IMPORTANT :
• Do not use starting fluid or ether.
• To protect the battery and the starter, make
sure that the starter is not continuously
turned for more than 10 seconds.
If the engine does not start, allow 60
seconds cool down period between starting
attempts.
• If the starter does not turn the engine over,
shut off the starter immediately. Do not
make further attempts to start the engine
until the condition is corrected. Do not jump
start using another battery. Consult your
local KUBOTA Dealer.
• Do not turn the key switch while the engine
is running.
• When the temperature is below 0 ℃ (32 ℉),
run the engine at medium speed to warm up
the lubricant of the engine and transmission
for at least 10 minutes. If the machine is
operated before the lubricant is warm
enough, the machine life will be shortened.
• Do not operate the machine under full load
until it is sufficiently warmed up 2 or 3
minutes for temperature above 0 ℃ (32 ℉).
• When the ambient temperature is less than
-15 ℃ (5 ℉), remove the battery from the
machine and store it somewhere warm until
next operation.

gone off. If the light is still on, immediately stop the
engine and check the remedy following the
instruction.
(See CHECK DURING OPERATING on page 26.)

choke partially on until the engine warms up.
For a warm engine
Always push the choke knob in to the "OFF" position
after the engine starts.
