RADIATOR

Make it a rule to check the coolant level before every
operation.
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, rotate cap slowly to the first
stop to allow excess pressure to escape. Then
remove cap completely.
If overheating should occur, steam gushes out
from the radiator or reserve tank; Allow the
engine to cool before attempting to open the
cap. 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.
(1) Radiator cap
(2) Coolant filling port
2. If the radiator is provided with a reserve tank, check
the coolant level of the reserve tank. When it is
between the "FULL" and "LOW" marks, the coolant will
usually last for one day's work.
PERIODIC SERVICE
(1) Reserve tank
(2) Cap
3. When the coolant level drops due to evaporation, add
only 50/50 coolant up to the full level.
4. Check to see the two drain plug; one is at the
crankcase side and the other is at the lower part of the
radiator as shown below.
(1) Coolant drain plug (Radiator)
(2) Radiator
(3) Coolant drain plug (Engine)
A If the radiator cap has to be removed, proceed with
caution and securely retighten the cap.
A If coolant is leaking, consult your local KUBOTA
Dealer.
A Make sure that muddy or sea water is not used in the
radiator.
A Use clean, fresh water and 50% anti-freeze to fill the
recovery tank.
A Do not refill reserve 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 the level quickly.
