Kubota F2880 - Every 100 Hours; Changing Engine Oil

PERIODIC SERVICE40
4. A boost charge is only for emergencies. It will partially
charge the battery at a higher rate and in a short time.
When using a boost-charged battery, it is necessary to
recharge the battery as soon as possible.
Failure to do this will shorten the battery's service life.
5. When the specific gravity of electrolyte reaches 1.27 to
1.29 charge has completed.
6. When exchanging an old battery with new one, use a
battery of equal specification shown in
"SPECIFICATIONS"
(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 chart below to determine if
charging is necessary.)
C Direction for Storage
1. When storing the machine for a long period, remove
the battery from the machine, 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 a month in hot seasons and once
every 2 months in cold seasons.

BChanging Engine Oil
To avoid personal injury:
A Be sure to stop the engine and remove the key
before changing the oil.
A Allow engine to cool down sufficiently; oil can
be hot and may cause burns.
1. To drain the used oil, remove the drain plug at the
bottom of the engine and drain the oil completely into
the oil pan.
All the used oil can be drained out easily when the
engine is still warm.
2. After draining reinstall the drain plug.
3. Fill with the new oil up to the center on the dipstick,
between the upper and lower notch.
(See "LUBRICANTS, FUEL AND COOLANT" in
"MAINTENANCE" section.)
