2. Checking the amount of fuel and
refueling
WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Park the machine on a firm and level surface.
• Apply the parking brake.
• Handle the fuel carefully. If the engine is
running, do not fill the fuel tank. If the engine is
hot, let the engine cool down several minutes
before adding fuel.
• Do not smoke while filling the fuel tank or
servicing the fuel system. Fill the fuel tank only
to the bottom of the filler neck. Do not fill until
completely full. The empty space in the tank
allows gasoline to expand when it heats up.
• Never remove the fuel tank cap or add fuel
when the fuel tank is hot.
Check the fuel level. Take care that the fuel tank does
not become empty.
Fuel tank capacity 44 L (11.6 U.S.gals.)
IMPORTANT :
• Do not mix oil with gasoline.
• Tighten the fuel cap until it clicks.
• Do not use a fuel cap other than one approved
by KUBOTA.
• Do not permit dirt, trash or water to get into the
fuel system.
• Be careful not to spill fuel while refueling. If a
spill should occur, wipe it off at once, or it may
cause a fire.
• Use grounded system to refuel.
Use only unleaded gasoline with an octane rating index
of 87 or higher.
NOTE :
• Use fuel within approximately 30 days after
purchase to avoid deterioration in fuel quality,
or add fuel stabilizer to keep fuel fresh and
stabilized.
• Fuel blend differs from season to season for the
best seasonal engine performance. To prevent
engine performance troubles such as vapor
lock or hard starting, use fuel within the season
in which the fuel is purchased.
• Infrequent use of the engine during a season
can make fuel stale in the fuel tank of the
machine. Stale fuel condition can cause engine
performance troubles due to issues with the
fuel system.
• Seal the fuel storage container tightly and store
it out of sunlight and heat to prevent fuel
degradation.
• Condensation in the fuel tank may occur
because of various operating or environmental
conditions. To reduce condensation and to
avoid affecting the machine operation, fill the
fuel tank at the end of daily operations.
IMPORTANT :
• Do not use old fuel.
