40 PERIODIC SERVICE
3. Remove the radiator pressure cap and check to see
that the coolant level is just below the port. If low, add
coolant.
4. To drain the used coolant, open the drain plugs and
remove radiator cap. The radiator cap must be
removed to completely drain the radiator.
(1) Drain plug (Radiator)
(2) Drain cock plug (Engine)
5. Be sure to close the radiator cap securely. If the cap is
loose or improperly closed, water may leak out and the
engine could overheat.
6. The Radiator should be filled with part anti-freeze and
part water at all times as recommended by the anti-
freeze manufacturer. The anti-freeze contains a
corrosion inhibitor and will allow a higher operating
temperature in the radiator during the hot season.
7. Do not use an anti-freeze and scale inhibitor at the
same time.
BRemedying Coolant Leakage
If coolant leakage should become extremely excessive,
consult your KUBOTA Dealer.
BEngine Overheating Precautions
If the engine is overheated, take the following actions.
1. Stop machine operation in a safe place, disengage the
mower deck and keep the engine idling.
2. Don't stop the engine immediately; stop it after about
5 minutes of unloaded idling.
3. Shut off the engine and keep well away from the
machine for 10 minutes or while the steam is blown
out.
4. Checking that there is no danger of being burned, get
rid of the causes of overheating according to the
manual, see "TROUBLESHOOTING" section.
Start the engine again.
BCleaning Cooling System
1. The cooling system should be cleaned on the following
occasions:
(A) Every 1 year of service.
(B) When adding anti-freeze solution.
2. When cleaning the cooling system, scale inhibitor is
recommended to effectively wash away the scale
build-up.
BAnti-Freeze
To avoid personal injury:
A When using anti-freeze, put on some protection
such as rubber gloves. (Anti-freeze contains
poison.)
A If it is swallowed, seek immediate medical help.
Do NOT make a person throw up unless told to
do so by poison control or a health care
professional. Use standard first aid and CPR
for signs of shock or cardiac arrest. Call your
local Poison Control Center or your local
emergency number for further assistance.
A When anti-freeze comes in contact with the
skin or clothing, wash it off immediately.
A Do not mix different types of Anti-freeze.
The mixture can produce chemical reaction
causing harmful substances.
A Anti-freeze is extremely
explosive under certain conditions. Keep fire
and children away from anti-freeze.
A When draining fluids from the engine, place
some container underneath the engine body.
A Do not pour waste onto the grounds, down a
drain, or into any water source.
A Also, observe the relevant environmental
protection regulations when disposing of anti-
freeze.
