is the 11th Edition, March 15, 2012, P/N 99924-1349-11.

Searchable Text, Bookmarks and Wiring Detail

Search and diagram viewing: The main text is searchable, with embedded PDF bookmarks covering all 17 chapters and numerous individual procedures. Labels within the wiring-diagram images are not text-searchable; small component labels and wire-color codes require zooming.

One printable, 451-page PDF contains 10 front-matter pages, 440 chapter pages, and the closing model-application page. The total includes 10 blank pages.

Engine, Belt Drive and Chassis Service

Alongside the selected topics below, the manual covers seat-belt inspection and cargo-bed latch adjustment.

• Engine repair: Step-by-step instructions for engine removal, cylinder-head service, valve-seat repair, and internal inspection of the piston, crankshaft, camshaft, and balancer shaft.
• Fuel system: NIKKI 6C1026 carburetor disassembly and assembly, fuel-pump inspection, governor-linkage service, and throttle- and choke-cable adjustments.
• Converter service: Drive-belt replacement and deflection adjustment, drive- and driven-pulley disassembly, bushing inspection, and spider-shoe clearance adjustment.
• Transmission and final drive: Transmission-case disassembly, gear and shift-mechanism inspection, differential-lock service, and front LSD and bevel-gear work for the applicable variants.
• Hydraulic drum brakes: Master-cylinder service, wheel-cylinder inspection and replacement, brake-line air bleeding, drum-wear checks, and parking-brake adjustment.
• Suspension and steering: MacPherson strut removal and installation, swingarm-joint replacement, rack-and-pinion steering-gear preload adjustment, and front-wheel alignment.
• Electrical diagnosis: Separate wiring diagrams for KAF400-A/C and KAF400-B, charging and ignition tests, starter-relay checks, and starter-motor overhaul.

Written primarily for trained mechanics in a properly equipped shop, this manual also supports owners doing basic maintenance and repair who understand mechanical work, tools, and workshop procedures.

Fuel Settings and Internal Engine Work

Carburetor settings and idle-speed data sit alongside fuel-pump tests and model-specific evaporative-emissions layouts. High-altitude tables pair carburetor main jets with drive-pulley ramp weights, linking the fuel and converter settings for those operating conditions.

The carburetor-cleaning section warns that compressed air applied to an assembled carburetor can crush the float.

Internal inspection: Compression-diagnosis tables distinguish possible sealing and wear problems. Engine assembly coverage extends to camshaft timing marks, Automatic Compression Release inspection, piston-ring checks, and crankshaft and connecting-rod measurements.

The Engine Oil Flow Chart traces lubrication through the engine, while oil-pump and relief-valve sections provide inspection methods and wear limits. Component-specific torque and locking-agent tables accompany the assembly information.

Converter and Final-Drive Setup

Converter-cover instructions distinguish early and late configurations and the KAF400AD/BD arrangement. The engine and transmission installation sections identify Assembly Jig 57001-1631 for alignment work.

For the applicable front final drive, the manual goes beyond disassembly to LSD clutch-torque inspection, clutch-plate checks, shim selection, pinion preload, bevel-gear backlash, and tooth-contact assessment. Transmission Sectional Figures show the internal arrangements alongside the service text.

The pulley-installation warnings explain how oily tapered surfaces or impact-wrench tightening can lead to overtightening and damage to sheaves, fasteners, and converter components.

Chassis Inspection and Electrical Fault Tracing

Rack-and-pinion coverage centers on removal, installation, and preload adjustment; damaged steering-gear assemblies are replaced as units. Suspension inspection includes shock-absorber leaks and mounting-bushing condition, with damper replacement specified for oil leakage.

Electrical testing: Charging-system checks distinguish alternator-output problems from regulator/rectifier faults, with separate regulator tests for different model groups. The Electric Starter Circuit connects the brake and neutral interlocks with their relay tests, helping trace a starting fault before condemning the starter motor.

The Battery Charging Rate/Time Table and Cable, Wire, and Hose Routing drawings provide further workshop references. Together with the specifications and schematics, these support routine inspections and the planning of drivetrain repairs.

A Preview of Valve and Belt Inspection Data

Cold valve clearance is specified at 0.10–0.15 mm. Cylinder-head installation data gives a head-bolt torque of 37 N·m together with the required tightening sequence.

Converter inspection tables distinguish the standard drive-belt width of 26.1–27.3 mm from the 25.2 mm service limit, illustrating how the manual separates normal dimensions from replacement criteria.

Review the manual’s safety precautions and torque guidelines before brake service, converter work, or chassis adjustments.
