OPERATING THE ENGINE
A
Because of the safety devices, the engine will not start
except when the PTO clutch control lever is placed in
the "OFF" position and main gear shift lever is placed
in the "NEUTRAL" position.
If a lamp is still on, immediately stop the engine and
determine the cause.
COLD WEATHER STARTING
If the ambient temperature is below 0
(32
) and the
engine is very cold, start it in the following manner:
Take steps 1 through 5 above.
Glow plug indicator comes on when the key is turned to
"ON" position and engine coolant temperature is below
0
(32
), and goes off automatically when preheat is
completed.
(If the engine fails to start after 10 seconds, turn off the
key for 30 seconds. Then repeat steps 6 through 8. To
protect the battery and the starter, make sure that the
starter is not continuously turned for more than 10
seconds.)
STOPPING THE ENGINE
A
If key does not stop the engine, consult your local
KUBOTA Dealer.
WARMING UP
To avoid personal injury:
A
Be sure to set the parking brake during warm-
up.
A
Be sure to set all shift levers to the "NEUTRAL"
positions and to place PTO lever in "OFF"
position during warm-up.
For five minutes after engine start-up, allow engine to
warm up without applying any load, this is to allow oil to
reach every engine part. If load should be applied to the
engine without this warm-up period, trouble such as
seizure, breakage or premature wear may develop.
B
Warm-up and Transmission Oil at Low
Temperature Range
Hydraulic oil serves as transmission fluid. In cold weather,
the oil may be cold with increased viscosity. This can
cause delayed oil circulation or abnormally low hydraulic
pressure for some time after engine start-up. This in turn
can result in trouble in the hydraulic system.
To prevent the above, observe the following instructions:
Warm up the engine at about 50 % of rated rpm according
to the table below:
7. Fully depress the clutch pedal.
8. Turn the key to "START" position and
release when the engine starts.
9. Check to see that all the lamps on the
Easy Checker(TM) are "OFF"
.
10. Release the clutch pedal.
6. Turn the key to "ON" position and hold
it until the glow plug indicator turns off.
