• Battery

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.

Maintenance

IMPORTANT:

• 00

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

radiator.

SERVICE AS REQUIRED

• 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.

• Replacing Fuse

CAUTION

The tractor electrical system is protected from

potential damage by fuses.

A blown fuse indicates that there is an overload or

short somewhere in the electrical system. If any of the fuses should blow, replace with a new one of the same capacity.

IMPORTANT:

• Before replacing a blown fuse, determine why the

fuse blew and make any necessary repairs. Failure to follow this procedure may result in serious damage to the tractor electrical system. Refer to the troubleshooting section of this manual or your local KUBOTA Dealer for specific information dealing with electrical problems.

If any of them should blow, replace with a new one

of the same capacity.

STORAGE

CAUTION

To avoid personal injury:

• Do not clean the machine with engine running.

• To avoid the danger of exhaust fume poisoning, do not operate the engine in

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

periodic service section.)

8. Keepthe tractor in a dry placewhere the tractor is sheltered from the elements. Coverthe tractor.

9. Store the tractor indoors in a dry area that is protected from sunlight and excessiveheat. If the

tractor must be stored outdoors, cover it with a

waterproof tarpaulin.

Jack the tractor up and place blocks under the

front and rear axles so that all four tires are off

the ground. Keepthe tires out of direct sunlight

and extreme heat.

REMOVING THE TRACTOR FROM STORAGE

1. Checkthe tire air pressure and inflate the tires if they are low.

2. Jack the tractor up and remove the support

blocksfrom under the front and rear axles.

3. Install the battery. Before installing the battery,

be sure it is fully charged.

4. Checkthe fanbelt tension.

5. Check all fluid levels (engine oil, transmissioni

hydraulic oil, engine coolant and any attached implements).

6. Start the engine.Observeall gauges. If all gauges are functioning properly and reading normal, move the tractor outside. Onceoutside, park the tractor and let the engine idle for at least five

minutes. Shut the engine off and walk around tractor and make a visual inspection looking for evidence of oil or water leaks.

7. With the engine fully warmed up, release the parking brake and test the brakes for proper

adjustment as you move forward. Adjust the

brakesas necessary.
