11. Properly dispose of used coolant.
Coolant capacity 24 L
(1) Drain plug
(2) Extension drain hose
(1) Recovery tank
(2) Radiator cap (A) [MAX]
(B) [MIN]
IMPORTANT :
• Do not start the engine without any coolant.
• Use clean, fresh soft water and antifreeze to
fill the radiator and recovery tank.
• When mixing the antifreeze with water, the
antifreeze mixing ratio is 50%.
• Securely tighten the radiator cap. If the cap
is loose or improperly fitted, water may leak
out and the engine could overheat.
NOTE :
• On CAB type machines, coolant circulates
through the heater. This means that one
more litre or so of coolant is required.
In changing coolant, pour coolant up to the
filler port of the recovery tank. Turn on the
heater (shift the temperature control dial
toward “WARM”), and run the engine for a
while in order to warm the coolant. Then
stop the engine.
When the coolant has cooled down, some of
the coolant in the recovery tank is sucked.
Now the recovery tank is appropriately filled
with coolant.
2. Antifreeze
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
• When using antifreeze, put on some protection
such as rubber gloves (antifreeze contains
poison).
• If you swallow the antifreeze, seek immediate
medical help. Do not make a person throw up
unless told to do so by a health care
professional. Use standard first aid and CPR for
signs of shock or cardiac arrest. Call 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 reactions
resulting in 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 a
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 pour it into the
radiator.
