6. Turn the key to the "STARTING"
position and the engine should start.
Release the key immediately when the
engine starts.
7. Check to see that the oil pressure lamp
and charge lamp are off. If the lamps are
still on, immediately stop the engine,
and determine the cause.
(See "CHECKS DURING OPERATION" in
"OPERATING THE ENGINE" Section.)
A If the oil pressure lamp should be still on,
immediately stop the engine and check;
- if there is enough engine oil.
- if the engine oil has dirt in it.
- if the wiring is faulty.
8. Warm up the engine at medium speed
without load.
A If the glow lamp should redden too quickly or too
slowly, immediately ask your KUBOTA dealer to
check and repair it.
A If the engine does not catch or start at 10 seconds
after the starter switch is set at "STARTING"
position, wait for another 30 seconds and then begin
the engine starting sequence again. Do not allow the
starter motor to run continuously for more than 20
seconds.

OPERATING THE ENGINE
A In case of installing standard glow lamp, glow lamp
goes off after about 6 seconds, when the starter
switch key is turned to preheating position. However
if necessary, keep the starter switch key at
preheating position for longer time, according to the
left recommendation.
6. Turn the key to the "STARTING"
position and the engine should start.
(If the engine fails to start after 10 seconds,
turn off the key for 5 to 30 seconds. Then
repeat steps (5) and (6).)
A Do not allow the starter motor to run continuously for
more than 20 seconds.
A Be sure to warm up the engine, not only in winter, but
also in warmer seasons. An insufficiently warmed-up
engine can shorten its service life.
A When there is fear of temperature dropping below
-15°C (5°F) detach the battery from the machine,
and keep it indoors in a safe area, to be reinstalled
just before the next operation.
