SERVICE PROGRAMME FOR DIESEL ENGINE
KUBOTA D205E DIESEL ENGINE
The diesel engine is Kubota D905E.
The maximum speed of the engine has been adjusted to approx. 2700 rpm. This speed
should not be exceeded. The top speed is needed when driving in difficult terrain. When
adjusting the engine speed, 1500 rpm should be considered as the minimum level. Due to
the variable displacement hydraulic pump the speed of the boom movements does not
change along with the engine speed. In low temperatures, approx. –5°C or below, use the
cold start device to start the engine.
The Kubota Diesel engine has a quick preheating operated with the main switch key.

station depends on whether the engine was started from the platform or from the ground
