4. Gauges
■ Water
The water gauge is located on the ground control
box. It shows the temperature of the wa-
ter-antifreeze mixture in the engine block. The typi-
cal operating-temperature range for Kubota
engines is 180°F to 205°F (82°C to 96°C), both die-
sel and gasoline. (See the “Automatic Shut-Offs &
Circuit Breakers ” chapter 5 for more information.)
■ Air Filter
The air filter gauge is located between the air filter
and the intake manifold. The gauge measures the
vacuum (air pressure) between the intake manifold
and the air filter. As the filter clogs, the vacuum in-
creases (pressure drops). As the vacuum in-
creases, a red indicator raises toward the clear
area of the gauge. When you can see the indicator
in the clear area of the gauge, it’s time to change the
air filter.
The indicator stays at its highest setting, it does not
go to the bottom of the gauge when the engine is
turned off or the filter changed. After the filter is
changed, press the small reset button to reset the
indicator to the bottom of the gauge.
■ Amps
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 condi-
tions, after the engine has been running for a few
minutes, the AMPS gauge should read “0.”
