Checking Brake Fluid Level

To avoid personal injury:

A

Never operate the vehicle, if the brake fluid is
below the "MIN" mark.

A

Use only KUBOTA DOT3 GENUINE BRAKE
FLUID from a sealed container. Using other
type of oil ruins synthetic resin or rubber
installed in brake system components, and
may cause brake failure.

A

Avoid contamination of the brake fluid.
Thoroughly clean area around the filler cap
before removing. Do not open the brake fluid
reservoir cap unless absolutely necessary.

A

Use extreme care when filling the reservoir. If
brake fluid is spilled on power steering hose,
wash off with water immediately. Brake fluid
quickly ruins synthetic resin or rubber hoses.

1. Park the vehicle on a level ground and open the hood.
2. Check to see that the brake fluid level is between the

"MAX" and "MIN" marks.

3. If it is below the "MIN" mark, add brake fluid to the

"MAX" mark.

B

Checking Brake Pedal

To avoid personal injury:

A

Stop the engine and chock the wheels before
checking brake pedal.

1. Inspect the brake pedals for free travel, and smooth

operation.

2. Adjust if incorrect measurement is found: (See

"Checking Brake Pedal" in "EVERY 200 HOURS" in
"PERIODIC SERVICE" section.)

(1) Oil tank cap

(A) "MAX"
(B) "MIN"

(1) Brake pedal

(A) "FREE TRAVEL"
(B) "PEDAL STROKE"
