-1SAFE OPERATION

SAFE OPERATION

Careful operation is your best insurance against an

accident.

Read and understand this Operator's Manual carefully

before operating the vehicle.

All operators, no matter how much experience they may

have, should read this and other related manuals before

operating the vehicle or any implement attached to it. It is

the owner's obligation to instruct all operators in safe

operation.

1. Know your equipment and its limitations. Read this

entire manual before attempting to start and operate

the vehicle.

2. Pay special attention to the Danger, Warning and

Caution labels on the vehicle.

3. Do not remove Roll-Over Protective Structures

(ROPS) for any application and fasten seat belts at all

times. This combination will reduce the risk of serious

injury or death, should the vehicle be upset.

If the ROPS is loosened or removed for any reason,

make sure that all parts are reinstalled correctly before

operating the vehicle.

Never modify or repair a ROPS because welding,

bending, drilling, grinding, or cutting may weaken the

structure.

If any structural member of the ROPS is damaged,

replace the entire structure at your local KUBOTA

Dealer.

4. Always use the seat belts. Check the seat belts

regularly and replace if frayed or damaged.

5. Do not operate the vehicle or any implement attached

to it while under the influence of alcohol, medication,

controlled substances or while fatigued.

6. Carefully check the vicinity before operating the

vehicle or any implement attached to it. Check for

overhead clearance which may interfere with the CAB

or ROPS. Do not allow any bystanders around or near

the vehicle during operation.

7. Never allow anyone under age 16 or without a valid

driver's license to operate this vehicle.

8. Before allowing other people to use your vehicle,

explain how to operate and have them read this

manual before operation.

9. Never wear loose, torn, or bulky clothing around the

vehicle. It may catch on moving parts or controls,

leading to the risk of an accident. Use additional safety

items, e.g. helmet, safety boots or shoes, eye and

hearing protection, gloves, etc., as appropriate or

required.

10.This vehicle is for off road use only.

KUBOTA does not recommend operating on public

roads.

11.In addition to the driver, only 1 passenger should ride

in the vehicle.

Minimum age for passenger is 5 years old.

12.Keep all shields in place and stay away from all

moving parts.

13.Check brakes, speed control pedal, and other

mechanical parts for improper adjustment and wear.

Replace worn or damaged parts promptly. Check the

tightness of all nuts and bolts regularly. (For further

details, see "MAINTENANCE" section.)

14.Keep your vehicle clean. Dirt, grease, and trash build

up may contribute to fires and lead to personal injury.

15.Use only implements meeting the specifications listed

under "VEHICLE LIMITATIONS" in this manual or

implements approved by KUBOTA.

16.The maximum cargo capacity of this vehicle is 500 kg

(1100 lbs.). Reduce cargo capacity to match operating

conditions.

Avoid top-heavy loading and ensure that the center-of-

gravity remains as low as possible.

Do not carry anything which sticks outside the cargo

bed.

17.Do not modify the vehicle. Unauthorized modification

may affect the function of the vehicle, which may result

in personal injury.

18.Do not carry small children on lap.

1. BEFORE OPERATING THE VEHICLE

(1) ROPS

(2) Seat belt

SAFE OPERATION-2

Operator safety is a priority. Safe operation, specifically

with respect to overturning hazards, entails understanding

the equipment and environmental conditions at the time of

use. Some prohibited uses which can affect overturning

hazards include traveling and turning with implements

and loads carried too high etc. This manual sets forth

some of the obvious risks, but the list is not, and cannot

be, exhaustive. It is the operator's responsibility to be alert

for any equipment or environmental condition that could

compromise safe operation.

CStarting

1. Always sit in the operator's seat when starting engine

or operating levers or controls.

2. Before starting the engine, make sure that all levers

are in their neutral positions, that the parking brake is

engaged, and that the hydraulic outlet (if equipped) is

OFF. And make sure the engine hand throttle (if

equipped) is in its idle engine speed position.

3. Do not start engine by shorting across starter

terminals or bypassing the safety start switch. The

vehicle may start in gear and move if normal starting

circuitry is bypassed.

4. Be sure that the operator (and passenger) are properly

positioned and seat belts are appropriately fastened.

5. Do not operate or idle engine in a non-ventilated area.

Carbon monoxide gas is colorless, odorless, and

deadly.

COperating

1. Always wear the seat belt when operating the unit.

2. Do not wear headphones while operating.

3. Pull only from the trailer hitch (if equipped). Never hitch

to any other point except trailer hitch; such

arrangements will increase the risk of serious personal

injury or death due to a vehicle upset.

4. Keep all shields and guards in place. Replace any that

are missing or damaged.

5. Avoid sudden starts. To avoid rollovers, slow down

when turning, on uneven ground, and before stopping.

While increasing engine speed with the engine hand

throttle (if equipped), operate the speed control pedal

with great care to avoid sudden starts.

6. The vehicle cannot turn with the differential locked and

attempting to do so could be dangerous.

7. Do not operate near ditches, holes, embankments, or

other ground surface features which may collapse

under the vehicle's weight. The risk of vehicle upset is

even higher when the ground is loose or wet.

8. Watch where you are going at all times. Watch for and

avoid obstacles. Be alert at row ends, near trees, and

other obstructions.

9. When working in groups, always let the others know

what you are going to do before you do it.

10.Never try to get on or off a moving vehicle.

11.Do not stand between vehicle and trailer unless

parking brake is applied.

CSafety for children

Tragedy can occur if the operator is not alert to the

presence of children. Children generally are attracted to

vehicles and the work they do.

1. Never assume that children will remain where you last

saw them.

2. Keep children out of the work area and under the

watchful eye of another responsible adult.

3. Be alert and shut your vehicle down if children enter

the work area.

4. Never carry children in the cargo bed. There is no safe

place for them to ride. No person under the age of 5

may ride as a passenger in this vehicle. A passenger

under 5 years of age requires special restraints which

are not available with this vehicle.

5. Never allow children to operate the vehicle even under

adult supervision.

6. Never allow children to play on the vehicle or on the

implement.

7. Use extra caution when backing up. Look behind and

down to make sure area is clear before moving.

8. Whenever possible, park your vehicle on a firm, flat

and level surface. If this is not possible, park it across

the slope. Set the parking brake(s), lower the

implements to the ground, remove the key from the

ignition and lock the door (if equipped) and chock the

wheels.

COperating on slopes

Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and tip-

over accidents, which can result in severe injury or death.

All slopes require extra caution.

1. Travel straight up or down hill.

2. Reduce load when operating on hilly or over rough

terrain.

3. Keep front wheels straight at crest of hill or going over

bumps.

2. OPERATING THE VEHICLE

(1) Trailer hitch (if equipped)

-3SAFE OPERATION

4. Do not stop or start suddenly when going uphill or

downhill. Be especially cautious when changing

direction on slopes.

5. If vehicle stops or loses power going up a hill, lock

parking brake to hold vehicle on slope. Maintain

direction of travel and release brake slowly. Back

straight downhill while maintaining control. Do not turn

vehicle sideways. Vehicle is more stable in a straight

forward or rearward position.

6. When riding on soft terrain, turn front wheels slightly

uphill to keep vehicle on a straight line across the hill.

7. If the vehicle begins to tip, turn front wheels downhill to

gain control before proceeding.

(1) To avoid upsets, always back up steep slopes. If

you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy

on it, do not operate on it. Stay off slopes too

steep for safe operation.

(2) Driving forward out of a ditch, mired condition or

up a steep slope increases the risk of a vehicle to

be upset backward. Always back out of these

situations. Extra caution is required with 4-wheel

drive mode because the increased traction can

give the operator false confidence in the vehicle's

ability to climb slopes.

(3) Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual.

Do not make sudden changes in speed, direction

or apply brake and make sudden motions of the

steering wheel.

(4) Special attention should be made to the weight

and location of implements and loads as such will

affect the stability of the vehicle.

COperation in inclement conditions

1. Only operate during daylight or with good artificial

light.

2. Operate vehicle in an open, unobstructed area.

3. Use helmet and/or protective gear as appropriate or

required for the operating conditions.

4. Reduce speed according to trail, terrain and visibility

conditions.

5. Never drive exceeding the limit of visibility. Slow down

near crest of hill until getting a clear view of the other

side.

6. Stay alert for holes, rocks and other hidden hazards in

the terrain.

7. Never cross any body of water where depth may be

unknown to the operator (Deep water is considered

anything in excess the bottom edge of the axle cap).

Choose a course within the waterway where both

banks have a gradual incline. Cross at a point known

to be safe.

CDriving the vehicle at high speeds

1. Check the front wheel engagement. The braking

characteristics are different between 2 and 4 wheel

drive. Be aware of the difference and use carefully.

2. Always slow the vehicle down before turning. Turning

at high speed may tip the vehicle over.

3. Turn the headlights on.

4. Drive at speeds that allow you to maintain control at all

times.

5. Do not apply the differential lock while traveling at high

speeds. The vehicle may run out of control.

6. Avoid sudden motions of the steering wheel as they

can lead to a dangerous loss of stability. The risk is

especially great when the vehicle is traveling at high

speeds.

COther miscellaneous

1. Clean platform if dirty and remove any debris from

around foot controls.

2. Always keep both hands on the steering wheel.

3. Always keep arms and legs inside the operating

compartment.

4. Never operate the vehicle while standing.

5. Do not tow a cart with any riders on it.

6. Never attempt wheelies, jumps or other stunts.

1. No riders in cargo bed or anywhere else.

2. Do not overload vehicle. Securely anchor all loads.

3. Be sure load is evenly distributed.

4. Reduce cargo capacity when operating on rough or

hilly terrain.

5. Balance loads evenly and secure them. Braking could

shift the load and affect vehicle stability.

6. Never operate vehicle with the cargo bed raised.

7. Operate cargo bed dump with vehicle stationary and

parking brake locked. Do not dump while moving.

8. Operate hydraulic dump (if equipped) on level ground

only.

9. Operate dump from operator's seat only.

10.Do not place hands or body under the cargo bed when

lowering bed.

1. Before installing or using hydraulic outlet driven

equipment, read the manufacturer's manual and

review the safety labels attached to the equipment.

2. Wait until all moving components have completely

stopped before getting off the vehicle, connecting,

disconnecting, adjusting, cleaning, or servicing any

hydraulically driven equipment.

3. When operating stationary hydraulically driven

equipment, always apply the vehicle parking brake

and place chocks behind and in front of the rear

wheels. Stay clear of all rotating parts. Never step over

rotating parts.

3. HAULING LOADS IN THE CARGO BED

4. OPERATING HYDRAULIC OUTLET

DRIVEN EQUIPMENT (IF EQUIPPED)

SAFE OPERATION-4

1. Make sure the HYDRAULIC OUTLET is off (if

equipped), lower all implements to the ground, place

all control levers in their neutral positions, set the

parking brake, stop the engine, and remove the key.

2. Make sure that the vehicle has come to a complete

stop before dismounting.

3. Avoid parking on steep slopes, if at all possible park on

a firm and level surface; if not, park across a slope with

chock the wheels and always with attachment on the

ground.

Failure to comply with this warning may allow the

vehicle to move and could cause injury or death.

1. Disengage power to attachment(s) when transporting

or not in use.

2. Do not tow this vehicle. Use a suitable truck or trailer

when transporting on public roads.

3. Use extra care when loading or unloading the vehicle

into a trailer or truck.

Before servicing the vehicle, park it on a firm, flat and level

surface, set the parking brake, lower all implements to the

ground, place the range gear shift lever in neutral, stop the

engine and remove the key.

1. Allow the vehicle time to cool off before working on or

near the engine, muffler, radiator, etc.

2. Always stop the engine before refueling. Avoid spills

and overfilling.

3. Do not smoke when working around battery or when

refueling. Keep all sparks and flames away from

battery and fuel tank. The battery presents an

explosive hazard, because it gives off hydrogen and

oxygen especially when recharging.

4. Before "jump starting" a dead battery, read and follow

all of the instructions. (See "JUMP STARTING" in

"OPERATING THE ENGINE" section.)

5. Keep first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy at all

times.

6. Disconnect the battery's ground cable before working

on or near electric components.

7. To avoid the possibility of battery explosion, do not use

or charge the refillable type battery if the fluid level is

below the LOWER (lower limit level) mark. Check the

fluid level regularly and add distilled water as required

so that the fluid level is between the UPPER and

LOWER marks.

8. To avoid sparks from an accidental short circuit,

always disconnect the battery's ground cable (-) first

and reconnect it last.

9. Do not remove radiator cap while coolant is hot. When

cool, slowly rotate cap to the first stop and allow

sufficient time for excess pressure to escape before

removing the cap completely. This vehicle has a

coolant recovery tank, add coolant or water to the tank,

not the radiator. (See "Checking Coolant Level" in

"DAILY CHECK" in "PERIODIC SERVICE" section.)

10.Do not attempt to mount a tire on a rim. This should be

done by a qualified person with the proper equipment.

11.Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not

inflate tires above the recommended pressure shown

in the operator's manual.

12.Securely support the vehicle when changing wheels.

13.Make sure that wheel bolts and nuts have been

tightened to the specified torque.

14.Do not work under any hydraulically supported

devices. They can settle, suddenly leak down, or be

accidentally lowered. If it is necessary to work under

the vehicle or any vehicle elements for servicing or

adjustment, securely support them with stands or

suitable blocking beforehand.

15.Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure has sufficient

force to penetrate skin causing serious personal injury.

Before disconnecting hydraulic lines, be sure to

release all residual pressure. Before applying

pressure to the hydraulic system, make sure that all

connections are tight and that all lines, pipes, and

hoses are free of damage.

"High pressure fluid - Injection into body" hazard

warning.

16.Fluid escaping from pinholes may be invisible. Do not

use hands to search for suspected leaks; use a piece

of cardboard or wood. Use of safety goggles or other

eye protection is also highly recommended. If injured

by escaping fluid, see a medical doctor at once. This

fluid will produce gangrene or severe allergic reaction.

17.Waste products such as used oil, fuel, hydraulic fluid,

and batteries, can harm the environment, people, pets

13OPERATING THE ENGINE

CEasy Checker(TM) Lamps:

1. When the key is turned "ON", lamps(3)(4) should

come on. If trouble should occur at any location while

the engine is running, the warning lamp corresponding

to that location comes on.

2. The parking brake warning lamp(1) comes on while

parking brake is applied and goes off when it is

released.

If the parking brake is released but the lamp stays on,

it means that the brake system may be damaged.

ADaily checks with the Easy Checker(TM) only, are not

sufficient. Never fail to conduct daily checks carefully

by referring to "DAILY CHECK" in "PERIODIC

SERVICE" section.

For the appropriate preheating time, refer to the table

below:

AGlow plug indicator(5) comes on while key switch is in

the "GLOW" position.

ABecause of safety devices, the engine will not start

except when the range gear shift lever is placed in the

"NEUTRAL" position.

2. Return the engine hand throttle (if equipped) to its idle

engine speed position.

3. Remove the key.

WARMING UP

To avoid serious injury:

ABe sure to set the parking brake during warm-

up.

ABe sure to set the range shift lever to the

"NEUTRAL" position and lock both the

hydraulic lift cylinder and the hydraulic outlet

levers to the "OFF" position with restricting

plate (if equipped) during warm-up.

For 5 minutes after engine start-up, allow engine to warm

up without applying any load. This is to allow oil to reach

every part of the engine. If load should be applied to the

engine without this warm-up period, problems may

develop such as seizure, breakage or premature wear

may develop.

BWarm-Up Transmission Oil in the Low

Temperature Range

Hydraulic oil serves as transmission fluid. In cold weather,

the oil may be cold with increased viscosity. This can

cause delayed oil circulation or abnormally low hydraulic

pressure for some time after engine start-up. This in turn

can create problems with the hydraulic system.

To prevent the above, observe the following instructions:

Warm up the engine at about 50% of rated rpm according

to the table below:

ADo not operate the vehicle under full load condition

until it is sufficiently warmed up.

JUMP STARTING

To avoid serious injury:

AKeep cigarettes, sparks, and flames away from

battery.

AIf vehicle battery is frozen, do not jump start

engine.

ADo not connect other end of negative jumper

cable to negative terminal of vehicle battery.

AThe parts such as the muffler may be hot. Be

careful not to get burned in connecting jumper

cables.

When jump starting the engine, follow the instructions

below to safely start the engine.

1. Bring helper vehicle with a battery of the same voltage

as the disabled vehicle within easy cable reach. "THE

VEHICLES MUST NOT TOUCH".

2. Engage the parking brake of both vehicles and put the

shift lever in neutral. Shut the engine off.

3. Put on safety goggles and rubber gloves.

4. Ensure the vent caps are securely in place. (if

equipped)

5. Attach the red clamp to the positive (red, (+) or pos.)

terminal of the dead battery and clamp the other end

of the same cable to the positive (red, (+) or pos.)

terminal of the helper battery.

6. Clamp the other cable to the negative (black, (-) or

neg.) terminal of the helper battery.

7. Clamp the other end to the engine block or frame of

the disabled vehicle as far from the dead battery as

possible.

8. Start the helper vehicle and let its engine run for a few

moments. Start the disabled vehicle.

9. Disconnect the jumper cables in the exact reverse

order of attachment. (Steps 7, 6 and 5).

16 OPERATING THE VEHICLE

OPERATING THE VEHICLE

OPERATING NEW VEHICLE

How a new vehicle is handled and maintained determines

the life of the vehicle.

A new vehicle just off the factory production line has been

tested, but the various parts are not accustomed to each

other, so care should be taken to operate the vehicle for

the first 50 hours at a slower speed and avoid excessive

work or operation until the various parts become "broken-

in." The manner in which the vehicle is handled during the

"breaking-in." period greatly affects the life of your vehicle.

Therefore, to obtain the maximum performance and the

longest life of the vehicle, it is very important to properly

break-in your vehicle. In handling a new vehicle, the

following precautions should be observed.

BDo not Operate the Vehicle at Full Speed

for the First 50 Hours

ADo not start quickly nor apply the brakes suddenly.

AIn winter, operate the vehicle after fully warming up the

engine.

ADo not run the engine at speeds faster than

necessary.

AOn rough roads, slow down to suitable speeds.

Do not operate the vehicle at fast speed. The above

precautions are not limited only to new vehicles, but to

all vehicles. But it should be especially observed in the

case of new vehicles.

BChanging Lubricating Oil for New

Vehicles

The lubricating oil is especially important in the case of a

new vehicle. The various parts are not "broken-in" and are

not accustomed to each other. Small pieces of metal grit

may develop during the operation of the vehicle; and this

may wear out or damage the parts. Therefore, care should

be taken to change the lubricating oil a little earlier than

would ordinarily be required. For further details of change

interval hours, see "MAINTENANCE" section.

STARTING

BLocking and Unlocking the Door

BAdjusting Alternator Belt Tension

To avoid serious injury:

ABe sure to stop the engine before checking belt

tension.

1. Park the vehicle on a flat surface, open the seat,

remove utility box and maintenance cover.

2. Stop the engine.

3. Apply moderate thumb pressure to belt between

pulleys.

4. If tension is incorrect, loosen the alternator mounting

bolts and, using a lever placed between the alternator

and the engine block, pull the alternator out until the

deflection of the belt falls within acceptable limits.

5. Replace alternator belt if it is damaged.

BChecking Fuel Line and Fuel Filter

To avoid serious injury:

ABe sure to stop the engine and remove the key

when attempting to make the following checks

and changes.

ANever fail to check the fuel lines periodically.

The fuel lines are subject to wear and aging.

Fuel may leak out onto the running engine,

causing a fire.

The fuel line connections should be checked annually or

every 100 service hours, whichever comes first.

1. Park the vehicle on a flat surface, raise the cargo bed,

mount the safety support and shut off the engine.

2. The fuel line is made of rubber and ages regardless of

service period.

3. If the fuel line and clamps are found to be damaged or

deteriorated, replace them.

4. Check fuel filter, if it is clogged by debris or

contaminated with water, replace it.

AWhen the fuel line is disconnected for maintenance or

repair, close both ends of the fuel line with a piece of

clean cloth or paper to prevent dust and dirt from

entering. In addition, particular care must be taken not

to admit dust and dirt into the fuel pump. Entrance of

even a small amount of dust or dirt cause premature

wear and malfunction of the fuel pump and injector

components.

BChecking Battery Condition

To avoid the possibility of battery explosion:

For the refillable type battery, follow the

instructions below.

ADo not use or charge the refillable type battery

if the fluid level is below the LOWER (lower limit

level) mark. Otherwise, the battery component

parts may prematurely deteriorate, which may

shorten the battery's service life or cause an

explosion. Check the fluid level regularly and

add distilled water as required so that the fluid

level is between the UPPER and LOWER levels.

To avoid serious injury or death:

AWhen the battery is being activated, hydrogen

and oxygen gases in the battery are extremely

explosive. Keep open sparks and flames away

from the battery at all times, especially when

charging the battery.

To avoid serious injury:

ABatteries, battery posts, terminals and related

accessories contain lead and lead compounds,

and other chemicals known to the State of

California to cause cancer and birth defects or

other reproductive harm. WASH HANDS

AFTER HANDLING.

ANever remove the battery cap while the engine

is running.

AKeep electrolyte away from eyes, hands and

clothes. If you are spattered with it, wash it

away completely with water immediately and

get medical attention.

AKeep open sparks and flames away from the

battery at all times. Hydrogen gas mixed with

oxygen becomes very explosive.

AWear eye protection and rubber gloves when

working around battery.

The factory-installed battery is non-refillable type.

If the battery is weak, charge the battery or replace it

with new one.

65PERIODIC SERVICE

AMishandling the battery shortens the service life and

adds to maintenance costs.

The original battery is maintenance free, but needs

some servicing.

If the battery is weak, the engine will be difficult to start

and the lights will be dim. It is important to check the

battery periodically.

AWhen exchanging an old battery for new one, use

battery of equal specification in table below.

(For non-accessible maintenance-free type batteries.)

Maintenance-free, non-accessible batteries are designed

to eliminate the need to add water. Yet the volume of

electrolyte above plates may eventually become depleted

due to abnormal conditions such as high heat or improper

regulator setting. Use a voltmeter to check the state of

charge. (See reference chart below to determine if

charging is necessary.)

CBattery Charging

To avoid serious injury or death:

AWhen the battery is being activated, hydrogen

and oxygen gases in the battery are extremely

explosive. Keep open sparks and flames away

from the battery at all times, especially when

charging the battery.

To avoid serious injury:

AWhen disconnecting the cable from the battery,

start with the negative terminal first. When

connecting the cable to the battery, start with

the positive terminal first.

ANever check battery charge by placing a metal

object across the posts.

Use a voltmeter or hydrometer.

1. Park the vehicle on a flat surface.

2. Stop the engine.

3. Remove the battery cover.

4. To slow charge the battery, connect the battery

positive terminal to the charger positive terminal and

the negative to the negative, then recharge in the

standard fashion.

5. A boost charge is only for emergencies. It will partially

charge the battery at a high rate and in a short time.

When using a boost-charged battery, it is necessary to

recharge the battery as early as possible.

Failure to do this will shorten the battery's service life.

6. When exchanging an old battery for a new one, use

battery of equal specification shown in table 1.

CDirection for Storage

1. When storing the vehicle for a long period, remove the

battery from vehicle, adjust the electrolyte to the

proper level (refillable type only) and store in a dry

place out of direct sunlight.

2. The battery self-discharges while it is stored.

Recharge it once every 3 months in hot seasons and

once every 6 months in cold seasons.

BAnti-Freeze

To avoid serious injury:

AWhen using anti-freeze, put on some protection

such as rubber gloves. (Anti-freeze contains

poison.)

AIf it is swallowed, seek immediate medical help.

Do NOT make a person throw up unless told to

do so by poison control or a health care

professional. Use standard first aid and CPR

for signs of shock or cardiac arrest. Call your

local Poison Control Center or your local

emergency number for further assistance.

AWhen anti-freeze comes in contact with the

skin or clothing, wash it off immediately.

ADo not mix different types of Anti-freeze.

The mixture can produce chemical reaction

causing harmful substances.

AAnti-freeze is extremely flammable and

explosive under certain conditions. Keep fire

and children away from anti-freeze.

AWhen draining fluids from the engine, place

some container underneath the engine body.

ADo not pour waste onto the ground, down a

drain, or into any water source.

AAlso, observe the relevant environmental

protection regulations when disposing of anti-

freeze.

Always use a 50/50 mix of long-life coolant and clean soft

water in KUBOTA engines.

Consult your local KUBOTA dealer concerning coolant for

extreme conditions.

1. Long-life coolant (hereafter LLC) comes in several

types. Use ethylene glycol (EG) type for this engine.

2. Before employing LLC-mixed cooling water, fill the

radiator with fresh water and empty it again.

Repeat this procedure 2 or 3 times to clean up the

inside.

3. Mixing the LLC

Premix 50% LLC with 50% clean soft water. When

mixing, stir it up well, and then fill into the radiator.

4. The procedure for the mixing of water and anti-freeze

differs according to the make of the anti-freeze and the

ambient temperature. Refer to SAE J1034 standard,

more specifically also to SAE J814c.

AWhen mixing the anti-freeze with water, the anti-freeze

mixing ratio is 50%.

* At 1.013 x 10 Pa (760 mmHg) pressure (atmospheric).

A higher boiling point is obtained by using a radiator

pressure cap which permits the development of pressure

within the cooling system.

5. Adding the LLC

(1) Add only water if the coolant level reduces in the

cooling system by evaporation.

(2) If there is a mixture leak, add the LLC of the same

manufacturer and type in the mixing ratio 50%.

6. When the LLC is mixed, do not employ any radiator

cleaning agent. The LLC contains anti-corrosive

agent. If mixed with the cleaning agent, sludge may

build up, adversely affecting the engine parts.

7. Kubota's genuine long-life coolant has a service life of

86 STORAGE

STORAGE

To avoid serious injury:

ADo not clean the vehicle with engine running.

ATo avoid the danger of exhaust fume

poisoning, do not operate the engine in a

closed building without proper ventilation.

AWhen storing, remove the key from the ignition

switch to avoid unauthorized persons from

operating the vehicle and getting injured.

VEHICLE STORAGE

If you intend to store your vehicle for an extended period

of time, follow the procedures outlined below.

These procedures will insure that the vehicle is ready to

operate with minimum preparation when it is removed

from storage.

1. Check the bolts and nuts for looseness, and tighten if

necessary.

2. Apply grease to vehicle areas where bare metal will

rust also to pivot areas.

3. Unload the cargo bed.

4. Inflate the tires to a pressure a little higher than usual.

5. Change the engine oil and run the engine to circulate

oil throughout the engine block and internal moving

parts for about 5 minutes.

6. With all implements lowered to the ground, coat any

exposed hydraulic cylinder piston rods with grease.

7. Remove the battery from the vehicle. Store the battery

following the battery storage procedures.

(See "Checking Battery Condition" in "EVERY 100

HOURS" in "PERIODIC SERVICE" section.)

8. Keep the vehicle in a dry place where the vehicle is

sheltered from the elements. Cover the vehicle.

9. Store the vehicle indoors in a dry area that is protected

from sunlight and excessive heat. If the vehicle must

be stored outdoors, cover it with a waterproof

tarpaulin.

Put boards under the tires to keep dampness away

from tire.

Keep the tires out of direct sunlight and extreme heat.

AWhen washing the vehicle, be sure to stop the engine.

Allow sufficient time for the engine to cool before

washing.

ADo not wash with a high-pressure car-washing

machine.

ACover the vehicle after the muffler and the engine have

cooled down.

REMOVING THE VEHICLE FROM

STORAGE

1. Check the tire air pressure and inflate the tires if they

are low.

2. Install the battery. Before installing the battery, be sure

it is fully charged.

3. Check the alternator belt tension.

4. Check all fluid levels (engine oil, transmission oil,

hydraulic oil, brake fluid, engine coolant and any

attached implements).

5. Start the engine. Observe all gauges. If all gauges are

functioning properly and reading normal, move the

vehicle outside. Once outside, park the vehicle and let

the engine idle for at least 5 minutes. Shut the engine

off and walk around vehicle and make a visual

inspection looking for evidence of oil or water leaks.

6. With the engine fully warmed up, release the parking

brake and test the brakes for proper adjustment as you

move forward. Adjust the brakes as necessary.
