Precautions For Washing Whole Machine; Checking The Machine Side And Rear Grills; Draining The Water Separator; Cleaning The Water Separator - Kubota SSV65 Operator's Manual

DAILY CHECKS
• Stop the engine and remove the key before
checking the V-belt.
• Check the V-belt for cracks and proper tension.
See the Adjusting the V-belt tension section.
(See Checking and adjusting the V-belt tension on
page 93)
10. Precautions for washing whole
machine
IMPORTANT :
• Do not wash the machine with the engine
running. Water could enter the air cleaner and
damage the engine.
Make sure that the air cleaner is kept dry.
• Remove the mud before washing the machine.
11. Checking the machine side and
rear grills
1. Check if the machine side and rear grills are
clogged.
If so clean with compressed air or steam.
(1) Side grills (LH and RH)
(1) Rear grills
SSV65,SSV75
(2) Side grill (RH only)
IMPORTANT :
• If the machine is operated with clogged
grills, the temperature in the machine
becomes higher. That will shorten the
service life of the machine parts.

12. Draining the water separator

IMPORTANT :
• When water is collected, the red float goes up.
When the float has reached the specified line,
immediately drain the water separator.
• If the water-separator-error-code
appears on the meter panel, immediately drain
the water separator.
1. Open the rear door.
2. When the separated water is entering the sediment
cup, the red float moves upwards. If the float is 1
inch above the bottom, close the shutoff-valve so
that no fuel can run out.
3. Then loosen the drain plug and let out water until
the float drops down to the bottom.
4. Finally, tighten the drain plug and turn the shutoff-
valve back to its original position.
(1) Screw
(2) Cup
(3) Shutoff-valve
(4) Float
(5) Drain plug
(6) Connector of water level

IMPORTANT :
• In reattaching the water separator, be careful
to keep off dust and dirt.
• Be sure to purge the fuel system before
getting the machine restarted.
(See Purging of the fuel system on page 105)
