SAFE OPERATION
-1SAFE OPERATION
Careful operation is your best insurance against an
accident.
Read and understand this manual carefully before
operating the tractor.
All operators, no matter how much experience they may
have, should read this and other related manuals before
operating the tractor or any implement attached to it. It is
the owner's obligation to instruct all operators in safe
operation.
1. BEFORE OPERATING THE TRACTOR
1. Know your equipment and its limitations. Read this
entire manual before attempting to start and operate
the tractor.
2. Pay special attention to the danger, warning and
caution labels on the tractor.
3. Do not operate the tractor or any implement attached
to it while under the influence of alcohol, medication,
controlled substances or while fatigued.
4. Before allowing other people to use your tractor,
explain how to operate and have them read this
manual before operation.
5. Never wear loose, torn, or bulky clothing around
tractor. It may catch on moving parts or controls,
leading to the risk of an accident. Use additional safety
items, e.g. hard hat, safety boots or shoes, eye and
hearing protection, gloves, etc., as appropriate or
required.
6. Do not allow passengers to ride on any part of the
tractor at anytime. The operator must remain in the
tractor seat during operation.
7. Check brakes, clutch, linkage pins and other
mechanical parts for improper adjustment and wear.
Replace worn or damaged parts promptly. Check the
tightness of all nuts and bolts regularly. (For further
details, see "MAINTENANCE" section.)
8. Keep your tractor clean. Dirt, grease, and trash build
up may contribute to fires and lead to personal injury.
9. Use only implements meeting the specifications listed
under "IMPLEMENT LIMITATIONS" in this manual or
implements approved by KUBOTA.
10.Use proper weights on the front or rear of the tractor to
reduce the risk of upsets. When using the front loader,
put an implement or ballast on the 3-point hitch to
improve stability. Follow the safe operating
procedures specified in the implement or attachment
manual.
11. The narrower the tread, the greater the risk of a tractor
upset. For maximum stability, adjust the wheels to the
widest practical tread width for your application. (See
"TIRES, WHEELS AND BALLAST" section.)
(1) Rear wheels(A) Tread Width
12.Do not modify the tractor. Unauthorized modification
may affect the function of the tractor, which may result
in personal injury.
C CAB, ROPS
1. KUBOTA recommends the use of a CAB or Roll Over
Protective Structures (ROPS) and seat belt in almost
all applications. This combination will reduce the risk
of serious injury or death, should the tractor be upset.
Check for overhead clearance which may interfere
with a CAB or ROPS.
2. Set parking brake and stop engine. Remove any
obstruction that may prevent raising or folding of the
ROPS. Do not allow any bystanders. Always perform
function from a stable position at the rear of the tractor.
Hold the top of the ROPS securely when raising or
folding. Make sure all pins are installed and locked.
3. If the CAB or ROPS is loosened or removed for any
reason, make sure that all parts are reinstalled
correctly before operating the tractor.
4. Never modify or repair any structural member of a
CAB or ROPS because welding, bending, drilling,
grinding, or cutting may weaken the structure.
5. If any structural member of the CAB or ROPS is
damaged, replace the entire structure at your local
KUBOTA Dealer.
6. If the tractor is equipped with a foldable ROPS it may
be temporarily folded down only when absolutely
necessary for areas with height constraints.
(There is no operator protection provided by the ROPS
in the folded position. For operator safety the ROPS
should be placed in the upright and locked position
and the seat belt fastened for all other operations.)
SAFE OPERATION-2
7. Always use the seat belt if the tractor has a CAB or
ROPS.
Do not use the seat belt if a foldable ROPS is down or
there is no ROPS. Check the seat belt regularly and
replace if frayed or damaged.
(1) ROPS
(2) Seat belt
2. OPERATING THE TRACTOR
Operator safety is a priority. Safe operation, specifically
with respect to overturning hazards, entails understanding
the equipment and environmental conditions at the time of
use. Some prohibited uses which can affect overturning
hazards include traveling and turning with implements
and loads carried too high etc. This manual sets forth
some of the obvious risks, but the list is not, and cannot
be, exhaustive. It is the operator's responsibility to be alert
for any equipment or environmental condition that could
compromise safe operation.
C Starting
1. Always sit in the operator's seat when starting engine
or operating levers or controls. Adjust seat per
instructions in the operating the tractor section. Never
start engine while standing on the ground.
2. Before starting the engine, make sure that all levers
(including auxiliary control levers) are in their neutral
positions, that the parking brake is engaged, and that
both the clutch and the Power Take-Off (PTO) are
disengaged or "OFF".
Fasten the seat belt if the tractor has a CAB or a
foldable ROPS in the upright and locked position.
3. Do not start engine by shorting across starter
terminals or bypassing the safety start switch.
Machine may start in gear and move if normal starting
circuitry is bypassed.
4. Do not operate or idle engine in a non-ventilated area.
Carbon monoxide gas is colorless, odorless, and
deadly.
5. Check before each use that operator presence
controls are functioning correctly. Test safety systems.
(See "Checking Engine Start System" in "EVERY 50
HOURS" in "PERIODIC SERVICE" section.)
Do not operate unless they are functioning correctly.
C Working
1. Pull only from the drawbar. Never hitch to axle housing
or any other point except drawbar; such arrangements
will increase the risk of serious personal injury or death
due to a tractor upset.
(1) Drawbar
2. For trailing PTO-driven implements, set the drawbar to
the towing position.
3. Attach pulled or towed loads to the drawbar only.
4. Keep all shields and guards in place. Replace any that
are missing or damaged.
5. Avoid sudden starts. To avoid upsets, slow down
when turning, on uneven ground, and before stopping.
6. The tractor cannot turn with the differential locked and
attempting to do so could be dangerous.
7. Do not operate near ditches, holes, embankments, or
other ground surface features which may collapse
under the tractor's weight. The risk of tractor upset is
even higher when the ground is loose or wet. Tall
grass can hide obstacles, walk the area first to be sure.
8. Watch where you are going at all times. Watch for and
avoid obstacles. Be alert at row ends, near trees, and
other obstructions.
9. When working in groups, always let the others know
what you are going to do before you do it.
10.Never try to get on or off a moving tractor.
11.Always sit in the operator's seat when operating levers
or controls.
12.Do not stand between tractor and implement or trailed
vehicle unless parking brake is applied.
C Safety for children
Tragedy can occur if the operator is not alert to the
presence of children. Children generally are attracted to
machines and the work they do.
1. Never assume that children will remain where you last
saw them.
2. Keep children out of the work area and under the
watchful eye of another responsible adult.
3. Be alert and shut your machine down if children enter
the work area.
4. Never carry children on your machine. There is no safe
place for them to ride. They may fall off and be run
over or interfere with your control of the machine.
5. Never allow children to operate the machine even
under adult supervision.
6. Never allow children to play on the machine or on the
implement.
7. Use extra caution when backing up. Look behind and
down to make sure area is clear before moving.
C Operating on slopes
Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and tipover accidents, which can result in severe injury or death.
All slopes require extra caution.
1. To avoid upsets, always back up steep slopes. If you
cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do
not operate on it. Stay off slopes too steep for safe
operation.
2. Driving forward out of a ditch, mired condition or up a
steep slope increases the risk of a tractor to be upset
backward. Always back out of these situations. Extra
caution is required with 4-wheel drive models because
their increased traction can give the operator false
confidence in the tractor's ability to climb slopes.
3. Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual. Do
not make sudden changes in speed, direction or apply
brake and make sudden motions of the steering
wheel.
4. Avoid disengaging the clutch or changing gears speed
when climbing or going down a slope. If on a slope
disengaging the clutch or changing gears to neutral
could cause loss of control.
5. Special attention should be made to the weight and
location of implements and loads as such will affect the
stability of the tractor.
6. To improve stability on slope, set widest wheel tread
as shown in "TIRES, WHEELS AND BALLAST"
section.
Follow recommendations for proper ballasting.
C Driving the tractor on the road
1. Lock the 2 brake pedals together to help assure
straight-line stops. Uneven braking at road speeds
could cause the tractor to tip over.
2. Check the front wheel engagement. The braking
characteristics are different between 2 and 4-wheel
drive. Be aware of the difference and use carefully.
3. Always slow the tractor down before turning. Turning
at high speed may tip the tractor over.
4. Make sure that the Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) sign is
clean and visible. Use hazard lights and turn signals as
required.
(1) SMV emblem
(2) Bracket
5. Observe all local traffic and safety regulations.
6. Turn the headlights on. Dim them when meeting
another vehicle.
7. Drive at speeds that allow you to maintain control at all
times.
8. Do not apply the differential lock while traveling at road
speeds. The tractor may run out of control.
9. Avoid sudden motions of the steering wheel as they
can lead to a dangerous loss of stability. The risk is
especially great when the tractor is traveling at road
speeds.
SAFE OPERATION-4
10.Keep the ROPS in the "UP" position and wear the seat
belt when driving the tractor on the road.
Otherwise, you will not be protected in the event of a
tractor roll-over.
11.Do not operate an implement while the tractor is on the
road. Lock the 3-point hitch in the raised position.
12.When towing other equipment, use a safety chain and
place an SMV emblem on it as well.
(1) Safety chain
13.Set the implement lowering speed knob in the "LOCK"
position to hold the implement in the raised position.
3. Avoid parking on steep slopes, if at all possible park on
a firm and level surface; if not, park across a slope and
chock the wheels.
Failure to comply with this warning may allow the
tractor to move and could cause injury or death.
4. OPERATING THE PTO
1. Wait until all moving components have completely
stopped before getting off the tractor, connecting,
disconnecting, adjusting, cleaning, or servicing any
PTO driven equipment.
2. Keep the PTO shaft cover in place at all times.
Replace the PTO shaft cap when the shaft is not in
use.
(1) 3-point hitch lowering speed knob(A) "FAST"
(B) "SLOW"
(C) "LOCK"
3. PARKING THE TRACTOR
1. Disengage the PTO, lower all implements to the
ground, place all control levers in their neutral
positions, set the parking brake, stop the engine,
remove the key from the ignition and lock the cab door
(if equipped). Leaving transmission in gear with the
engine stopped will not prevent tractor from rolling.
2. Make sure that the tractor has come to a complete
stop before dismounting.
(1) PTO Shaft cover
(2) PTO Shaft cap
(A) "NORMAL POSITION"
(B) "RAISED POSITION"
3. Before installing or using PTO driven equipment, read
the manufacturer's manual and review the safety
labels attached to the equipment.
4. When operating stationary PTO driven equipment,
always apply the tractor parking brake and place
chocks behind and in front of the rear wheels. Stay
clear of all rotating parts. Never step over rotating
parts.
5. USING 3-POINT HITCH
1. Use the 3-point hitch only with equipment designed for
3-point hitch usage.
2. When using a 3-point hitch mounted implement, be
sure to install the proper counterbalance weight on the
front of the tractor.
3. When transporting on the road, set the implement
lowering speed knob in the "LOCK" position to hold the
implement in the raised position.
(1) 3-point hitch lowering speed knob(A) "FAST"
(B) "SLOW"
(C) "LOCK"
6. SERVICING THE TRACTOR
Before servicing the tractor, park it on a firm, flat and level
surface, set the parking brake, lower all implements to the
ground, place the gear shift lever in neutral, stop the
engine and remove the key.
1. Allow the tractor time to cool off before working on or
near the engine, muffler, radiator, etc.
2. Do not remove radiator cap while coolant is hot. When
cool, slowly rotate cap to the first stop and allow
sufficient time for excess pressure to escape before
removing the cap completely. If the tractor has a
coolant recovery tank, add coolant or water to the tank,
not the radiator. (See "Checking Coolant Level" in
"DAILY CHECK" in "PERIODIC SERVICE" section.)
3. Always stop the engine before refueling. Avoid spills
and overfilling.
4. Do not smoke when working around battery or when
refueling. Keep all sparks and flames away from
battery and fuel tank. The battery presents an
explosive hazard, because it gives off hydrogen and
oxygen especially when recharging.
5. Before "jump starting" a dead battery, read and follow
all of the instructions. (See "JUMP STARTING" in
"OPERATING THE ENGINE" section.)
6. Keep first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy at all
times.
7. Disconnect the battery's ground cable before working
on or near electric components.
8. To avoid the possibility of battery explosion, do not use
or charge the refillable type battery if the fluid level is
below the LOWER ( lower limit level ) mark. Check the
fluid level regularly and add distilled water as required
so that the fluid level is between the UPPER and
LOWER levels.
-5SAFE OPERATION
9. To avoid sparks from an accidental short circuit,
always disconnect the battery's ground cable (-) first
and reconnect it last.
(1) Battery
10.Do not attempt to mount a tire on a rim. This should be
done by a qualified person with the proper equipment.
11.Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not
inflate tires above the recommended pressure shown
in the operator's manual.
12.Securely support the tractor when either changing
wheels or adjusting the wheel tread width.
13.Make sure that wheel bolts have been tightened to the
specified torque.
14.Do not work under any hydraulically supported
devices. They can settle, suddenly leak down, or be
accidentally lowered. If it is necessary to work under
tractor or any machine elements for servicing or
adjustment, securely support them with stands or
suitable blocking beforehand.
SAFE OPERATION-6
15.Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure has sufficient
force to penetrate skin, causing serious personal
injury. Before disconnecting hydraulic lines, be sure to
release all residual pressure. Before applying
pressure to the hydraulic system, make sure that all
connections are tight and that all lines, pipes, and
hoses are free of damage.
16.Fluid escaping from pinholes may be invisible. Do not
use hands to search for suspected leaks; use a piece
of cardboard or wood. Use of safety goggles or other
eye protection is also highly recommended. If injured
by escaping fluid, see a medical doctor at once. This
fluid will produce gangrene or severe allergic reaction.
17.Do not open high-pressure fuel system.
High-pressure fluid remaining in fuel lines can cause
serious injury. Do not disconnect nor attempt to repair
fuel lines, sensors, or any other components between
the high-pressure fuel pump and injectors on engines
with high pressure common rail fuel system.
18.To avoid hazardous high voltage, turn the key switch
to the OFF position if it is necessary to check to repair
the computer, harness or connectors.
19.During Diesel Particulate Filter (hereinafter called
DPF) regenerating operations, exhaust gases and
exhaust filter components reach temperatures hot
enough to burn people, or ignite or melt common
materials.
20.Keep the tractor away from people, animals or
structures which may be susceptible to harm or
damage from hot exhaust gases.
21.To prevent fires, keep the DPF muffler and its
surroundings clear of anything flammable and keep
clean at all times.
22.During regeneration, white exhaust gas may be
visible. Do not allow regeneration in a non-ventilated
space.
23.During regeneration, do not leave the tractor.

BDiesel Oxidation Catalyst and Diesel
To avoid personal injury or death:
A Read "Safe Operation" in the front of this manual.
A Read the danger, warning and caution labels
located on the tractor.
A To avoid the danger of exhaust fume poisoning,
do not operate the engine in a closed building
without proper ventilation.
A Never start engine while standing on ground. Start
engine only from operator's seat.
A Make it a rule to set all shift levers to the
"NEUTRAL" positions and to place the PTO lever
in "OFF" position before starting the engine.
A Do not use starting fluid or ether.
A To protect the battery and the starter, make sure that
the starter is not continuously turned for more than 30
seconds.
Particulate Filter (DPF) Muffler
The Diesel Oxidation Catalyst and Diesel Particular Filter
(Hereinafter called DPF) serves to reduce hydrocarbons,
carbon monoxide and other toxic gases, all of which are
contained in diesel engine emissions, to harmless carbon
dioxide and water. The DPF also traps Particulate Matter
(PM).
To meet the emission regulations in your country, the DPF
is installed on your tractor.
Be sure to read this operator's manual before running in
your tractor.
It is imperative for the tractor owner and operator to
handle the DPF in a safe and environmentally responsible
manner.
EXHAUST AFTERTREATMENT DEVICES
[B3350/B3350SU only]
To avoid personal injury or death:
A During Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
regenerating operations, exhaust gases and
exhaust filter components reach temperatures
hot enough to burn people, or ignite or melt
common materials.
A Keep tractor away from people, animals or
structures which may be susceptible to harm
or damage from hot exhaust gases.
A During regeneration, white exhaust gases may
be visible. Do not allow regeneration in a non
ventilated garage or confined area.
A During regeneration, do not leave the tractor.
(1) Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
BHandling Points
When a specific amount of PM (particulate matter) has
accumulated in the DPF muffler, it is necessary to refresh
the DPF muffler by burning the PM inside it. This burning
off work is called "Regeneration".
To extend operating time to reach this regeneration, and
to avoid DPF muffler trouble, make sure to observe the
following handling matters.
C Fuel
Be sure to use Ultra Low Sulfur Fuel (S15).
A Use of diesel fuel other than Ultra Low Sulfur Fuel may
adversely affect the engine and DPF performance.
Use of fuels other than Ultra Low Sulfur Fuel (S15)
may not meet regulations for your region.
C Engine oil
Use DPF-compatible oil (CJ-4) for the engine.
13OPERATING THE ENGINE
BDPF Regeneration Process
DPF regeneration process can be performed by choosing
from "Auto Regeneration" or "Regeneration inhibit" mode
according to your job conditions. For jobs not affected by
hot gases emitted during regeneration, the "Auto
Regeneration" is advisable.
C Auto Regeneration Mode;
When starting the engine (switch operation is
unnecessary), the "Auto Regeneration" mode is
automatically activated.
With the auto regeneration mode on, when a specific
amount of PM has accumulated, and the regeneration
conditions are satisfied (See the "Tips on Diesel
Particulate Filter [DPF] Regeneration"), the DPF will be
automatically regenerated whether the tractor is in
motion or parked.
By this way, work efficiency is improved. For details of
auto regeneration, refer to "Operating Procedure for
Auto Regeneration Mode" section.
A If any engine oil other than CJ-4 is used, the DPF may
become clogged earlier than expected and the fuel
economy may drop.
C Prohibition of unnecessary idling operation
Generally, the lower the engine speed is, the lower the
exhaust gas temperature is, so the PM contained in
exhaust gas will not be burnt, and begins to accumulate.
Therefore, don't idle unnecessarily.
C Regeneration
When there is "Regeneration" instruction sign by lamp or
buzzer, immediately perform the required procedure for
regeneration.
A Interrupting the regeneration cycle or continued
operation by ignoring the warning signs may cause
DPF and engine damage.
A Operation with clogged air cleaner may cause
regeneration failure and DPF damage.
C Regeneration Inhibit Mode;
After starting the engine, if the "DPF INHIBIT switch" is
pressed to turn on the switch lamp, the "Regeneration
inhibit" mode will be activated.
With "Regeneration Inhibit" mode on, the PM which has
accumulated inside the DPF will not be burnt, unless the
operator performs the regeneration work manually.
The "Regeneration Inhibit" mode is effective for work in
poorly ventilated work spaces.
For details of regeneration prohibition, refer to
"Operating Procedure for Regeneration Inhibit Mode"
section.
A If stop the engine once, the "Auto Regeneration" mode
1. Start the engine.
(Make sure that the DPF INHIBIT switch lamp is "OFF".)
Switch lamp OFF: Auto Regeneration Mode activated.
Switch lamp ON: Regeneration Inhibit Mode activated.
A When the engine is started, the "Auto Regeneration" mode is automatically activated.
A "Regeneration Inhibit" mode is activated, when the DPF INHIBIT switch is pushed after the engine is started.
2.When a specific amount of PM has built up in the DPF, the regeneration indicator turns "ON".
Continue to operate the tractor, and the regeneration process will begin automatically, make sure you are
working in a safe area as DPF and exhaust temperature will rise.
When the regeneration cycle has completed, the regeneration indicator turns "OFF".
IMPORTANT:
A When ambient temperature is so low or when working with such extraordinary use of electricity that the
regeneration conditions are not satisfied, the regeneration indicator starts flashing.
If the regeneration indicator turns "ON" for a while and then starts flashing, keep on working and rev
up the engine to the maximum rpm so that the regeneration indicator stops flashing and remains "ON".

period, keep the hand throttle lever at the idle position. Do not move it. It will function again in 30 seconds.
21OPERATING THE ENGINE
BTips on DPF Regeneration
A Operation
The higher in speed or load the engine operates, the
higher the exhaust temperature rises. As a result,
particulate matter (PM) inside the DPF is consumed,
therefore the regeneration process occurs less
frequently over time.
The lower in speed or load the engine operates, the
lower the exhaust temperature. Accordingly, less
particulate matter (PM) inside the DPF is consumed,
therefore more accumulation of PM will occur, which
requires frequent regeneration, therefore avoid
prolonged idling if possible.
A Necessary conditions for "Regeneration"
If even one condition is deviated, after starting
regeneration, the regeneration will be interrupted.
(1) The engine coolant temperature
(2) The DPF temperature
(3) The battery voltage during regeneration
A Usually it takes 25-35 minutes to complete the
regeneration cycle.
Actual regeneration time may depend on ambient
temperature, exhaust temperature and engine speed.
STARTING THE ENGINE
1.Make sure the parking brake is set.
1. To set the parking brake:
(1) Interlock the brake pedals.
(2) Depress the brake pedals.
(3) Latch the brake pedals with the parking brake
lever.
A When the parking brake is set while the key switch is
"ON", the parking brake warning indicator light on the
Easy Checker (TM) will turn on.
2. To release the parking brake, depress the brake
pedals again.
A It is recommended to do the regenerating while the
engine is warm and at high revolution.
A Do not unnecessarily start and interrupt the
regeneration process. Otherwise, a small amount of
fuel becomes smoke.
A Just after the regeneration has ended, the DPF muffler
remains hot. It is advisable to keep the engine running
for about 5 minutes to allow cooling of the exhaust
components.
(1) Parking brake lever(A) Interlock the brake pedals
A It is recommended that the operator practice engaging
and disengaging the parking brake on a flat surface
without the engine running before operating the tractor
for the first time.

25OPERATING THE ENGINE
STOPPING THE ENGINE
[B2650]
1. After slowing the engine to idle, turn the
key to "OFF".
2. Remove the key.
[B3350/B3350SU]
1. After slowing the engine to idle, wait 3
to 5 minutes for turbo to slow down
then turn the key to "OFF".
2. Remove the key.
A If key does not stop the engine, consult your local
KUBOTA Dealer.
WARMING UP
To avoid personal injury or death:
A Be sure to set the parking brake during warm-
up.
A Be sure to set all shift levers to the "NEUTRAL"
positions and to place the PTO clutch lever in
the "OFF" position during warm-up.
For 5 minutes after engine start-up, allow the engine to
warm up without applying any load, this is to allow oil to
reach every engine part. If load should be applied to the
engine without this warm-up period, trouble such as
seizure, breakage or premature wear may develop.
BWarm-up Transmission Oil at Low
Ambient Temperatures
Hydraulic oil serves as transmission fluid. In cold weather,
the oil will be cold, which will increase oil viscosity. This
can cause delayed oil circulation or abnormally low
hydraulic pressure for some time after engine start-up.
This in turn can result in trouble in the hydraulic system.
To prevent the above, observe the following instructions:
Warm up the engine at about 50% of rated rpm according
to the table below:
Ambient temperatureWarm-up time requirement
Above 0 C (32 F)At least 5 minutes
0 to -10 C (32 to 14 F)5 to 10 minutes
-10 to -20 C (14 to -4 F)10 to 15 minutes
Below -20 C (-4 F)More than 15 minutes
A Do not operate the tractor under full load condition until
it is sufficiently warmed up.
OPERATING THE ENGINE26
JUMP STARTING
To avoid personal injury or death:
A Battery gases can explode. Keep cigarettes,
sparks, and flames away from battery.
A If tractor battery is frozen, do not jump start
engine.
A Do not connect the other end of the negative
(-) jumper cable to the negative (-) terminal of
the tractor battery.
When jump starting the engine, follow the instructions
below to safely start the engine.
1. Bring the helper vehicle with a battery of the same
voltage as disabled tractor within easy cable reach.
"THE VEHICLES MUST NOT TOUCH".
2. Engage the parking brakes of both vehicles and put
the shift levers in neutral. Shut both engines off.
3. Wear eye protection and rubber gloves.
4. Attach the red clamp to the positive (red, (+) or pos.)
terminal of the dead battery and clamp the other end
of the same cable to the positive (red, (+) or pos.)
terminal of the helper battery.
5. Clamp the other cable to the negative (black, (-) or
neg.) terminal of the helper battery.
6. Clamp the other end to the engine block or frame of
the disabled tractor as far from the dead battery as
possible.
7. Start the helper vehicle and let its engine run for a few
moments. Start the disabled tractor.
8. Disconnect the jumper cables in the exact reverse
order of attachment. (Steps 6, 5 and 4)
A Use only same voltage for jump starting.
A Use of a higher voltage source on tractors electrical
system could result in severe damage to tractor's
electrical system.
Use only matching voltage source when "Jump
starting" a low or dead battery condition.

OPERATING THE TRACTOR
27OPERATING THE TRACTOR
OPERATING NEW TRACTOR
How a new tractor is handled and maintained determines
the life of the tractor.
A new tractor just off the factory production line has been,
of course, tested, but the various parts are not
accustomed to each other, so care should be taken to
operate the tractor for the first 50 hours at a slower speed
and avoid excessive work or operation until the various
parts become "broken-in." The manner in which the
tractor is handled during the "breaking-in." period greatly
affects the life of your tractor. Therefore, to obtain the
maximum performance and the longest life of the tractor,
it is very important to properly break-in your tractor. In
handling a new tractor, the following precautions should
be observed.
BDo not Operate the Tractor at Full Speed
for the First 50 Hours
A Do not start quickly nor apply the brakes suddenly.
A In winter, operate the tractor after fully warming up the
engine.
A Do not run the engine at speeds faster than
necessary.
A On rough roads, slow down to suitable speeds.
Do not operate the tractor at fast speed.
The above precautions are not limited only to new
tractors, but to all tractors. But it should be especially
observed in the case of new tractors.
OPERATING FOLDABLE ROPS
To avoid personal injury or death:
A When raising or folding the ROPS, apply
parking brake, stop the engine and remove the
key.
Always perform function from a stable position
at the rear of tractor.
A Fold the ROPS down only when absolutely
necessary and fold it up and lock it again as
soon as possible.
A Before proceeding to fold ROPS, check for any
possible interference with installed
implements and attachments.
If interference occurs, contact your KUBOTA
Dealer.
BTo Fold the ROPS
1. Remove both set bolts, maintain a hold on the ROPS.
BChanging Lubricating Oil for New Tractors
The lubricating oil is especially important in the case of a
new tractor. The various parts are not "broken-in" and are
not accustomed to each other; small metal grit may
develop during the operation of the tractor; and this may
wear out or damage the parts. Therefore, care should be
taken to change the lubricating oil a little earlier than
would ordinarily be required.
For further details of change interval hours, see
"MAINTENANCE" section.

mounted implement attached, be sure to have
sufficient front weight on the tractor to
maintain steering ability. (See "BALLAST"
section.)
A Towed equipment (without brake) must not
exceed 1.5 times the tractor weight when
traveling on roads or at high speeds.
Be sure SMV emblem and hazard light are clean and
visible. If towed or rear-mounted equipment obstructs
these safety devices, install SMV emblem and hazard
light on equipment.
Consult your local KUBOTA dealer for further detail.
BOperating on Slopes or Rough Terrain

A Do not work under any hydraulically supported
devices. They can settle, suddenly leak down,
or be accidentally lowered. If necessary to work
under tractor or any machine elements for
servicing or adjustment, securely support them
with stands or suitable blocking beforehand.
A Never operate tractor with a loose rim, wheel,
or axle.
BFront Wheels
Front tread width can not be adjusted.
A Do not turn front discs to obtain wider tread.
In setting up the front wheels, make sure that the
inflation valve stem of the tires face outward.
A When re-fitting or adjusting a wheel, tighten the bolts
to the following torques then recheck after driving the
tractor 200 m (200 yards) and 10 times of shuttle
movement by 5 m (5 yards), and thereafter according
to service interval. (See "MAINTENANCE" section.)
To avoid personal injury or death:

BALLAST
To avoid personal injury or death:
A Additional ballast will be needed for
transporting heavy implements. When the
implement is raised, drive slowly over rough
ground, regardless of how much ballast is
used.
A Do not fill the front wheels with liquid.
BFront Ballast
Add weights if needed for stability and improving traction.
Heavy pulling and heavy rear mounted implements tend
to lift front wheels. Add enough ballast to maintain
steering control and prevent tip over.
Remove weight when no longer needed.
C Front End Weights (option)
The front end weights can be attached to the bumper.
See your implement operator's manual for required
number of weights or consult your local KUBOTA Dealer
to use.
[For installation of up to 3 weights]
A Besides the weight, mounting bolt kit(s) are required
for mounting the weight.
[For installation of up to 5 weights]
A Besides the weight, a front weight bracket and
mounting bolt kit(s) are required for mounting the
weight.
BRear Ballast
Add weight to rear wheels if needed to improve traction or
for stability. The amount of rear ballast should be matched
to job and the ballast should be removed when it is not
needed.
The weight should be added to the tractor in the form of
liquid ballast.
C Liquid Ballast in Rear Tires
Water and calcium chloride solution provides safe
economical ballast. Used properly, it will not damage tires,
tubes or rims. The addition of calcium chloride is
recommended to prevent the water from freezing. Use of
this method of weighting the wheels has the full approval
of the tire companies. See your tire dealer for this service.

C Battery Charging
Specific gravity of electrolyte and quality of
electrolyte are both in good condition.
The factory-installed battery is of non-refillable
type. If the indicator turns white, do not charge the
battery but replace it with new one.
Mishandling the battery shortens the service life and adds
to maintenance costs.
The original battery is maintenance free, but needs some
servicing.
If the battery is weak, the engine will be difficult to start
and the lights will be dim. It is important to check the
battery periodically.
To avoid personal injury or death:
A When the battery is being activated, hydrogen
and oxygen gases in the battery are extremely
explosive. Keep open sparks and flames away
from the battery at all times, especially when
charging the battery.
A When charging the battery, ensure the vent
caps are securely in place (if equipped).
A When disconnecting the cable from the battery,
start with the negative terminal first.
When connecting the cable to the battery, start
with the positive terminal first.
A Never check battery charge by placing a metal
object across the posts.
Use a voltmeter or hydrometer.
(1) Battery
1. To slow charge the battery, connect the battery
positive terminal to the charger positive terminal and
the negative to the negative, then recharge in the
standard fashion.
2. A boost charge is only for emergencies. It will partially
charge the battery at a high rate and in a short time.
When using a boost-charged battery, it is necessary to

BAnti-Freeze
To avoid personal injury or death:
A When using antifreeze, put on some protection
such as rubber gloves. (Antifreeze contains
poison.)
A If it is swallowed, seek immediate medical help.
Do NOT make a person throw up unless told to
do so by poison control or a health care
professional. Use standard first aid and CPR
for signs of shock or cardiac arrest. Call your
local Poison Control Center or your local
emergency number for further assistance.
A When antifreeze comes in contact with the skin
or clothing, wash it off immediately.
A Do not mix different types of Antifreeze.
The mixture can produce chemical reaction
causing harmful substances.
A Antifreeze is extremely flammable and
explosive under certain conditions. Keep fire
and children away from antifreeze.
A When draining fluids from the engine, place
some container underneath the engine body.
A Do not pour waste onto the ground, down a
drain, or into any water source.
A Also, observe the relevant environmental
protection regulations when disposing of
antifreeze.
Always use a 50/50 mix of long-life coolant and clean soft
water in KUBOTA engines.
Consult your local KUBOTA Dealer concerning coolant for
extreme conditions.
1. Long-life coolant (hereafter LLC) comes in several
types. Use ethylene glycol (EG) type for this engine.
2. Before employing LLC-mixed cooling water, fill the
radiator with fresh water and empty it again.
Repeat this procedure 2 or 3 times to clean up the
inside.
3. Mixing the LLC
Premix 50% LLC with 50% clean soft water. When
mixing, stir it up well, and then fill into the radiator.
4. The procedure for the mixing of water and antifreeze
differs according to the make of the antifreeze and the
ambient temperature. Refer to SAE J1034 standard,
more specifically also to SAE J814c.
5. Adding the LLC
(1) Add only water if the mixture reduces in amount
by evaporation.
(2) If there is a mixture leak, add the LLC of the same
manufacturer and type in the same mixture
percentage.
D Never add any long-life coolant of different
manufacturer. (Different brands may have
different additive components, and the engine
may fail to perform as specified.)
6. When the LLC is mixed, do not employ any radiator
cleaning agent. The LLC contains anticorrosive agent.
If mixed with the cleaning agent, sludge may build up,
adversely affecting the engine parts.
7. Kubota's genuine long-life coolant has a service life of
2 years. Be sure to change the coolant every 2000
hours or every 2 years whichever comes faster.
A The above data represent industry standards that
necessitate a minimum glycol content in the
concentrated antifreeze.

BChecking Radiator Hoses and Clamps
To avoid personal injury or death:
A Be sure to stop the engine and remove the key
before checking radiator hose and clamp.
A Allow engine and coolant to cool down
sufficiently before checking.
Inspect every year; replace if any deterioration (crack,
hardening, scar, or deformation) or damage occurred.
1. If hose clamps are loose or water leaks, tighten bands
securely.
2. Replace hoses and tighten hose clamps securely, if
radiator hoses are swollen, hardened or cracked.
Replace hoses and hose clamps every 4 years or earlier
if checked and found that hoses are swollen, hardened or
cracked.
BChecking Intake Air Line
1. Check to see that hoses and hose clamps are tight and
not damaged.
2. If hoses and clamps are found worn or damaged,
replace or repair them at once.
Take the following actions in the event the coolant
temperature is nearly or more than the boiling point, what
is called "Overheating"
1. Park the tractor in a safe place and keep the engine
unloaded idling.
2. Don't stop the engine suddenly, but stop it after about
5 minutes of unloaded idling.
3. Keep yourself well away from the machine for further
10 minutes or while the steam blows out.
4. Check that there are no dangers such as burns. Get rid
of the causes of overheating according to the manual,
see "TROUBLESHOOTING" section, and then, start
again the engine.
