problem that requires immediate shut down.
5.
SAFE HANDLING OF FUEL AND LUBRICANTS -KEEP AWAY FROM FIRE
A Always stop the engine before refueling and/or
lubricating.
A DO NOT smoke or allow flames or sparks in your work
area. Fuel is extremely flammable and explosive under
certain conditions.
A Refuel at a well ventilated and open place. When fuel
and/or lubricants are spilled, refuel after letting the
engine cool down.
A DO NOT mix gasoline or alcohol with diesel fuel. The
mixture can cause a fire or severe engine damage.
A Do not use unapproved containers e.g. buckets, bottles,
jars. Use approved fuel storage containers and
dispensers.
6. EXHAUST GASES & FIRE PREVENTION
A Engine exhaust fumes can be very harmful if allowed to
accumulate. Be sure to run the engine in a well
ventilated location and where there are no people or
livestock near the engine.
A The exhaust gas from the muffler is very hot. To prevent
a fire, do not expose dry grass, mowed grass, oil or any
other combustible materials to exhaust gas. Keep the
engine and muffler clean at all times.
A To avoid a fire, be alert for leaks of flammable
substances from hoses and lines. Be sure to check for
leaks from hoses or pipes, such as fuel and hydraulic
fluid by following the maintenance check list.
A To avoid a fire, do not short across power cables and
wires. Check to see that all power cables and wirings
are in good condition. Keep all electrical connections
clean. Bare wire or frayed insulation can cause a
dangerous electrical shock and personal injury.
7. ESCAPING FLUID
A Relieve all pressure in the air, the oil and the cooling
systems before disconnecting any lines, fittings or
related items.
A Be cautious of possible pressure relief when
disconnecting any device from a pressurized system
that utilizes pressure. DO NOT check for pressure leaks
with your hand. High pressure oil or fuel can cause
personal injury.
A Escaping fluid under pressure has sufficient force to
penetrate skin causing serious personal injury.
A Fluid escaping from pinholes may be invisible. Use a
piece of cardboard or wood to search for suspected
leaks: do not use hands and body. Use safety goggles
or other eye protection when checking for leaks.
A If injured by escaping fluid, see a medical doctor
immediately. This fluid can produce gangrene or severe
allergic reaction.

8. CAUTIONS AGAINST BURNS & BATTERY EXPLOSION
A To avoid burns, be cautious of hot components, e.g.
muffler, muffler cover, radiator, hoses, engine body,
coolants, engine oil, etc. during operation and after the
engine has been shut off.
A DO NOT remove the radiator cap while the engine is
running or immediately after stopping. Otherwise hot
water will spout out from the radiator. Wait until the
radiator is completely cool to the touch before removing
the cap. Wear safety goggles.
A Be sure to close the coolant drain valve, secure the
pressure cap, and fasten the pipe band before
operating. If these parts are taken off, or loosened, it will
ENGLISH
result in serious personal injury.
A The battery presents an explosive hazard. When the
battery is being charged, hydrogen and oxygen gases
are extremely explosive.
A DO NOT use or charge the battery if its fluid level is
below the LOWER mark.
Otherwise, the component parts may deteriorate earlier
than expected, which may shorten the service life or
cause an explosion. Immediately, add distilled water
until the fluid level is between the UPPER and LOWER
marks.
A Keep sparks and open flames away from the battery,
especially during charging. DO NOT strike a match near
the battery.
A DO NOT check the battery charge by placing a metal
object across the terminals. Use a voltmeter or
hydrometer.
A DO NOT charge a frozen battery. There is a risk of
explosion. When frozen, warm the battery up to at least
16°C (61°F).
9. KEEP HANDS AND BODY AWAY FROM ROTATING PARTS
A Be sure to stop the engine before checking or adjusting
the belt tension and cooling fan.
A Keep your hands and body away from rotating parts,
such as the cooling fan, V-belt, fan drive pulley or
flywheel. Contact with rotating parts can cause severe
personal injury.
A DO NOT run the engine without safety guards. Install
safety guards securely before operation.
10. ANTI-FREEZE & DISPOSAL OF FLUIDS
A Anti-freeze contains poison. Wear rubber gloves to
avoid personal injury. In case of contact with skin, wash
it off immediately.
A DO NOT mix different types of Anti-freeze. The mixture
can produce a chemical reaction causing harmful
substances. Use approved or genuine KUBOTA Antifreeze.
A Be mindful of the environment and the ecology. Before
draining any fluids, determine the correct way to dispose
of them. Observe the relevant environmental protection
regulations when disposing of oil, fuel, coolant, brake
fluid, filters and batteries.
A When draining fluids from the engine, place a suitable
container underneath the engine body.
A DO NOT pour waste onto the ground, down a drain, or
into any water source. Dispose of waste fluids according
to environmental regulations.

engine on a large flat surface. DO NOT work on
anything that is supported ONLY by lift jacks or a hoist.
Always use blocks or the correct stands to support the
engine before servicing.
A Disconnect the battery from the engine before
conducting service. Put a "DO NOT OPERATE!" tag on
the key switch to avoid accidental starting.
A To avoid sparks from an accidental short circuit always
disconnect the battery's ground cable (-) first and
reconnect it last.
A Be sure to stop the engine and remove the key when
ENGLISH
conducting daily and periodic maintenance, service and
cleaning.
A Check or conduct maintenance after the engine,
coolant, muffler, or muffler cover have cooled off
completely.
A Always use the appropriate tools and fixtures. Verify that
they are in good condition before performing any service
work. Make sure you understand how to use them
before service.
A Use ONLY correct engine barring techniques for
manually rotating the engine. DO NOT attempt to rotate
the engine by pulling or prying on the cooling fan and Vbelt. This practice can cause serious personal injury or
premature damage to the cooling fan and belt.
A Replace fuel pipes and lubricant pipes with their hose
clamps every 2 years or earlier whether they are
damaged or not. They are made of rubber and age
gradually.
A When servicing is performed together by two or more
persons, take care to perform all work safely.
A Keep a first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy at all

9OPERATING THE ENGINE
BOil pressure lamp
The lamp lights up to warn the operator that the engine
oil pressure has dropped below the prescribed level. If
this should happen during operation or should not go off
even after the engine is accelerated more than
1000rpm, immediately stop the engine and check the
following:
1. Engine oil level (See "ENGINE OIL" in "PERIODIC
SERVICE" Section.)
2. Lubricant system (See "ENGINE OIL" in "PERIODIC
SERVICE" Section.)
BFuel
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury:
A Fluid escaping from pinholes may
be invisible. Do not use hands to
search for suspected leaks; Use a
piece of cardboard or wood,
instead. If injured by escaping fluid,
see a medical doctor at once. This
fluid can produce gangrene or a
severe allergic reaction.
A Check any leaks from fuel pipes or
fuel injection pipes. Use eye
protection when checking for leaks.
Be careful not to empty the fuel tank. Otherwise air may
enter the fuel system, requiring fuel system bleeding.
(See "FUEL" in "PERIODIC SERVICE" Section.)
BColor of exhaust
While the engine is run within the rated output range:
A The color of exhaust remains colorless.
A If the output slightly exceeds the rated level, exhaust
may become a little colored with the output level kept
constant.
A If the engine is run continuously with dark exhaust
emission, it may lead to trouble with the engine.
REVERSED ENGINE REVOLUTION AND
REMEDIES
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury:
A Reversed engine operation can
make the machine reverse and run it
backwards. It may lead to serious
trouble.
A Reversed engine operation may
make exhaust gas gush out into the
intake side and ignite the air
cleaner; It could catch fire.
Reversed engine revolution must be stopped
immediately since engine oil circulation is cut quickly,
leading to serious trouble.
BHow to tell when the engine starts running
backwards
1. Lubricating oil pressure drops sharply. Oil pressure
warning light, if used, will light.
2. Since the intake and exhaust sides are reversed, the
sound of the engine changes, and exhaust gas will
come out of the air cleaner.
3. A louder knocking sound will be heard when the
engine starts running backwards.
BRemedies
1. Immediately set the engine stop lever to the "STOP"
position to stop the engine.
2. After stopping the engine, check the air cleaner,
intake rubber tube and then other parts and replace
parts as needed.
ENGLISH
BImmediately stop the engine if;
A The engine suddenly slows down or accelerates.

RADIATOR
Coolant will last for one day's work if filled all the way up
before operation start. Make it a rule to check the
coolant level before every operation.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury:
A Do not stop the engine suddenly,
stop it after about 5 minutes of
unloaded idling.
A Work only after letting the engine
and radiator cool off completely
(more than 30 minutes after it has
been stopped).
A Do not remove the radiator cap
while coolant is hot. When cool to
the touch, rotate cap to the first stop
to allow excess pressure to escape.
Then remove cap completely.
If overheats should occur, steam
may gush out from the radiator or
recovery tank; Severe burns could
result.
BChecking coolant level, adding coolant
1. Remove the radiator cap, after the engine has
completely cooled, and check to see that coolant
reaches the supply port.
2. If the radiator is provided with a recovery tank, check
the coolant level of the recovery tank. When it is
between the "FULL" and "LOW" marks, the coolant
will last for one day's work.
(1) Recovery tank(A) "FULL"
3. When the coolant level drops due to evaporation,
add water only up to the full level.
4. Check to see that two drain cocks; one is at the
crankcase side and the other is at the lower part of
the radiator as figures below.
A If the radiator cap has to be removed, follow the
caution and securely retighten the cap.
A If coolant should be leak, consult your local KUBOTA
dealer.
A Make sure that muddy or sea water does not enter
the radiator.
A Use clean, fresh water and 50% anti-freeze to fill the
recovery tank.
A Do not refill recovery tank with coolant over the
"FULL" level mark.
A Be sure to close the radiator cap securely. If the cap
is loose or improperly closed, coolant may leak out
and decrease quickly.
BChanging coolant
1. To drain coolant, always open both drain cocks and
simultaneously open the radiator cap as well. With
the radiator cap kept closed, a complete drain of
water is impossible.
2. Remove the overflow pipe of the radiator pressure
cap to drain the recovery tank.
Check to see if radiator hoses are properly fixed every
250 hours of operation or 6 months, whichever comes
first.
1. If clamp bands are loose or water leaks, tighten
clamp bands securely.
2. Replace hoses and tighten clamp bands securely, if
radiator hoses are swollen, hardened or cracked.
Replace hoses and clamp bands every 2 years or
earlier, if checked and found that hoses are swollen,
hardened or cracked.
BPrecaution at overheating
The event that the coolant temperature is nearly or more
than the boiling point is called "OVERHEATING".
While running, make the following checks to see that all
parts are working correctly. If anything is unusual,
inspect it, referring to the relevant description in
"MAINTENANCE" and "PERIODIC SERVICE"
section.
C Coolant
If the coolant temperature warning lamp lights up or if
steam or coolant does not stop squirting from the
radiator overflow pipe, turn off the load and keep the
engine idling (COOLING-DOWN) for at least 5
minutes to let it cool down gradually. Then stop the
engine and take the following inspection and servicing.
1. Check to see if the coolant runs short or if there is
any coolant leak;
2. Check to see if there is any obstacle around the
cooling air inlet or outlet;
3. Check to see if there is any dirt or dust between
radiator fins and tube;
4. Check to see if the fan belt is too loose; and
5. Check to see if radiator water pipe is clogged.
BCleaning radiator core (outside)
If dust is between the fin and tube, wash it away with
running water.
A Do not clean radiator with firm tools such as spatulas
or screwdrivers. They may damage specified fin or
tube. It can cause coolant leaks or decrease cooling
performance.

BAnti-freeze
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury:
A When using anti-freeze, put on
some protection such as rubber
gloves (Anti-freeze contains
poison.).
A If should drink anti-freeze, throw up
at once and take medical attention.
A When anti-freeze comes in contact
with the skin or clothing, wash it off
immediately.
A Do not mix different types of anti-
freeze. The mixture can produce
chemical reaction causing harmful
substances.
A Anti-freeze is extremely flammable
and explosive under certain
conditions. Keep fire and children
away from anti-freeze.
A When draining fluids from the
engine, place some container
underneath the engine body.
A Do not pour waste onto the
grounds, down a drain, or into any
water source.
A Also, observe the relevant
environmental protection regulations
when disposing of anti-freeze.
Always use a 50/50 mix of long-life coolant and clean
soft water in KUBOTA engines.
Contact KUBOTA 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, flush
the radiator with fresh water. Repeat this procedure
2 or 3 times to clean up the radiator and engine block
from 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. Refer to SAE J1034 standard, more
specifically also to SAE J814c.

5. Adding the LLC
(1) Add only water if the coolant level reduces in the
cooling system by evaporation.
(2) If there is a coolant leak, add the LLC of the same
manufacturer and type in the same coolant percent-
age.
*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 anti-corrosive
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 2
years.

CARRIAGE AND STORAGE
CARRIAGE
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury:
A Fix the engine securely not to fall
during operation.
A Do not stand near or under the
engine while carrying it.
A The engine is heavy. In handling it,
ENGLISH
be very alert not to get your hands
and body caught in.
1. Use carrier such as crane when carrying the engine,
or hurt your waist and yourself. Support the engine
securely with rope not to fall while carrying it.
2. When lifting the engine, put the hook securely to
metal fittings attached to the engine. Use strong
hook and fittings enough to hang the engine.
STORAGE
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury:
A Do not clean the machine with
engine running.
A To avoid the danger of exhaust fume
poisoning, do not operate the
engine in a closed building without
proper ventilation.
A When storing the engine just after
running, let the engine cool off.
Before storing the engine for more than a few months,
remove any dirt on the machine, and:
1. Drain the coolant in the radiator. Open the cock at
the bottom of the radiator, and remove the pressure
cap to drain water completely. Leave the cock open.
Hang a note written "No water" on the pressure cap.
Since water may freeze when the temperature drops
below 0°C (32°F), it is very important that no water is
left in the machine.
2. Remove dirty engine oil, fill with new oil and run the
engine for about 5 minutes to let the oil penetrate to
all the parts.
3. Check all the bolts and nuts, and tighten if
necessary.
4. Remove the battery from the engine, adjust the
electrolyte level, and recharge it. Store the battery in
a dry and dark place.
5. When the engine is not used for a long period of
time, run it for about 5 minutes under no load every
2 to 3 months to keep it free from rust. If the engine
is stored without any running, moisture in the air may
condense into dew over the sliding parts of the
engine, resulting in rust there.
6. If you forget to run the engine for longer than 5 to 6
months, apply enough engine oil to the valve guide
and valve stem seal and make sure the valve works
smoothly before starting the engine.
7. Store the engine in a flat place and remove the key
from engine.
8. Do not store the engine in a place where has
flammable materials such as dry grass or straw.
9. When covering the engine for storage, let engine
and muffler cool off completely.
10.Operate the engine after checking and repairing
damaged wirings or pipes, and clearing flammable
materials carried by mouse.
