Checking Transmission Fluid Level; Checking Coolant Level - Kubota ZD1211 Operator's Manual

50 PERIODIC SERVICE
A If the engine stalled with some remaining in the fuel
tank RH, close the fuel valve of fuel tank LH and you
can operate.
BChecking Transmission Fluid Level
To avoid serious injury or death:
A Allow the transmission case to cool down
sufficiently when cleaning its surface.
1. Park the machine on a flat surface, lower the
implement to the ground and shut off the engine and
remove the key.
Allow the machine to idle for 1-3 minutes, and then
check fluid.
2. Raise and lock the operator's seat.
3. To check the oil level, draw out the dipstick, wipe it
clean, replace it, and draw it out again. Check to see
that the oil level lies between the two notches.
If the level is too low, add the new oil to the prescribed
level at the oil inlet.
(See "LUBRICANTS, FUEL AND COOLANT" in
"PERIODIC SERVICE" section.)

(2) Oil plug and breather cup
A If oil level is low, do not run engine.
(A) Oil level is acceptable
within this range.
BChecking Coolant Level
To avoid serious injury or death:
A Do not remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot. Then loosen cap slightly to the
stop to relieve any excess pressure before
removing cap completely.
Check the coolant level daily for both the radiator and the
recovery tank before starting engine.
1. Remove the radiator cap and check to see that the
coolant level is just below the fill port.
2. Check to see that the coolant level is between the
"FULL" and "LOW" marks of recovery tank.
3. When the coolant level drops due to evaporation, add
water only up to just below the fill port of the radiator
and the full level of the recovery tank.
In case of leakage, add anti-freeze and water in the
specified mixing ratio up to the full level.
(See "Flushing Cooling System and Changing
Coolant" in "EVERY 2000 HOURS or EVERY 2
YEARS" in "MAINTENANCE" section.)
4. Check radiator hoses for wear, cracks, bubbles or
leaks. If any such are found, repair immediately.
(See "Replacing Radiator Hose" in "EVERY 4 YEARS"
in "MAINTENANCE" section.)
5. Set the direction of the recovery tank cap outlet at left
front (45 ). Set the bottom tip of the hose between
front side of radiator hose and inner side of the frame.
(This will prevent the hose from pulling down and open
the recovery tank cap.)
