SAFE OPERATION 8. CAUTIONS AGAINST BURNS & BATTERY EXPLOSION A To avoid burns, be cautious of hot components, e.g. muffler, muffler cover, radiator, hoses, engine body, coolants, engine oil, etc. during operation and after the engine has been shut off. A DO NOT remove the radiator cap while the engine is running or immediately after stopping.

PRE-OPERATION CHECK PRE-OPERATION CHECK BREAK-IN During the engine break-in period, observe the following by all means: 1. Change engine oil and oil filter cartridge after the first 50 hours of operation. (See "ENGINE OIL" in "PERIODIC SERVICE" section.) 2. When ambient temperature is low, operate the machine after the engine has been completely warmed up. DAILY CHECK To prevent trouble from occurring, it is important to know the conditions of the engine well.
OPERATING THE ENGINE OPERATING THE ENGINE STARTING THE ENGINE(NORMAL) 1. Set the fuel lever to the "ON" position.

MAINTENANCE SERVICE INTERVALS Observe the following for service and maintenance. The lubricating oil change intervals listed in the table below are for Class CF lubricating oil of API classification with a low-sulfur fuel in use. If the CF-4, CG-4, CH-4 or CI-4 lubricating oil is used with a high-sulfur fuel, change the lubri- cating oil at shorter intervals than recommended in the table below depending on the operating condition.
Page 21
A DO NOT USE Fuels that have sulfur content greater than 1.0 % (10000 ppm). A Since KUBOTA diesel engines of less than 56 kW (75 hp) utilize EPA Tier 4 and Interim Tier 4 standards, the use of low sulfur fuel or ultra low sulfur fuel is mandatory for these engines, when operated in US EPA regulated areas.

PERIODIC SERVICE [GRAVITY FEED SYSTEM] A Be sure to use a strainer when filling the fuel tank, or dirt or sand in the fuel may cause trouble in the fuel injection pump. A For fuel, always use diesel fuel. You are required not to use alternative fuel, because its quality is unknown or it may be inferior in quality.
PERIODIC SERVICE BChecking the fuel pipes BCleaning the fuel filter pot CAUTION Every 100 hours of operation, clean the fuel filter in a clean place to prevent dust intrusion. To avoid personal injury; 1. Close the fuel filter lever. A Check or replace the fuel pipes after stopping the engine.
