excavations or buildings. Direct exhaust
away from nearby personnel.
Starting

position. Check to see the oil pressure and charge lights
on the "Warning Lamp Unit " are lit. If either are not lit, check
the system and wiring (refer to the
Kubota Engine

Before Starting
1. Disconnect the electrical load and switch the main circuit
breaker to the 'OFF ' position.
2. Check the fuel level on the fuel gauge. If the fuel is low
fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh diesel fuel.
3. Check the lubricating oil level. If there is not enough
lubricating oil, fill the crankcase with high grade motor
oil. Use a high quality detergent oil classified CC or
higher (See Table 8 on page 23).
4. Check the coolant level in the radiator and subtank.
Replenish with antifreeze as necessary. Always maintain
the coolant level between the
FULL
and
LOW
markings
on the coolant container. Be sure the radiator cap is
fastened securely.
