INFORMATION
OPERATE SAFELY
• Do not use the machine after you consume alcohol
or medication or when you are tired.
• Put on applicable clothing and safety equipment.
• Use applicable tools only. Do not use alternative
tools or parts.
• When 2 or more persons do servicing, make sure
that you do it safely.
• Do not operate below the machine that only a jack
holds. Always use a safety stand to hold the
machine.
• Do not touch the hot parts or parts that turn when the
engine operates.
• Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine
operates, or immediately after it stops. If not, hot
water can spout out from the radiator. Only remove
the radiator cap when it is at a sufficiently low
temperature to touch with bare hands. Slowly loosen
the cap to release the pressure before you remove it
fully.
• Released fluid (fuel or hydraulic oil) under pressure
can cause damage to the skin and cause serious
injury. Release the pressure before you disconnect
hydraulic or fuel lines. Tighten all connections before
you apply the pressure.
• Do not open a fuel system under high pressure.
The fluid under high pressure that stays in fuel lines
can cause serious injury. Do not disconnect or repair
the fuel lines, sensors, or any other components
between the fuel pump and injectors on engines with
a common rail fuel system under high pressure.
• Put on an applicable ear protective device (earmuffs
or earplugs) to prevent injury against loud noises.
• Be careful about electric shock. The engine
generates a high voltage of more than DC100 V in
the ECU and is applied to the injector.
WSM000001INI0012US0
PREVENT A FIRE
• Fuel is very flammable and explosive under some
conditions. Do not smoke or let flames or sparks in
your work area.
• To prevent sparks from an accidental short circuit,
always disconnect the battery negative cable first
and connect it last.
• The battery gas can cause an explosion. Keep the
sparks and open flame away from the top of battery,
especially when you charge the battery.
• Make sure that you do not spill fuel on the engine.

DISCARD FLUIDS CORRECTLY
• Do not discard fluids on the ground, down the drain,
into a stream, pond, or lake. Obey related
environmental protection regulations when you
discard oil, fuel, coolant, electrolyte and other
dangerous waste.
WSM000001INI0007US0
PREVENT ACID BURNS
• Keep electrolyte away from your eyes, hands and
clothing. Sulfuric acid in battery electrolyte is
poisonous and it can burn your skin and clothing and
cause blindness. If you spill electrolyte on yourself,
clean yourself with water, and get medical aid
immediately.

2. GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
• When you disassemble, carefully put the parts in a clean area
to make it easy to find the parts. You must install the screws,
bolts and nuts in their initial position to prevent the reassembly
errors.
• When it is necessary to use special tools, use KUBOTA special
tools. Refer to the drawings when you make special tools that
you do not use frequently.
• Before you disassemble or repair machine, make sure that you
always disconnect the ground cable from the battery first.
• Remove oil and dirt from parts before you measure.
• Use only KUBOTA genuine parts for replacement to keep the
machine performance and to make sure of safety.
• You must replace the gaskets and O-rings when you assemble
again. Apply grease (1) to new O-rings or oil seals before you
assemble.
• When you assemble the external or internal snap rings, make
sure that the sharp edge (3) faces against the direction from
which force (2) is applied.
• When inserting spring pins, their splits must face the direction
from which a force is applied. See the figure left side.
• To prevent damage to the hydraulic system, use only specified
fluid or equivalent.
• Clean the parts before you measure them.
• Tighten the fittings to the specified torque. Too much torque can
cause damage to the hydraulic units or the fittings. Not sufficient
torque can cause oil leakage.
• When you use a new hose or pipe, tighten the nuts to the
specified torque. Then loosen (approx. by 45 °) and let them be
stable before you tighten to the specified torque (This is not
applied to the parts with seal tape).
• When you remove the two ends of a pipe, remove the lower end
first.
• Use two pliers in removal and installation. One to hold the stable
side, and the other to turn the side you remove to prevent twists.
• Make sure that the sleeves of flared connectors and tapers of
hoses are free of dust and scratches.
• After you tighten the fittings, clean the joint and apply the
maximum operation pressure 2 to 3 times to examine oil
leakage.

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.
To avoid serious injury or death:
• 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.

• Batteries, battery posts, terminals and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds, and other chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth
problems or other reproductive harm. WASH HANDS
AFTER HANDLING.
• Never remove the battery cap 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.
• Keep open sparks and flames away from the battery at all
times. Hydrogen gas mixed with oxygen becomes very
explosive.
• Wear eye protection and rubber gloves when working
around battery.
• Mishandling the battery shortens the service life and adds
to maintenance costs.
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. It is important to check the battery
periodically.
• When exchanging an old battery for new one, use battery of
equal specification in table below.

Maintenance-free, non-accessible batteries are designed to
eliminate the need to add water. Yet the volume of electrolyte above
plates may eventually become depleted due to abnormal conditions
such as high heat or improper regulator setting. Use a voltmeter to
check the state of charge. (See reference chart below to determine
if charging is necessary.)

Battery Charging
To avoid serious injury or death:
• 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.
To avoid serious injury:
• 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.
• Never check battery charge by placing a metal object
across the posts.
Use a voltmeter or hydrometer.
1. Park the vehicle on a flat surface.
2. Stop the engine.
3. Remove the battery cover.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. When exchanging an old battery for a new one, use battery of
equal specification shown in table 1.

Checking Fuel Line and Fuel Filter
To avoid serious injury:
• Be sure to stop the engine and remove the key when
attempting to make the following checks and changes.
• Never fail to check the fuel lines periodically. The fuel lines
are subject to wear and aging. Fuel may leak out onto the
running engine, causing a fire.
The fuel line connections should be checked annually or every
100 service hours, whichever comes first.
1. Park the vehicle on a flat surface, raise the cargo bed, mount the
safety support and shut off the engine.
2. The fuel line is made of rubber and ages regardless of service
period.
3. If the fuel line and clamps are found to be damaged or
deteriorated, replace them.
4. Check fuel filter, if it is clogged by debris or contaminated with
water, replace it.
• When the fuel line is disconnected for maintenance or
repair, close both ends of the fuel line with a piece of clean
cloth or paper to prevent dust and dirt from entering. In
addition, particular care must be taken not to admit dust
and dirt into the fuel pump. Entrance of even a small
amount of dust or dirt cause premature wear and
malfunction of the fuel pump and injector components.
1. Remove the air cleaner cover and primary element.
2. Clean the primary element:
(1) When dry dust adheres to the element, blow compressed air
from the inside, turning the element. Pressure of
compressed air must be under 205 kPa (2.1 kgf/cm
30 psi).
(2) When carbon or oil adheres to the element, replace the
element with new one even if it has not been used for 1 year.
3. Replace the primary element:
Once yearly or after every sixth cleaning, whichever comes first.
• Check to see if the evacuator valve is blocked with dust.
• Check the rubber seal. Replace if damaged.
• The air cleaner uses a dry element, never apply oil.
• Do not run the engine with filter element removed.
• Be sure to refit the cover with the arrow (on the rear of
cover) upright. If the cover is improperly fitted, evacuator
valve will not function and dust will adhere to the element.
• Do not touch the secondary element except in cases where
replacing is required.
Evacuator Valve
Open the evacuator valve once a week under ordinary
conditions-or daily when used in a dusty place-to get rid of large
particles of dust and dirt.

control or a health care professional. Use standard first aid
and CPR for signs of shock or cardiac arrest. Call your
local Poison Control Center or your local emergency
number for further assistance.
• When anti-freeze comes in contact with the skin or
clothing, wash it off immediately.
• Do not mix different types of Anti-freeze. The mixture can
produce chemical reaction causing harmful substances.
• Anti-freeze is extremely flammable and explosive under
certain conditions. Keep fire and children away from
anti-freeze.
• When draining fluids from the engine, place some
container underneath the engine body.
• Do not pour waste onto the ground, down a drain, or into
any water source.
• Also, observe the relevant environmental protection
regulations when disposing of antifreeze.
Always use a 50/50 mix of long-life coolant and clean soft water
in KUBOTA engines.
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, fill the radiator with
fresh water and empty it again.
Repeat this procedure 2 or 3 times to clean up the 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 anti-freeze differs
according to the make of the anti-freeze and the ambient
temperature. Refer to SAE J1034 standard, more specifically
also to SAE J814c.
When mixing the anti-freeze with water, the anti-freeze mixing
ratio is 50 %.

5. Adding the LLC
(1) Add only water if the coolant level reduces in the cooling
system by evaporation.
(2) If there is a mixture leak, add the LLC of the same
manufacturer and type in the mixing ratio 50 %.
* 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.
• The above data represent industry standards that
necessitate a minimum glycol content in the concentrated
anti-freeze.

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 vehicle has not been used for a long period of time.
Bleeding procedure is as follows:
1. Fill the fuel tank with fuel.
2. Pump the fuel pump lever. The fuel pump lever will pump easily
at first and with added resistance as air is purged from the
system.
3. Start the engine and run for about 30 seconds, and then stop
the engine.

Replacing Fuse
The vehicle 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.
• 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 vehicle
electrical system.
Replacement procedure
1. Disconnect the negative cable of the battery.
2. Open the seats and remove the utility box and maintenance
cover.
3. Remove the fuse box cover.
4. Pull out the blown fuse using FUSE PULLER in the fuse box.
5. Insert a new fuse into the fuse box.
6. Install the fuse box cover and the maintenance cover.
• Use for removing and installing lower arm rubber bush.

General Caution
To avoid serious injury:
• Never carry passengers in the cargo bed. They can be tossed about or even thrown off causing serious
injury or death.
• Never raise the cargo bed when it is loaded. (There is an exception. Only the vehicle equipped with
hydraulic dump may do this operation at operator's seat after appropriate confirmation of safety.)
• Driving with the cargo bed tilted may be hazardous.
Always lower the bed and lock the hydraulic lift cylinder lever (if hydraulic dump is equipped) or latch the
bed (if hydraulic dump is not equipped) before driving.
• Be careful not to put any part of your body, such as hands or arms, between the bed and vehicle.
• Drive slowly when it is loaded.
