WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
• Do not dismount the tractor while checking the
parking brake.
Confirm the tractor (tractor unit only) can surely be
parked on the slope of about 15 degrees (slope that
rises by 2.7 meters every 10 meters).
If the tractor moves, consult your local KUBOTA Dealer.
Always engage the parking brake before dismounting
the tractor.
6. Checking battery condition
DANGER
To avoid the possibility of battery explosion:
For the refillable type battery, follow the
instructions below.
• Do not use or charge the refillable type battery
if the fluid level is below the [LOWER] (lower
limit level) mark. Otherwise, battery component
parts may prematurely deteriorate, which may
shorten the battery's service life or cause an
explosion. Check the fluid level regularly and
add distilled water as required so that the fluid
level is between the [UPPER] and [LOWER]
levels.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
• Never remove the battery cap while the engine
is running.
• Keep electrolyte away from eyes, hands, and
clothes. If you are spattered with it, wash it
away completely with water immediately and
get medical attention.
• Keep open sparks and flames away from the
battery at all times. Hydrogen gas mixed with
oxygen becomes very explosive.
• Wear eye protection and rubber gloves when
working around the battery.
NOTE :
• The factory-installed battery is a non-refillable
type. If the indicator turns white, do not charge
the battery but replace it with a new one.
Mishandling the battery shortens the service life and
adds to maintenance costs.
The original battery is maintenance-free, but needs
some servicing.
If the battery is weak, the engine will be difficult to start,
and the lights will be dim. It is important to check the
battery periodically.
