SAFETY WORKING
A
Do not work on the machine while under the
influence of alcohol , medication, or other substance s
or while fatigued.
A
Wear close fitting clothing and safety equipment
appropriate to the job.
A
Use tools appropriate to the work. Makeshift tools,
parts, and procedures are not recommended.
A
When servicing is performed together by two or
more persons, take care to perform all work safely.
A
Do not work under the machine that is supported
solely by a jack. Always support the machine by
safety stands.
A
Do not touch the rotating or hot parts while the
engine is running.
A
Never remove the radiator cap while the engine is
running, or immediately after stopping. Otherwise,
hot water will spout out from radiator. Only remove
radiator cap when cool enough to touch with bare
hands. Slowly loosen the cap to first stop to relieve
pressure before removing completely.
A
Escaping fluid (fuel or hydraulic oil) under pressure
can penetrate the skin causing serious injury.
Relieve pressure before disconnecting hydraulic or
fuel lines. Tighten all connections before applying
pressure.
0000000755E
AVOID FIRES
A
Fuel is extremely flammable and explosive under
certain conditions. Do not smoke or allow flames or
sparks in your working area.
A
To avoid sparks from an accidental short circuit,
always disconnect the battery negative cable first
and connect it last.
A
Battery gas can explode. Keep sparks and open
flame away from the top of battery, especially when
charging the battery.
A
Make sure that no fuel has been spilled on the
engine.

VENTILATE WORK AREA
A
If the engine must be running to do some work, make
sure the area is wel l ventilat ed. Never r un the engi ne
in a closed area. The exhaust gas contains
poisonous carbon monoxide.
0000000757E
PREVENT ACID BURNS
A
Sulfuric acid in battery electrolyte is poisonous. It is
strong enough to burn skin, clothing and cause
blindness if splashed into eyes. Keep electrolyte
away from eyes, hands and clothing. If you spill
electrolyte on yourself, flush with water, and get
medical attention immediately.
0000000758E
DISPOSE OF FLUIDS PROPERLY
A
Do not pour fluids into the ground, down a drain, or
into a stream, pond, or lake. Observe relevant
environmental protection regulations when
disposing of oil, fuel, coolant, electrolyte and other
harmful waste.

2.GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
A
During disassembly, carefully arrange removed parts in a
clean area to prevent confusion later. Screws, bolts and nuts
should be installed in their original position to prevent
reassembly errors.
A
When special tools are required, use KUBOTA genuine
special tools. Special tools which are not frequently used
should be made according to the drawings provided.
A
Before disassembling or servicing electrical wires, always
disconnect the ground cable from the battery first.
A
Remove oil and dirt from parts before measuri ng.
A
Use only KUBOTA genuine parts for parts replacement to
maintain machine performance and to assur e safety.
A
Gaskets and O-rings must be replaced during reassembly.
Apply grease to new O-rings or oil seals before assembling.
See the figure left side.
A
When reassembling external snap rings or inter nal snap rings,
they must be positioned so that sharp edge faces against the
direction from which a force is applied. See the figure left side.
A
When inserting spring pins, their splits must face t he dir ection
from which a force is applied. See the figure left side.
A
To prevent damage to the hydrau lic system, use only spec ified
fluid or equivalent.

connection every year. To this end, educate the customer
to do his or her own check and at the same time
recommend the dealer to perf orm periodic check for a fee.
A
Do not attempt to modify or remodel any electrical parts
and wiring.

With the emission contr ol now in ef fect, the CF-4 and CG- 4 l ubricati ng oil s have been devel oped f or use
of a low-sulfur fuel on on-road vehicle engines. When an off-road vehicle engine runs on a high-sulfur
fuel, it is advisable to employ the CF, CD or CE lubricating oil with a high total base number. If the CF4 or CG-4 lubricating oil is used with a high-sulfur fuel, change the lubricating oil at shorter intervals.

Transmission Oil : The oil used to lubricate the transmission is also used as hydraulic fluid. To insure
proper operation of the hydraulic system and complete lubrication of the transmission, it is important
that a multi-grade trans mission fluid be used in this system. We r ecommend the use of KUBOTA SUPER
