reserve tank is translucent, enabling easy viewing of the coolant level. The coolant level
should fall between the “FULL” and “LOW” markings on the reserve tank. If the coolant
level is low, add coolant prior to operation. If the coolant appears excessively contami-
nated or diluted, change the coolant prior to operation. Consult the Kubota Diesel Engine
Operator’s Manual located in the back of this manual for proper coolant types and mix-
tures.
Check the entire coolant system for any leaks. Areas to inspect include the radiator,
overflow tank, all hoses, clamps, and fittings, the entire engine area, and under the
engine. If any leaks are discovered, allow ample time for coolant to cool. Repair or
replace the defective parts and re-fill the coolant system before operating the Articulator.
3.9 Hydraulic Fluid
The Models 325D & 425D Articulators use a specific type of oil in the hydraulic system.
This oil is formulated to prolong the life of the hydraulic pumps. LasTec has developed a
kit, which contains (2) 2 1/2 gallon reusable containers of oil and (2) oil filters. This is
enough oil and filters for (2) complete hydraulic system oil changes (system capacity is
approximately 7 quarts). The hydraulic oil kit part number is 028536.
Machines from Serial No. 1000398 to 1830299 should switch to this oil upon the next
scheduled hydraulic oil change. Machines as of Serial No. 1840299 are supplied with
this oil at the factory, and must continue to use this oil in the hydraulic system, or
the warranty will be voided on the hydraulic pumps.
With the engine turned off, check the hydraulic fluid level and condition. The hydraulic oil
tank is located under the engine cover, to the left of the engine. The hydraulic tank is
translucent, enabling easy viewing of the oil level. Maintain a minimum oil level within
three to four inches from the top of the tank. Do not overfill.
Inspect the entire hydraulic system for leaks. Areas to inspect include the motors and
pumps, the filter, tank, and coolers, the deck lift arm cylinder (under the front left of the
frame), all hoses, clamps, and fittings, and the entire area under the hydraulic system. If
any leaks are discovered, allow ample time for the hydraulic fluid to cool. Repair or
replace the defective parts and re-fill the hydraulic system before operating the Articula-
tor. Be sure to close the engine cover, and secure all latches.
Hydraulic Fluid is pressurized! ALWAYS keep well away from any
leaks or loose connections while system is pressurized!
HYDRAULIC FLUID IS HOT! Always allow ample time for hydraulic
fluid to cool before changing or repairing leaks!
Be sure to use the correct fluid in the transmission! Check fluid level
and quality daily! Incorrect fluid, inadequate fluid level, or
contaminated fluid will cause transmission damage!
