10. ANTI-FREEZE & DISPOSAL OF FLUIDS
A
Anti-freeze contains poison. Wear rubber gloves to avoid personal
injury. In case of contact with skin, wash it off immediately.
A
DO NOT mix different types of Anti-freeze. The mixture can produce a
chemical reaction causing harmful substances. Use approved or
genuine KUBOTA Anti-freeze.
A
Be mindful of the environment and the ecology. Before draining any
fluids, determine the correct way to dispose of them. Observe the
relevant environmental protection regulations when disposing of oil, fuel,
coolant, brake fluid, filters and batteries.
A
When draining fluids from the engine, place a suitable container
underneath the engine body.
A
DO NOT pour waste onto the ground, down a drain, or into any water
source. Dispose of waste fluids according to environmental regulations.
11. CONDUCTING SAFETY CHECKS & MAINTENANCE
A
When inspecting the engine or servicing, place the engine on a large flat
surface. DO NOT work on anything that is supported ONLY by lift jacks
or a hoist. Always use blocks or the correct stands to support the engine
before servicing.
A
Disconnect the battery from the engine before conducting service. Put a
"DO NOT OPERATE!" tag on the key switch to avoid accidental starting.
A
To avoid sparks from an accidental short circuit always disconnect the
battery's ground cable (-) first and reconnect it last.
A
Be sure to stop the engine and remove the key when conducting daily
and periodic maintenance, service and cleaning.
A
Check or conduct maintenance after the engine, coolant, muffler, or
muffler cover have cooled off completely.
A
Always use the appropriate tools and fixtures. Verify that they are in
good condition before performing any service work. Make sure you
understand how to use them before service.
A
Use ONLY correct engine barring techniques for manually rotating the
engine. DO NOT attempt to rotate the engine by pulling or prying on the
cooling fan and V-belt. This practice can cause serious personal injury
or premature damage to the cooling fan and belt.
A
Replace fuel pipes and lubricant pipes with their hose clamps every 2
years or earlier whether they are damaged or not. They are made of
rubber and age gradually.
A
When servicing is performed together by two or more persons, take care
to perform all work safely.
A
Keep a first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy at all times.
