A SAFE OPERATION
Careful operation is your best insurance against an
accident.
Read and understand this manual carefully before
operating the tractor.
All operators, no matter how much experience they may
have, should read this and other related manuals before
operating the tractor or any implement attached to it. It is
the owner's obligation to instruct all operators in safe
operation.
1. BEFORE OPERATING THE TRACTOR
1. Know your equipment and its limitations. Read this
entire manual before attempting to start and operate
the tractor.
2. Pay special attention to the danger, warning and
caution labels on the tractor.
3. KUBOTA recommends the use of a CAB or Roll Over
Protective Structures (ROPS) and seat belt in almost
all applications. This combination will reduce the risk
of serious injury or death, should the tractor be upset.
If the CAB or ROPS is loosened or removed for any
reason, make sure that ail parts are reinstalled
correctly before operating the tractor.
Never modify or repair a CAB or ROPS because
welding, bending, drilling, grinding, or cutting may
weaken the structure.
A damaged CAB or ROPS structure must be replaced,
not repaired or revised. If any structural member of the
CAB or ROPS is damaged, replace the entire structure
at your local KUBOTA Dealer.
1АСАЗАХАРОЗВА lp |
(1) ROPS
(2) Seat belt
4. Always use the seat belt if the tractor has a CAB or
ROPS. Do not use the seat belt if there is no CAB or
ROPS. Check the seat belt regularly and replace if
frayed or damaged.
SAFE OPERATION 1
5. Do not operate tractor or any implement attached to it
while under the influence of alcohol, medication,
controlled substances or while fatigued.
6. Carefully check the vicinity before operating tractor or
any implement attached to it. Check for overhead
clearance which may interfere with a CAB or ROPS.
Do not allow any bystanders around or near tractor
during operation.
7. Before allowing other people to use your tractor,
explain how to operate and have them read this
manual before operation.
8. Never wear loose, torn, or bulky clothing around
tractor. It may catch on moving parts or controls,
leading to the risk of an accident. Use additional safety
tems, e.g. hard hat, safety boots or shoes, eye and
hearing protection, gloves, etc., as appropriate or
required.
9. Do not allow passengers to ride on any part of the
tractor at anytime. The operator must remain in the
tractor seat during operation.
10.Check brakes, and other mechanical parts for
improper adjustment and wear. Replace worn or
damaged parts promptly. Check the tightness of all
nuts and bolts regularly. (For further details, see
&quot;MAINTENANCE&quot; section.)
11.Keep your tractor clean. Dirt, grease, and trash build
up may contribute to fires and lead to personal injury.
12. Use only implements meeting the specifications listed
under &quot;IMPLEMENT LIMITATIONS&quot; in this manual or
implements approved by KUBOTA.
13. Use proper weights on the front or rear of the tractor to
reduce the risk of upsets. When using the front loader,
put an implement or ballast on the 3-point hitch to
improve stability. Follow the safe operating
procedures specified in the implement or attachment
manual.
14. Do not modify the tractor. Unauthorized modification
may affect the function of the tractor, which may result
in personal injury.

SAFE OPERATION
2. OPERATING THE TRACTOR
2.
1AGAJAXAPO58A |
Ф Starting
1.
Always sit in the operator's seat when starting engine
or operating levers or controls.
Before starting the engine, make sure that all levers
(Including auxiliary control levers) are in their neutral
positions, that the parking brake is engaged, and that
the Power Take-Off (PTO) is disengaged or &quot;OFF&quot;.
Fasten the seat belt if the tractor has a CAB, a fixed
ROPS or a foldable ROPS in the upright and locked
position.
Do not start engine by shorting across starter
terminals or bypassing the safety start switch.
Machine may start in gear and move if normal starting
circuitry is bypassed.
. Do not operate or idle engine in a non-ventilated area.
Carbon monoxide gas Is colorless, odorless, and
deadly.
Check before each use that operator presence
controls are functioning correctly. Test safety systems.
(See &quot;EVERY 50 HOURS, Checking Engine Start
System” in &quot;PERIODIC SERVICE&quot; section)
Do not operate unless they are functioning correctly.
€ Working
1.
Pull only from the hitch. Never hitch to axle housing or
any other point except hitch; such arrangements will
increase the risk of serious personal injury or death
due to a tractor upset.
(1) Hitch
2. Keep all shields and guards in place. Replace any that
3.
4.
are missing or damaged.
Avoid sudden starts. To avoid upsets, slow down
when turning, on uneven ground, and before stopping.
The tractor cannot turn with the differential locked and
attempting to do so could be dangerous.
. Do not operate near ditches, holes, embankments, or
other ground surface features which may collapse
under the tractors weight. The risk of tractor upset is
even higher when the ground Is loose or wet. Tall
grass can hide obstacles, walk the area first to be sure.
. Watch where you are going at all times. Watch for and
avoid obstacles. Be alert at row ends, near trees, and
other obstructions.
. When working in groups, always let the others know
what you are going to do before you do it.
. Never try to get on or off a moving tractor.
&amp; Safety for children
Tragedy can occur if the operator is not alert to the
presence of children. Children generally are attracted to
machines and the work they do.
1.
2.
3.
Never assume that children will remain where you last
saw them.
Keep children out of the work area and under the
watchful eye of another responsible adult.
Be alert and shut your machine down If children enter
the work area.
Never carry children on your machine. There is no safe
place for them to ride. They may fall off and be run
over or interfere with your control of the machine.
Never allow children to operate the machine even
under adult supervision.
Never allow children to play on the machine or on the
implement.
Use extra caution when backing up. Look behind and
down to make sure area is clear before moving.
When parking your machine if at all possible park on a
firm, flat and level surface; if not, park across a slope.
Set the parking brake(s), lower the implements to the
ground, remove the key from the ignition and lock the
cab door (if equipped) and chock the wheels.
&reg; Operating on slopes
Slopes are major factor related to loss-of-control ana tip-
over accidents, which can result in severe injury or death.
All slopes require extra caution.
1.
To avoid upsets, always back up steep slopes. If you
cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do
not operate on it. Stay off slopes too steep for safe
operation.
Driving forward out of a ditch, mired condition or up a
steep slope increases the risk of a tractor to be upset
backward. Always back out of these situations. Extra
caution is required with four-wheel drive models
because their increased traction can give the operator
false confidence in the tractor's ability to climb slopes.
Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual. Do
not make sudden changes in speed or direction.
. Avoid disengaging the changing gears speed when
climbing or going down a slope. If on a slope
disengaging the changing gears to neutral could
cause loss of control.
€% Driving the tractor on the road
1. Check the front wheel engagement. The braking
characteristics are different between two and four
wheel drive. Be aware of the difference and use
carefully.
2. Always slow the tractor down before turning. Turning
at high speed may tip the tractor over.
3. Make sure that the Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) sign is
clean and visible. Use hazard lights and turn signals as
required.

9.
Observe all local traffic and safety regulations.
Turn the headlights on.
Drive at speeds that allow you to maintain control at all
times.
. Do not apply the differential lock while traveling at road
speeds. The tractor may run out of control.
. Avoid sudden motions of the steering wheel as they
can lead to a dangerous loss of stability. The risk Is
especially great when the tractor Is traveling at road
speeds.
Do not operate an implement while the tractor is on the
road. Lock the 3-point hitch in the raised position.
10. When towing other equipment, use a safety chain and
place an SMV emblem on it as well.

the manufacturer's manual and review the safety
labels attached to the equipment.
When operating stationary PTO driven equipment,
always apply the tractor parking brake and place
chocks behind and in front of the rear wheels. Stay
clear of all rotating parts. Never step over rotating
parts.
5. USING 3-POINT HITCH
1.
2.
Use the 3-point hitch only with equipment designed for
3-point hitch usage.
when using a 3-point hitch mounted implement, be
sure to install the proper counterbalance weight on the
front of the tractor.
. When transporting on the road, set the implement
lowering speed knob in the &quot;LOCK&quot; position to hold the
Implement in the raised position.

6. SERVICING THE TRACTOR
Before servicing the tractor, park it on a firm, flat and level
surface, set the parking brake, lower all implements to the
ground, place the gear shift lever in neutral, stop the
engine and remove the key.
1.
2.
3.
Allow the tractor time to coo! off before working on or
near the engine, muffler, radiator, etc.
Always stop the engine before refueling. Avoid spills
and overfiliing.
Do not smoke when working around battery or when
refueling. Keep all sparks and flames away from
battery and fuel tank. The battery presents an
explosive hazard, because it gives off hydrogen and
oxygen especially when recharging.
Before &quot;jump starting” a dead battery, read and follow
all of the instructions. (See &quot;JUMP STARTING&quot; in
&quot;OPERATING THE ENGINE&quot; section)
. Keep first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy at all
times.
Do not remove radiator cap while coolant is hot. When
cool, slowly rotate cap to the first stop and allow
sufficient time for excess pressure to escape before
removing the cap compietely. If the tractor has a
coolant recovery tank, add coolant or water to the tank,
not the radiator. (See &quot;CHECKING COOLANT
LEVEL&quot; in &quot;MAINTENANCE&quot; section)
Disconnect the battery's ground cable before working
on or near electric components.
To avoid the possibility of battery explosion, do not use
or charge the refillable type battery if the fluid level Is
below the LOWER ( lower limit level ) mark. Check the
fluid level regularly and add distilled water as required
so that the fluid level between the UPPER ana
LOWER levels.
To avoid sparks from an accidental short circuit,
always disconnect the battery's ground cable (-) first
and reconnect it last.
SAFE OPERATION
О
15. Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure has sufficient
force to penetrate skin, causing serious personal
injury. Before disconnecting hydraulic lines, be sure to
release all residual pressure. Before applying
pressure to the hydraulic system, make sure that ali
connections are tight and that all lines, pipes, and
hoses are free of damage.

12.Securely support the tractor when either changing
wheels or adjusting the wheel tread width.
13. Make sure that wheel bolts have been tightened to the
specified torque.
14.Do not work under any hydraulically supported
devices. They can settle, suddenly leak down, or be
accidentally lowered. If it is necessary to work under
tractor or any machine elements for servicing or
adjustment, securely support them with stands or
suitable blocking beforehand.
eye protection is also highly recommended. If injured
by escaping fluid, see a medical doctor at once. This
fluid will produce gangrene or severe allergic reaction.

12 OPERATING THE ENGINE
WARMING UP
A caution
To avoid personal injury:
e Be sure to set the parking brake during warm-
up.
e Be sure to set all shift levers to NEUTRAL&quot;
positions and to place PTO lever in &quot;OFF&quot;
position during warm-up.
For five minutes after engine start-up, allow engine to
warm up without applying any load, this is to allow oil to
reach every engine part. If load should be applied to the
engine without this warm-up period, trouble such as
seizure, breakage or premature wear may develop.
E Warm-up and Transmission Oil in the Low
Temperature Range
Hydraulic oll serves as transmission fluid. In cold weather,
the oil may be cold with increased viscosity. This can
cause delayed oil circulation or abnormally low hydraulic
pressure for some time after engine start-up. This in turn
can result in premature wear in the hydraulic system or
malfunctions such as resistance in the speed control
pedal and difficulty engaging the range gear shift lever. To
prevent the above, observe the following instructions:
Warm up the engine at about 50% of rated rpm according
to the table below:
When jump starting engine, follow the instructions below
to safely start the engine.
1. Bring helper vehicle with a battery of the same voltage
as disabled tractor within easy cable reach. &quot;THE
VEHICLES MUST NOT TOUCH&quot;.
2. Engage the parking brakes of both vehicles and put
the shift levers in &quot;NEUTRAL&quot;. Shut both engines off.
Put on safety goggles and rubber gloves.
Take the dead battery out and put it on the step.
Ensure the vent caps are securely in place. (if
equipped)
6. Cover vent holes with damp rags. Do not allow the rag
to touch the battery terminals.
7. Attach the red clamp to the positive (red, (+) or pos.)
terminal of the dead battery and clamp the other end
of the same cable to the positive (red, (+) or pos.)
terminal of the helper battery.
8. Clamp the other cable to the negative (black, (-) or
neq.) terminal of the helper battery.
9. Clamp the other end to the engine block or frame of
the disabled tractor as far from the dead battery as
possible.
10. Start the helper vehicle and let its engine run for a few
moments. Start the disabled tractor.
11.Disconnect the jumper cables in the exact reverse
order of attachment. (Steps 9, 8 and 7).
12.Remove and discard the damp rags.
13. Put the battery back and fix it.

OPERATING THE TRACTOR
OPERATING NEW TRACTOR
How a new tractor is handled and maintained determines
the life of the tractor.
A new tractor just off the factory production line has been,
of course, tested, but the various parts are not
accustomed to each other, so care should be taken to
operate the tractor for the first 50 hours at a slower speed
and avoid excessive work or operation until the various
parts become &quot;broken-in.&quot; The manner in which the
tractor is handled during the &quot;breaking-in.&quot; period greatly
affects the life of your tractor. Therefore, to obtain the
maximum performance and the longest life of the tractor,
it is very important to properly break-in your tractor. In
handling a new tractor, the following precautions should
be observed.
HM Do not Operate the Tractor at Full Speed
for the First 50 Hours.
e Do not start quickly or apply the brakes suddenly.
&copy; In winter, operate the tractor after fully warming up the
engine.
&reg; Do not run the engine at speeds faster than
necessary.
&reg; On rough roads, slow down to suitable speeds.
Do not operate the tractor at fast speed.
The above precautions are not limited only to new
tractors, but to all tractors. But it should be especially
observed in the case of new tractors.
Bl Changing Lubricating Oil for New Tractors
The lubricating oil is especially important in the case of a
new tractor. The various parts are not &quot;broken-in&quot; and are
not accustomed to each other; small metal grit may
develop during the operation of the tractor; and this may
wear out or damage the parts. Therefore, care should be
taken to change the lubricating oil a little earlier than
would ordinarily be required.
For further details of change interval hours.
(See &quot;MAINTENANCE&quot; section)

Bl Operator's Seat
A CAUTION
To avoid personal injury:
&reg; Make adjustments to the seat only while the
tractor is stopped.
&reg; Make sure that the seat is completely secured
after each adjustment.
e Do not allow any person other than the driver to
ride on the tractor.

E Battery
A DANGER
To avoid the possibility of battery explosion:
For the refillable type battery, follow the
instructions below.
&reg; Do not use or charge the refillable type battery
if the fluid level is below the LOWER (lower limit
level) mark. Otherwise, the battery component
parts may prematurely deteriorate, which may
shorten the battery's service life or cause an
explosion. Check the fluid level regularly and
add distilled water as required so that the fluid
level is between the UPPER and LOWER levels.
A CAUTION
To avoid personal injury:
e Never remove the vent caps while the engine is
running.
&reg; Keep electrolyte away from eyes, hands and
clothes. If you are spattered with it, wash it
away completely with water immediately and
get medical attention.
&reg; Wear eye protection and rubber gloves when
working around the battery.
Mishandling the battery shortens the service life and adds
to maintenance costs.
The original battery is maintenance free, but needs some
servicing.
If the battery is weak, the engine will be difficult to start
and the lights will be dim. It is important to check the
battery periodically.

€ Battery Charging
A caution
— To avoid personal injury:
&reg; When the battery is being activated, hydrogen
and oxygen gases in the battery are extremely
explosive. Keep open sparks and flames away
from the battery at all times, especially when
charging the battery.
&reg; When charging the battery, ensure the vent
caps are securely in place. (if equipped)
When disconnecting the cable from the battery,
start with the negative terminal first.
When connecting the cable to the battery, start
with the positive terminal first.
Never check battery charge by placing a metal
object across the posts.
Use a voltmeter or hydrometer.
(For accessible maintainable type batteries
with removable vent caps.)
1. Make sure each electrolyte level is to the bottom of
vent wells, if necessary add distilled water in a well-
ventilated area.

2. The water in the electrolyte evaporates during
recharging. Liquid shortage damages the battery.
Excessive liquid spills over and damages the tractor
body.
3. To slow charge the battery, connect the battery
positive terminal to the charger positive terminal and
the negative to the negative, then recharge in the
standard fashion.
4. A boost charge is only for emergencies. It will partially
charge the battery at a high rate and in a short time.
When using a boost-charged battery, it is necessary to
recharge the battery as early as possible.
Failure to do this will shorten the battery's service life.
5. When the specific gravity of electrolyte is between
1.27 and 1.29 the charging is completed.
O. When exchanging an old battery for a new one, use
battery of equal specification shown in Table 1.

€ Battery for storage
1.
When storing the tractor for a long period, remove the
battery from tractor, adjust the electrolyte to the proper
level and store in a dry place out of direct sunlight.
2. The battery self-discharges while it is stored.
Recharge it once every three months in hot seasons
and once every six months in cold seasons.
3. (For non-accessible maintenance-free type batteries.)
Maintenance-free, non-accessible batteries are
designed to eliminate the need to add water. Yet the
volume of electrolyte above plates may eventually
become depleted due to abnormal conditions such as
high heat or improper regulator setting. Use a
voltmeter to check the state of charge. (See reference

IMPORTANT :
Do not start engine without coolant.
Use clean, fresh water and anti-freeze to fili the

When the anti-freeze is mixed with water, the anti-
freeze mixing ratio must be less than 50%.
Securely tighten radiator cap. If the cap is loose or
improperly fitted, water may leak out and the engine
could overheat.
E Anti-Freeze
М слотом
To avoid personal injury:
&reg; When using antifreeze, put on some protection
such as rubber gloves (Antifreeze contains
poison.).
e If should drink antifreeze, throw up at once and
take medical attention.
e When antifreeze comes in contact with the skin
or clothing, wash it off immediately.
e Do not mix different types of Antifreeze.
The mixture can produce chemical reaction
causing harmful substances.
Antifreeze is extremely flammable and
explosive under certain conditions. Keep fire
and children away from antifreeze.
When draining fluids from the engine, place
some container underneath the engine body.
Do not pour waste onto the grounds, down a
drain, or into any water source.
Also, observe the relevant environmental
protection regulations when disposing of
antifreeze.
If it freezes, coolant can damage the cylinders and
radiator. If the ambient temperature falls below UC
(32 &deg;F ) or before a long-term storage, let out cooling water
completely, or mix fresh water with long-life coolant and fill
the radiator and reserve tank with the mixture.
1.
2.
Long-life coolant (hereafter LLC) comes in several
types. Use ethylene glycol (EG) type for this engine.
Before employing LLC-mixed cooling water, fill the
radiator with fresh water and empty it again.
Repeat this procedure 2 or 3 times to clean up the
inside.
Mixing the LLC
Put the LLC in cooling water in the percentage (%) for
a target temperature. When mixing, stir it up well, and
then fill into the radiator.
The procedure for the mixing of water and antifreeze
differs according to the make of the antifreeze and the
ambient temperature. Refer to SAE J1034 standard,
more specifically also to SAE J814c.
IMPORTANT :
e When the antifreeze Is
mixed with water, the
antifreeze mixing ratio must be less than 50%.

20 -37 -34 108 226 |
* At 1.013 x 10&deg;Pa (760mmHg) pressure (atmospheric).
A higher boiling point is obtained by using a radiator
pressure cap which permits the development of
pressure within the cooling system.
5. Adding the LLC
(1) Add only water if the mixture reduces in amount
by evaporation.
(2) If there is a mixture leak, add the LLC of the same
manufacturer and type in the same mixture
percentage.
* Never add any long-life coolant of different
manufacturer. (Different brands may have
different additive components, and the engine
may fail to perform as specified.)
6. When the LLC is mixed, do not employ any radiator
cleaning agent. The LLC contains anticorrosive agent.
If mixed with the cleaning agent, sludge may build up,
adversely affecting the engine parts.
7. Kubota's genuine long-life coolant has a service life of
2 years. Be sure to change the coolant every 2 years.
NOTE :
&reg; Ihe above data represent industry standards that
necessitate a minimum glycol content in the
concentrated antifreeze.
&reg; When the coolant level drops due to evaporation, add
water only to keep the antiireeze mixing ratio less than
50%. In case of leakage, add antifreeze and water in
the specified mixing ratio before filling in to the
radiator.
