Stopping The Engine; Warming Up; Warm-Up Transmission Oil In The Low Temperature Range; Jump Starting - Kubota RTV1140 CPX Operator's Manual

STOPPING THE ENGINE

1. After slowing the engine to idle, turn the key to "OFF".
2. Remove the key.

WARMING UP

To avoid personal injury:
A Be sure to set the parking brake during warm-
up.
A Be sure to set the range shift lever to the
"NEUTRAL" position and lock the hydraulic lift
cylinder lever to the "NEUTRAL" position with
restricting plate during warm-up.
For 5 minutes after engine start-up, allow the engine to
warm up without applying any load. This is to allow oil to
reach every engine part. If load should be applied to the
engine without this warm-up period, trouble such as
seizure, breakage or premature wear may develop.
BWarm-Up Transmission Oil in the Low
Temperature Range
Hydraulic oil serves as transmission fluid. In cold weather,
the oil may be cold with increased viscosity. This can
cause delayed oil circulation or abnormally low hydraulic
pressure for some time after engine start-up. This in turn
can result in trouble in the hydraulic system.
To prevent the above, observe the following instructions:
Warm up the engine at about 50% of rated rpm according
to the table below:
Ambient temperature
Above 0 (32 )
-10 to 0 (14 to 32
-20 to -10 (-4 to 14
Below -20 (-4 )
A Do not operate the vehicle under full load condition
until it is sufficiently warmed up.
Warm-up time requirement
Approx. 5 minutes
) 5 to 10 minutes
) 10 to 15 minutes
More than 15 minutes
OPERATING THE ENGINE

JUMP STARTING

To avoid personal injury:
A Battery gases can explode. Keep cigarettes,
sparks, and flames away from battery.
A If vehicle battery is frozen, do not jump start
engine.
A Do not connect other end of negative jumper
cable to negative terminal of vehicle battery.
When jump starting engine, follow the instructions below
to safely start the engine.
1. Bring helper vehicle with a battery of the same voltage
as disabled vehicle within easy cable reach. "THE
VEHICLES MUST NOT TOUCH".
2. Engage the parking brake of both vehicles and put the
shift lever in neutral. Shut the engine off.
3. Put on safety goggles and rubber gloves.
4. Ensure the vent caps are securely in place. (if
equipped)
5. Cover vent holes with damp rags. Do not allow the rag
to touch the battery terminals.
6. Attach the red clamp to the positive (red, (+) or pos.)
terminal of the dead battery and clamp the other end
of the same cable to the positive (red, (+) or pos.)
terminal of the helper battery.
7. Clamp the other cable to the negative (black, (-) or
neg.) terminal of the helper battery.
8. Clamp the other end to the engine block or frame of
the disabled vehicle as far from the dead battery as
possible.
9. Start the helper vehicle and let its engine run for a few
moments. Start the disabled vehicle.
10. Disconnect the jumper cables in the exact reverse
order of attachment. (Steps 8, 7 and 6).
11. Remove and discard the damp rags.
