the engine and drain the oil completely.

Replacing Oil Filter Cartridge
CAUTION
• Be sure to stop the engine before replacing oil filter
cartridge.
• Allow engine to cool down sufficiently, oil can be hot and
cause burns.
1. Remove the oil filter cartridge (1) with the filter wrench.
2. Apply a slight coat of oil onto the new cartridge gasket.
3. To install the new cartridge, screw it in by hand. Over tightening
may cause deformation of rubber gasket.
4. After the new cartridge has been replaced, the engine oil level
normally decreases a little. Thus, operate the engine for a while
and check for oil leaks through the seal before checking the
engine oil level. Add oil if necessary.
IMPORTANT
• To prevent serious damage to the engine, replacement
element must be highly efficient. Use only a KUBOTA
genuine filter or its equivalent.
NOTE
• Wipe off any oil sticking to the machine completely.
