NOTE
• Engine Oil :
Oil used in the engine should have an American Petroleum Institute (API) service classification and Proper
SAE Engine Oil according to the ambient temperatures as shown above.
• Fuel :
Gasohol ( up to 10% ethyl alcohol, 90% unleaded gasoline by volume) is approved for the engine. Other
gasoline/ alcohol blends are not approved.
• Transmission oil :
The oil used to lubricate the transmission is also used as hydraulic fluid. To insure proper operation of
the hydraulic system and complete lubrication of the transmission, it is important that a multi-grade
transmission fluid be used in this system. We recommend the use of KUBOTA SUPER UDT fluid for
optimum protection and performance.
Do not mix different brands or grades.
• Brake fluid :
Always use KUBOTA DOT3 GENUINE BRAKE FLUID from a sealed container. If it is not available, you
should use only DOT3 fluid as a temporary replacement from a sealed container.
However, the use of any non-KUBOTA brake fluid can cause corrosion and decrease the lift of the system.
Have the brake system flushed and refilled with KUBOTA DOT3 GENUINE BRAKE FLUID as soon as
possible.
• Indicated capacity of water and oil are manufacturer's estimate.
