15.4 Handling of fuel and refueling
Check fuel level and refuel if necessary (fuel tank cap,
no. 6).
In diesel engine use DIESEL fuel only, see also Kubota
Operators Manual. Use of other fuels is not allowed.
Make sure not to let the fuel tank get empty. Should this
happen, refuel and restart
– the engine is fitted with
automatic fuel bleeding.
In petrol engine use fuel defined by the engine
manufacturer in the engine Operators Manual.

15.5 Hydraulic oil and oil filter change
Hydraulic return oil filter is located on top of the
hydraulic oil tank (no. 2) at the rear of the chassis.
Replace the filter by removing the filter cap and
replacing the filter cartridge.
When changing hydraulic oil, the oil can be removed
with a suction pump from the opening of breather cap
(no 3), or by opening the drain plug.
In both cases it is
important to clean the magnetic drain plug.
Hydraulic pressure filter cartridge ( no. 4) must be
changed always when return filter is changed. Take
off the filter bracket, lift up the filter, open and replace
the filter cartridge.
Pressure filter cartridge is mounted inside the filter
case with the cartridge’s opening facing
up and the case. After this mount the case back to the bracket. Make sure there are no leaks
when the engine is running.

15.6 Hydraulic oil level
Hydraulic oil level can be checked with the dipstick in the filler (no. 3). Oil level should be at
the upper mark in the dipstick when the lift is in transport position (booms down on transport
supports and outriggers completely up).
