(1) Drain plug (2) Front skid plate
(1) Radiator cap
(2) Recovery tank (A) [FULL]
(B) [LOW]
(1) Engine coolant breather (left)
(2) Engine coolant breather (right)
IMPORTANT :
• Do not start engine without coolant.
• Do not remove the cap on the radiator.
• Use clean, fresh distilled water and anti-
freeze to fill the radiator and recovery tank.
• When the anti-freeze is mixed with distilled
water, the anti-freeze mixing ratio is 50%.
• Securely tighten radiator cap. If the cap is
loose or improperly fitted, water may leak
out and the engine could overheat.
• Make sure that the engine coolant breather
is closed, after filling the coolant.
3. Antifreeze
WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death:
• When using antifreeze, put on some protection
such as rubber gloves. (Antifreeze contains
poison.)
• If it is swallowed, seek immediate medical help.
Do not make a person throw up unless told to
do so by poison control or a health care
professional. Use standard first aid and CPR for
signs of shock or cardiac arrest. Call your local
poison control center or your local emergency
number for further assistance.
• When antifreeze comes in contact with the skin
or clothing, wash it off immediately.
• Do not mix different types of antifreeze.
The mixture can produce chemical reaction
causing harmful substances.
• Antifreeze is extremely flammable and
explosive under certain conditions. Keep fire
and children away from antifreeze.
• When draining fluids from the engine, place
some container underneath the engine body.
• Do not pour waste onto the ground, down a
drain, or into any water source.
• Also, observe the relevant environmental
protection regulations when disposing of
antifreeze.
Always use a 50/50 mix of long-life coolant and clean
soft water in KUBOTA engines.
Consult your local KUBOTA Dealer concerning coolant
for extreme conditions.
1. Long-life coolant (hereafter LLC) comes in several
types. Use ethylene glycol (EG) type for this engine.
2. Before employing LLC-mixed cooling water, fill the
radiator with fresh water and empty it again. Repeat
this procedure 2 or 3 times to clean up the inside.
3. Mixing the LLC
Premix 50% LLC with 50% clean soft water. When
mixing, stir it up well, and then fill into the radiator.
