4. Gauges
■ Water
Figure 4.1 - Water Temperature Gauge
The wa ter gauge is lo cated on the ground con trol
box. It shows the tem
per a ture of the wa -
ter-antifreeze mix ture in the en gine block. The typ i -
cal op
er at ing-temperature range for Kubota
en gines is 180°F to 205°F (82°C to 96°C), both die -
sel and gas o line. (See the “Au to matic Shut-Offs &
Cir cuit Breakers ” chap ter 5 for more in for ma tion.)
■ Amps
Figure 4.2 - Ammeter Gauge
The AMPS gauge shows the electric current from
the alternator to the battery. When the engine is
running, the needle in the AMPS gauge should not
be to the left of “0.” Under normal operating
conditions, after the engine has been running for a
few minutes, the AMPS gauge should read “0.”
■ Engine Oil
Engine oil level is measured with a dipstick. Oil
capacities given in the “Specifications” chapter 3
are approximate. True values will vary from
machine to machine due to slight variations or
modifications during production.
● The oil dipstick is the only way to
accurately gauge if the engine oil level is
correct.
● Engine oil level should always be between
the lines on the dipstick - never above the
top line or below the bottom line.

and Diesel Engines
■ Hydraulic Oil Level
Figure 4.4 - Hydraulic Oil Level
The hydraulic-oil level gauge is on the side of the
hydraulic oil tank. It shows the actual level of oil
inside the tank. Read it only when the platform is
completely down. Otherwise, the lift cylinders
become large reservoirs for hydraulic oil and the oil
level in the tank will be low. The oil level should be
within ( 0.25 inches, 6.4 mm) of the line.
