69PERIODIC SERVICE OF THE TRACTOR
A When using an oil of different maker or viscosity from
the previous one, remove all of the old oil and oil filter.
Never mix two different types of oil.
A If oil level is low, do not run engine.
A When using BT601 Backhoe and checking oil level,
locate the tractor/loader/backhoe on a flat and set the
loader/backhoe as illustrated below.
BChecking Transmission Fluid Level
1. Park the machine on a firm, flat and level surface,
lower the implement to the ground and stop the
engine.
2. To check the oil level, draw out the dipstick, wipe it
clean, replace it, and draw it out again. Check to see
that the oil level lies between the two notches.
If the level is too low, add new oil to the prescribed
level at the oil inlet.
(See "LUBRICANTS" in "MAINTENANCE OF THE
TRACTOR" section)
A If oil level is low, do not run engine.
BChecking Coolant Level
To avoid personal injury:
A Be sure to stop the engine and remove the key
before checking coolant level.
A Do not remove the 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 cap
completely.
1. Check to see that the coolant level is between the "H"
and "L" marks of recovery tank.
2. When the coolant level drops due to evaporation, add
water only. In case of leakage, add antifreeze and
water in the specified mixing ratio up to the "H" level.
(See "Flush Cooling System and Changing Coolant" in
every 2 years maintenance.)
A If the radiator cap has to be removed, follow the above
"CAUTION" and securely retighten the cap.
A Use clean, fresh water and anti-freeze to fill the
recovery tank.
A If water should leak, consult your local KUBOTA
Dealer.
