10. DAILY INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE

10 - 3

P/N 569300

3. Fuel leaks

Visually inspect the entire length of the fuel line,
from the engine to the fuel tank, for leaks.

4. Engine oil

Keep the oil level between the marks on the
dipstick (1).

The distance between the top and bottom
dipstick marks corresponds to about 1 qt. (one
liter). Add oil, if needed at the cap (2) on top of
the engine.

NOTE: See the “SPECIFICATIONS” chapter
for the correct engine oil grade and weight.

5. Engine coolant

The Kubota engine is liquid cooled. At operating
temperatures the coolant should be at the HOT
level (1). When cold there should be
approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) of coolant in the
bottom of the reservoir.

The coolant is half water and half ethylene glycol.

To add coolant:

Turn the engine OFF at the base-control box
panel KEY SWITCH.

Remove the cap (2) from the coolant
reservoir.

Add coolant and replace cap.

6. Radiator cap

Visually check to see that the cap is in place and
tight.
