Checking The Fuel Level; Checking The Engine Oil Level - Kubota SSV65 Operator's Manual

MAINTENANCE
1. Check to see that the coolant level is between the
[FULL] and [LOW] marks of recovery tank.
When the coolant level drops due to evaporation,
add water only up to the full level.
In case of leakage, add antifreeze and water in the
specified mixing ratio up to the full level.
(1) Recovery tank
IMPORTANT :
• Do not fill the recovery tank over the [FULL]
marking.
• Do not fill with dirty or salty water.

3. Checking the fuel level

WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
• Stop the engine and remove the key before
fueling.
• Do not smoke while fueling.
IMPORTANT :
• According to the temperatures, use the proper
diesel fuel as follows.
Temperatures
Over -5 ℃
Under -5 ℃
• Make sure that the fuel tank will not run empty.
Air will enter the fuel system, and must be
purged before restarting engine.
• Be very attentive to the remaining fuel for the
engine not to stall. If the engine stalls, it may
not restart for some time to protect the
emission purifying device.
• See Purging of the fuel system on page 105.
• To prevent condensation (water) accumulations
in the fuel tank, fill the fuel tank full before
parking overnight.
1. Turn the starter key to the [RUN] position.

4. Checking the engine oil level

WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
• Stop the engine and remove the key before
checking the oil level.
IMPORTANT :
• Use the engine oil with the correct viscosity
according to the outside temperature.
• After stopping the engine and remove the key,
wait five minutes, then check the oil level. Park
the machine on level ground.
• A small amount of fuel that is used for the DPF-
regeneration may get mixed with the engine oil,
which can increase the oil level slightly.
• Do not repeat or interrupt the DPF-regeneration
process unnecessarily.
interruption of the process may increase the
small amount of fuel that gets mixed with the
engine oil, thereby degrading it.
• If the oil rises above the oil level gauge upper
limit, it means that the oil has been diluted too
much, resulting in a trouble. In such case,
immediately change the oil for new one.
To check the oil level, follow the following procedure.
1. Draw out the dipstick.
2. Wipe the dipstick clean.
3. Replace the dipstick.
4. Draw the dipstick out again.
