Fuel Check
Fill the fuel tank with #2 diesel fuel. DO NOT fi ll the tank
beyond capacity.
Pay attention to the fuel tank capacity when replenishing
fuel. Refer to the fuel tank capacity listed in Table 2.
The fuel tank cap must be closed tightly after fi lling. Handle
fuel in a safety container. If the container does not have a
spout, use a funnel.
1. Read the fuel gauge located on top of the generator
(Figure 10) to determin if the fuel level is low.
Figure 10. Fuel Gauge
2. If fuel is low, remove the fuel cap (Figure 11) located

DANGER
Motor fuels are highly fl ammable and can
be dangerous if mishandled. DO NOT
smoke while refueling. DO NOT attempt
to refuel the generator if the engine is hot!,

INSPECTION/SETUP
Coolant (Antifreeze)
Kubota recommends Antifreeze/Summer Coolant for use
in thier engines, which can be purchased in concentrate
(and mixed with 50% demineralized water) or pre-diluted.
See the Kubota Engine Owner's Manual for further details
Day-to-day addition of coolant is done from the recovery
tank. When adding coolant to the radiator, DO NOT remove
the radiator cap until the unit has completely cooled. See
Table 6 for engine, radiator, and recovery tank coolant
capacities. Make sure the coolant level in the recovery tank
is always between the "H" and the "L" markings.
Operation Freezing Weather
When operating in freezing weather, be certain the proper
amount of antifreeze (Table 7) has been added.
NOTICE
When refueling, be sure to use a strainer for fi ltration.
DO NOT top-off fuel. DO NOT fi ll the tank beyond
capacity. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately!
WARNING
If adding coolant/antifreeze mix to the
radiator, DO NOT remove the radiator cap
until the unit has completely cooled. The
possibility of hot! coolant exists which can
cause severe burns
