Only factory service data settles the injection pressures, belt deflections and torque converter checks on a diesel utility vehicle, and this 470-page Kawasaki KAF950-B1, B2, Mule 3010 Diesel service manual PDF (OEM 99924-1306-02) is where that data lives. Work on the torque converter, drive belt and drive pulley fills one of the longest chapters, and the electrical section ends with wiring diagrams tracing your starter, alternator and charging circuits. An appendix troubleshooting guide matches symptoms to causes, and cable, wire and hose routing drawings cover reassembly. Refill with 3.3 L (3.5 US qt) of engine oil when the filter comes off, and set the injection nozzles to open at 1920 to 2062 psi. Guessing costs an injection pump and a second teardown. The pages are bookmarked and text-searchable and take you from symptom to diagnosis, so the part you order is the one that actually failed.

Kawasaki KAF950-B1, KAF950-B2, MULE 3010 DIESEL Common Problems This Manual Covers
Kawasaki Mule 3010 Diesel KAF950 fuel injection pump or nozzle fault with hard starting and unstable idling
Test each fuel injection nozzle against the injection pressure spec of 135 ~ 145 kgf/cm² (1920 ~ 2062 psi) before blaming the pump. Then follow the fuel injection pump troubleshooting on page 84 for hard starting, unstable idling and stalling. Work each listed cause in order instead of throwing parts at it.
Manual Section: Fuel Injection Pump Troubleshooting p. 84Fuel injection pump or throttle cable problem where the engine keeps racing or will not stop
Check the throttle pedal and cable adjustment first. Then follow the fuel injection pump troubleshooting on page 84 for racing and no stop conditions. After resetting idle or top speed, torque the idle adjusting screw locknut to 5.6 N·m (50 in·lb) and the maximum speed set screw locknut to 6.9 N·m (61 in·lb).
Manual Section: Fuel Injection Pump Troubleshooting p. 84Cooling system radiator cap, thermostat or fan belt problem with the engine overheating
Pressure test the radiator cap following page 106. It should relieve between 93 ~ 123 kPa (14 ~ 18 psi). Check that the thermostat valve opens at 81 ~ 84°C. Measure fan belt deflection against 9.5 ~ 11.5 mm/10 kgf, and verify the system takes the full 4.6 L coolant total listed on page 28.
Manual Section: Cooling System p. 106Preheating system glow plug, preheating timer or glow plug relay fault with engine starting difficulty
Measure glow plug resistance, then test preheating timer and glow plug relay operation using the preheating system inspection in the Electrical System section starting on page 393. Check battery electrolyte level and state of charge, and run a load test before you condemn the starter. If the battery passes, inspect starter carbon brush length and pinion gear operation.
Manual Section: Electrical System p. 393Torque converter drive belt running hot with gear shifting problems and abnormal noise
Inspect the drive belt, drive pulley and torque converter following the Converter System section on page 139. Check the converter and belt heating and gear shifting entries in the troubleshooting guide in the Appendix on page 447. Verify the transmission oil level, and if it was drained, refill to the 2.5 L capacity listed on page 28.
Manual Section: Converter System p. 139Frequently Asked Questions
What's the cylinder head bolt, axle nut and wheel nut torque for Kawasaki KAF950-B1, KAF950-B2, MULE 3010 DIESEL?
