Checking The Radiator And The Oil Cooler; Checking The V-Belt; Checking The Exhaust System For Leaks - Kubota U17-3a Operating Instructions Manual

Operation

Checking the radiator and the oil cooler


Open the left side cover (page 75).

Check the radiator (2) and oil cooler (1) for leaks and debris
(e.g. leaves).

If there are leaves or other debris between the radiator and
cooler, clean the radiator (page 90).

Checking the V-belt


Open the engine compartment cover under the operator's
seat (page 74).

Check the V-belt (1) for cracks and proper tension. It should
be possible to depress the V-belt for about 10 mm. If the
tension is too low, tighten the V-belt (page 90).

Checking the exhaust system for leaks


Check the exhaust system for leaks and security (formation of cracks).
If the inspection is carried out when the engine is warm, there is a risk of burns at the exhaust
system.

If the exhaust system is leaky or loose, the excavator may only be taken into operation after the defects
are eliminated.
