WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
• Be sure to stop the engine before changing the oil filter
cartridge.
• Allow engine to cool down sufficiently, oil can be hot and
can burn.
1. Remove the drain plugs at the bottom of the transmission case
and drain the oil completely into the oil pan.
2. After draining reinstall the drain plugs.
3. Remove the oil filter.
4. Put a film of clean transmission oil on the rubber seal of the new
filter.
5. Quickly tighten the filter until it contacts the mounting surface,
then, with a filter wrench, tighten it an additional 1 turn only.
6. After the new filter has been replaced, fill the transmission oil up
to the upper notch on the dipstick.
7. After running the engine for a few minutes, stop the engine and
check the oil level again, add oil to the prescribed level.
8. Make sure that the transmission fluid doesn't leak past the seal
on the filter.
IMPORTANT
• To prevent serious damage to the hydraulic system, use
only a KUBOTA genuine filter.
• Do not operate the tractor immediately after changing the
transmission fluid.
Run the engine at medium speed for a few minutes to
prevent damage to the transmission.
