06.1 PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS

BEFORE STARTING THE UNIT
ENGINE OIL (picture 1)
The unit is delivered complete with
lubricating oil.
Check the oil level in the sump using the dipstick (1)
located on the right side of the engine (see Checking the
oil level on page 35); refill the correct level using the oil
filler (2), if necessary; choose the oil viscosity according
to the ambient temperature (for other temperatures check
the table at page 35).
Wait at least five minutes, then check the oil level again.
It is important that the unit is sitting on level ground.
FUEL CHECKING (picture 2)
Before starting the machine check the fuel level, and
refuel the tank if necessary.
To refuel the machine proceed as here under indicated:
• Remove the fuel cap (n.3).
• Proceed to fill up the fuel tank.
• Put the fuel cap back on.
• In case, clean up any spilled fuel immediately before
starting the machine.
COOLANT CHECKING (picture 3)
The machine is supplied filled up with
coolant. Before starting the machine
check for the right coolant level.
To check the coolant level remove the radiator cap (4)
after the engine has completely cooled, and check to see
that coolant reaches the supply port; or check the cool-
ant level of the reserve tank (5). When it is between the
"FULL" and "LOW" marks, the coolant will last for one
day's work.
The marks of the reserve tank do not
indicate the coolant of the engine inside.
When the coolant level drops due to
evaporation, add water only up to the full
level.
Use clean, fresh water and 50% anti-
freeze to fill the recovery tank.
If coolant should leak, consult your local
KUBOTA dealer.
Be sure to close the radiator cap
securely. If the cap is loose or improperly
closed, coolant may leak out and
decrease quickly.
