WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Never operate the vehicle if the brake fluid is
below the [MIN] mark.
• Use only KUBOTA DOT3 GENUINE BRAKE

type of oil damages synthetic resin or rubber
installed in brake system components, and may
cause brake failure.

Thoroughly clean the area around the filler cap
before removing. Do not open the fluid tank cap
unless absolutely necessary.
• Use extreme care when filling the fluid tank.
If brake fluid is spilled on the power steering
hose, wash off with water immediately. Brake
fluid quickly damages synthetic resin or rubber
hoses.
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Open the hood.
3. Check to see that the brake fluid level is between
the [MAX] and [MIN] marks.
4. If it is below the [MIN] mark, add brake fluid to the
[MAX] mark.
