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.
ENGLISH
muffler, muffler cover, radiator, hoses, engine body,
coolants, engine oil, EGR, 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 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 Anti-freeze.
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.
11.CONDUCTING SAFETY CHECKS & MAINTENANCE
A When inspecting the engine or servicing, place the
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
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

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.
BImmediately stop the engine if;
A The engine suddenly slows down or accelerates.
A Unusual noises are suddenly heard.
A Exhaust fumes suddenly become very dark.
A The oil pressure lamp or the water temperature
alarm lamp lights up.
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 other parts, and then replace
parts as needed.

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.

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 cool-
ant percentage.
*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.
