Replacing The Oil Filter Cartridge; Radiator; Checking Coolant Level, Adding Coolant - Kubota Z482-E Operator's Manual

BReplacing the oil filter cartridge
To avoid personal injury:
A Be sure to stop the engine before
changing the oil filter cartridge.
A Allow engine
sufficiently, oil can be hot and cause
burns.
1. Replace the oil filter cartridge after the initial 50 hours
of operation and every 200 hours thereafter.
2. Remove the old oil filter cartridge with a filter wrench.
3. Apply a film of oil to the gasket for the new cartridge.
4. Screw in the cartridge by hand. When the gasket
contacts the seal surface, tighten the cartridge enough
by hand. Because, if you tighten the cartridge with
wrench, it will be tightened too much.

(Tighten with your hand)
5. After the new cartridge has been replaced, the engine
oil level normally decreases a little. Thus, run the
engine for a while and check oil leaks through the seal
before checking the engine oil level. Add oil if
necessary.
A Wipe off any oil sticking to the machine completely.

PERIODIC SERVICE

RADIATOR

Coolant will last for one day's work if filled all the way up
before operation start. 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 to the
touch, rotate cap to the first stop to
allow excess pressure to escape.
Then remove cap completely.
If overheats should occur, steam
may gush out from the radiator or
recovery tank; 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.

2. If the radiator is provided with a recovery tank, check
the coolant level of the recovery tank. When it is
between the "FULL" and "LOW" marks, the coolant
will last for one day's work.
