surface. Lower the lift arms on the ground.
STORING THE MACHINE FOR A
LONG PERIOD OF TIME
If the machine will be stored for a long period of
time, follow the following procedures.

If you have to keep the machine outdoors, follow
the following procedure.
a. Lay out wooden planks on even ground.
b. Place the machine on the planks.
c. Cover the machine completely.
2. Change the oil and grease the machine.
3. Heavily grease the visible section of the cylinder
rods.
4. Remove the battery and store it indoors.
5. If it is expected that the ambient temperature will
drop as follows, add the antifreeze or drain coolant
completely.
Ambient temperature below 0 ℃
IMPORTANT :
•

Carefully, wash and do not splash water over
the air cleaner while the engine is running.
OPERATING THE MACHINE
AFTER STORING FOR A LONG
PERIOD OF TIME
Follow the following procedures when operating
the machine storing for a long period of time.
1. Wipe
off the grease from the hydraulic cylinder
rods.
2. Turn on the engine, and operate the attachments
and the drive mechanisms under no load in order to
circulate the hydraulic oil.
If the machine is stored for longer than one month,
perform steps 1. and 2. once every month.
1. Periodic replacement of important
component parts
To ensure safety in operation, inspect and service the
machine
at regular intervals. For added safety, ask your
KUBOTA dealer to replace the following important
component parts.
The following important component parts are prone to
degradation in material or subject to wear and tear with
time. It is difficult to judge how much they have been
affected at regular inspection. It is therefore necessary
to replace the following component parts with new
ones, whether wear is visible or not after a specified
time of use.
If any parts are found worn even before the specified
use, repair or replace them in the same way as other
parts.
If any of the hose clamps is found deformed or cracked,
also replace the hose clamp.
For the hydraulic hoses other than the ones to be
replaced periodically, inspect them for the following
points. If needed, tighten them up or replace them.
When replacing the hydraulic hoses, change their O
rings and sealings with new ones.
For replacement of the important parts, contact your
KUBOTA dealer.
NOTE :
• At the following periodic inspections, check the
fuel hoses and hydraulic hoses as well.
