Checking Engine Oil Level
To avoid personal injury:
A Always stop the engine and remove the key
before checking oil.
1. Check engine oil before starting and 5 minutes or more
after the engine has stopped.
2. Wipe dipstick area clean.
3. To check the oil level, remove the dipstick, wipe it
clean, replace it, and draw it out again. Check to see
that the oil level is between the two notches.
4. Add new oil to the prescribed level at the oil port if
necessary.
5. When using a different brand or viscosity oil from the
previous one, remove all of the old oil and oil filter.

ambient temperatures. (See "LUBRICANTS AND
FUEL" in "MAINTENANCE" section.)

Checking Amount of Fuel and Refueling
To avoid personal injury:
A
Handle fuel carefully. If the engine is running,
do not fill the fuel tank. If engine is hot, let
engine cool several minutes before adding fuel.
Do not smoke while filling the fuel tank or
servicing the fuel system. Fill fuel tank only to
bottom of filler neck. Do not fill 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.
A Do not mix oil with gasoline.
A
Do not use the fuel cap other than KUBOTA approved
one.
A
Do not permit dirt or trash or water to get into the fuel
system.
A
Be careful not to let the fuel tank become empty,
otherwise air will enter the fuel system, necessitating
bleeding before next engine start.
A Be careful not to spill fuel during refueling. If a spill
should occur, wipe it off at once, or it may cause a fire.
Use only unleaded gasoline with an octane rating index of
87 or higher may be used.
A
Use fuel within approximately 30 days after purchase
to avoid deterioration in fuel quality, or add fuel
stabilizer to keep fuel fresh and stabilized.
