DANGER

Mishandling the battery shortens the service life and

addsto maintenancecosts.

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. Itis important to check

the battery periodically.

Toavoid the possibility of battery explosion:

For the refillable type battery, follow the instructions below.

• Do not use or charge the refillable type battery if the fluid level is below the LOWER (lower limit level) mark. Otherwise, the battery component parts may prematurely deteriorate, which may shorten the battery's service life or cause an explosion. Check the fluid level regularly and add distilled water as required so that the fluid level is between the UPPER and LOWER levels.

CAUTION To avoid personal injury:

• Never remove the vent caps while the engine is running.

• Keep electrolyte away from eyes, hands and clothes. If you are spattered with it, wash it away completely with water

immediately and get medical attention.

• Wear eye protection and rubber gloves when working around the battery.

• How to readthe indicator (65D23L,75D23L) Checkthe battery condition by reading the indicator

CAUTION To avoid personal injury:

• 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.

• When charging the battery, ensure the vent caps are securely in place. (if equipped)

• 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.

• Nevercheck battery charge by placing a metal object acrossthe posts. Usea voltmeter or hydrometer.

Maintenance

The water in the electrolyte evaporates during recharging. Liquid shortage damages the battery. Excessive liquid spills over and damages the tractor body.

3. 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.

4. 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 recharge the battery as early as possible.

Failure to do this will shorten the battery's

service life.

5. When the specific gravity of electrolyte is between

1.27and 1.29the charging is completed.

not start engine without coolant.

• Use clean, fresh water and anti-freeze to fill the radiator and recovery tank.

• When the anti-freeze is mixed with water, the anti- freeze mixing ratio must be less than 50%.

• Securely tighten radiator cap. If the cap is loose or

improperly fitted, water may leak out and the

engine could overheat.

• Anti-Freeze

If cooling water freezes, it can damage the cylinders

and radiator. It is necessary, if the ambient temperature falls below O°C(32°F),to remove cooling water after operating or to add anti-freeze to it.

1. There are two types of anti-freeze available; use the permanent type (PT)for this engine.

2. Before adding anti-freeze for the first time, clean the radiator interior by pouring fresh water and

draining it afew times.

3. The procedure for mixing of water and anti-freeze

differs according to the make of the anti-freezeand the ambient temperature, basically it should be referred to SAEJ1034standard, more specifically also to SAEJ814c.

4. Mix the anti-freeze with water, and then fill the

• Bleeding Fuel System

Air must be removed:

1. When the fuel filter or lines are removed.

2. When tank is completely empty.

3. After the tractor has not been used for a long period of time.

• Bleeding procedure is as follows:

1. Fill the fuel tank with fuel.

At 760mmHg pressure (atmospheric). A higher boiling point is obtained by using a radiator pressure cap which permits the development of pressure within the cooling system.

NOTE:

• Theabove data represents industry standards that necessitate a minimum glycol content in the concentrated anti-freeze.

• When the cooling water level drops due to evaporation, add water only. In case of leakage, add anti-freeze and water in the specified mixing

ratio.

• Anti-freeze absorbs moisture. Keep unused anti- freeze in atightly sealed container.

• 00

not use radiator cleaning agents when anti- freeze has been added to the cooling water. (Anti- freezecontains an anti-corrosive agent, which will

react with the radiator cleaning agent forming sludge which will affect the engine parts.)

(1) Fuel pump (2) Fuel filter

2. Turn the key switch to "ON" position for about 30 seconds. Doing so allows fuel pump to work and pump air out of the fuel system.

3. Start the engine and run for about 30 seconds, and then stop the engine.

closed building without proper

ventilation.

• When storing, remove the key from the key switch to avoid unauthorized persons from operating the tractor and getting injured.

TRACTOR STORAGE

If you intend to store your tractor for an extended period of time, follow the procedures outlined below. Theseprocedures will insure that the tractor is ready to operate with minimum preparation when it is removed from storage.

1. Check the bolts and nuts for looseness, and tighten if necessary.

2. Apply grease to tractor areas where bare metal will rust also to pivot areas.

3. Detachthe weights from the tractor body.

4. Inflate the tires to a pressure a little higher than

usual.

5. Change the engine oil and run the engine to

circulate oil throughout the engine block and internal moving parts for about five minutes.

6. With all implements lowered to the ground, coat

any exposed hydraulic cylinder piston rods with grease.

7. Remove the battery from the tractor. Store the battery following the battery storage procedures.

(See "Battery condition" in every 100 hours in

• Directions for Use of Power Steering

1. Power steering is activated only while the engine is running. While the engine is stopped, the tractor

functions in the same manner as tractors without

power steering.

2. When the steering wheel is turned all the way to

the stop, the relief valve is activated. Do not hold the steering wheel in this position for a long period of time.

3. Avoid turning the steering wheel while the tractor is stopped, or tires may wear out sooner.

4. The power steering mechanism makes the

6. Carefully check the vicinity before operating tractor or any implement attached to it. Checkfor overhead clearance which may interfere with a ROPS.Do not allow any bystanders around or neartractor during operation.

7. Before allowing other people to useyour tractor, explain how to operate and have them read this manual before operation.

8. Never wear loose,torn, or bulky clothing around tractor. It may catch on moving parts or controls, leading to the risk of accident. Use additional safety items, e.g. hard hat, safety boots or shoes, eye and hearing protection, gloves, etc., as appropriate or required.

9. Do not allow passengersto rideon any part of the tractor at anytime. The operator must remain in the tractor seatthroughout operation.

10.

Check brakes and other mechanical parts for improper adjustment and wear. Replaceworn or damaged parts promptly. Checkthe tightness of all nuts and bolts regularly. (For further details, seeMaintenance section.)

11.

Keep your tractor clean. Dirt, grease, and trash accumulations contribute to fires and lead to personal injury.

12.

Useonly implements meeting the specifications listed under IMPLEMENT LIMITATIONS in this manual and use only implements approved by KUBOTA.

13. Use proper weights to front or rear of tractor to reduce the risk of upsets. When using the front loader, put the implement or ballast on 3-point hitch to improve stability. Follow the safe operating procedures specified in the attached manual to the equipment.

14. Do not modify the tractor. Unauthorized modification may affect the function of the tractor, which may result in personal injury.

2. OPERATING THE TRACTOR

1. Never start engine or operate levers from anywhere other than the seat.

2. Before starting the engine, make sure that all

levers (including auxiliary control levers) are in their neutral positions, that the parking brake is enqaqed. and that the Power Take-Off (PTO)are disengaged.

Fastenthe seatbelt if the tractor has a RaPS.

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. Pull only from the hitch. Never hitch to axle

housing or any other point except hitch; such

arrangements only increase the risk of serious

personal injury or death due to atractor upset.

12. Watchwhere you aregoing atall times. Watch tcr and avoid obstacles. Be alert at row ends, near trees, and other obstructions.

13. When working in groups, always let the others know what you are going to do before you do it.

14. Never "freewheel". Shifting into neutral whlle descending a slope could leadto a loss of contra)

15. Never try to get on or off a moving tractor.

3. DRIVING THE TRACTOR ON THE ROAD

1. Always slow the tractor down before turning Turning at high speed may tip the tractor over.

2. Make sure that the Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV sign is clean and visible. Use hazard lights as required.

3. When towing other equipment, place an SM\ emblem on it as well.

5. Do not operate or idle engine in a non-ventilated area. Carbon monoxide gas is colorless, odorless, and deadly.

6. Keep all shields and guards in place. Replaceany that aremissing or damaged.

7. Avoid sudden starts. To avoid upsets, slow down when turning, on uneven terrain, and before stopping.

8. Thetractor cannotturn with the differential locked and attempting to do so could be dangerous.

9. Do not operate near ditches, holes, embankments, or other terrain features which

may collapse under the tractor's weight. The risk

of tractor upset is even higher when the ground is

loose or wet.

10. Driving forward out of a ditch or mired condition or up a steep slope risks a tractor to be upset

backward. Always back out of these situations. Extra caution is required with four-wheel drive

models becausetheir higher traction cangive the operator falseconfidence inthe tractor's ability to climb slopes.

11. To avoid upsets, always back up steep slopes. Stay off hills and slopes too steep for safe operation.

Safe Operation

SERVICING THE TRACTOR

Before servicing the tractor, park it on a firm, flat and level surface, set the parking brake, place the gear shift lever in neutral and stop the engine and remove

the key.

1. Allow the tractor time to cool off before working on or nearthe engine, muffler, radiator, etc.

2. Always stop the engine and remove the key before refueling. Avoid spills and overfilling.

3. Do not smoke when working around battery or when refueling. Keepall sparks and flames away from battery and fuel tank. The battery presents an explosive hazardbecauseit gives off hydrogen and oxygen ... especially when recharging.

4. Before 'Jump starting" a dead battery, read and foliow all of the instructions. (See"JUMP STARTING"in Operating the Engine Section)

Keepfirst aid kit and fire extinguisher handy at all times.

6. 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 escapebefore removing the cap completely. If the tractor has a coolant recovery tank, add coolant there instead of to the radiator.

7. Disconnect the battery's ground cable before working on or near electric components.

8. Do not use or charge the refillable type battery if the fluid level is below the LOWER(lower limit level) mark. Otherwise, the battery component parts may prematurely deteriorate, which may shorten the battery's service life or cause an explosion. Checkthe fluid level regularly and add distilled water as required so that the fluid level is between the UPPERand LOWERlevels.

9. To avoid sparks from an accidental short circuit, always disconnect the battery's ground cable

first and connect it last.

11. Do not work under any hydraulically suppc devices. They can settle, suddenly leak do\,.'C be accidentally lowered. If necessary to under tractor or any machine elements servicing or adjustment, securely support
