25OPERATING THE ENGINE
STOPPING THE ENGINE
A If key does not stop the engine, consult your local
KUBOTA Dealer.
WARMING UP
To avoid personal injury:
A Be sure to set the parking brake during warm-
up.
A Be sure to set all shift levers to the "NEUTRAL"
positions and to place PTO lever in "OFF"
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.
BWarm-Up Transmission Oil in the Low
Temperature Range
Hydraulic oil 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 trouble in the hydraulic system. To prevent
the above, observe the following instructions:
Warm up the engine at about 50% of rated rpm according
to the table below:
A Do not operate the tractor under full load condition until
it is sufficiently warmed up.
1. After slowing the engine to idle, turn the
key to "OFF".
2. Remove the key.
Ambient temperature Warm-up time requirement
Higher than -10 (14 ) Approx. 5 minutes
-15 to -10 (5 to 14 ) 5 to 10 minutes
-20 to -15 (-4 to 5 ) 10 to 20 minutes
Below -20 (-4 ) More than 20 minutes
