Be careful not to empty the fuel tank. Otherwise air may
enter the fuel system.
If air should enter the fuel system, you should bleed it.
(See Bleeding the fuel system on page 100)

NOTE :

• In case the fuel-gauge-system becomes

disconnected, the needle will return to the most
bottom position. If the needle of the fuel gauge
returns  to  the  most  bottom  position,  consult
your local KUBOTA Dealer.
Once  you  turn  off  the  key  switch  and  the  fuel-
gauge-system  returns  to  normal,  the  needle
should point to the normal position again.

To avoid serious injury or death:

• Do not remove radiator cap until coolant

temperature is well below its boiling point. Then
loosen cap slightly to the stop to relieve any
pressure before removing cap completely.
