Replacing Engine Oil Filter
To avoid personal injury:
A
Be sure to stop the engine and remove the key
before changing the oil and the oil filter.
A
Allow engine to cool down sufficiently; oil can
be hot and may cause burns.
1. The oil filter must be changed every 200 service hours.
2. Apply a slight coat of oil onto the rubber gasket of new
filter.
3. Tighten the filter quickly until it contacts the mounting
surface. Tighten filter by hand an additional 1/2 turn
only.
4. After the new filter has been replaced, the engine oil
level normally lowers a little. Add engine oil to proper
level. Check for oil leaks around filter gasket.

To prevent serious damage to the engine,
replacement element of the recommended type must
be used. Use only a genuine KUBOTA filter or its
equivalent.

Checking Radiator Hose and Clamp

hours of operation or six months, whichever comes first.
1. If hose clamps are loose or water leaks, tighten clamps
securely.

radiator hoses are swollen, hardened or cracked.
