IMPORTANT: When the anti-freeze is mixed with water, the anti-freeze mixing ratio must be
less than 50%.
**At 1.013x10
5
Pa (760mmHg) pressure (atmospheric). A higher boiling point is obtained by using a radiator pressure cap,
which permits the development of pressure within the cooling system.
NOTE:
•
The above data represents industry standards that necessitate a minimum glycol content
in the concentrated anti-freeze.
•
When the coolant level drops due to evaporation, add water only to keep the anti-freeze
mixing ratio less than 50%. In case of leakage, add anti-freeze and water in the specified
mixing ratio before filling into the radiator.
•
Anti-freeze absorbs moisture. Keep unused anti-freeze in a tightly sealed container.
•
Do not use radiator-cleaning agents when anti-freeze has been added to the coolant. (Anti-
freeze contains an anti-corrosive agent, which will react with the radiator cleaning agent
forming sludge, which will affect the engine parts.)
5-2.3.13 Radiator Cement
As the radiator is solidly constructed, there is little possibility of water leakage. Should this happen,
however, radiator cement can easily fix it. If leakage is serious, contact your local KUBOTA dealer.
5-2.3.14 Air Cleaner
Since the air cleaner employed on this engine is a dry type, never apply oil to it.
1. Open the evacuator valve once a week under ordinary conditions – or daily when used in a dusty
place. This will get rid of large particles of dust and dirt.
2. Wipe the inside air cleaner clean with cloth if it is dirty or wet.
3. Avoid touching the element except when cleaning.
4. When dry dust adheres to the element, blow compressed air from the inside turning the element.
Pressure of compressed air must be under 686kPa (7kg/f/cm
2
, 99psi).
5. When carbon or oil adheres to the element, soak the element in detergent for 15 minutes, then
wash it several times in water, rinse with clean water and dry it naturally.
6. After the element is fully dried, inspect the inside of the element with a light, and check if it is
damaged or not. (Refer to the instructions on
the label attached to the element.)
7. Replace the element every year or every 6
cleanings.

bolt
(4) Evacuator valve
IMPORTANT:
•
Make sure the wing bolt for the element is tight enough. If it is loose, dust and dirt may be
sucked in, wearing down the cylinder liner and piston ring earlier, and thereby resulting in
poor power output.
•
Do not over service the air cleaner element. Over servicing may cause dirt to enter the
engine causing premature wear. Use the dust indicator as a guide on when to service.
