IMPORTANT:
6: "START"
• Do not use starting fluid or ether.
• To protect the battery and the starter, make sure that
the starter
is
not continuously turned for more than 1 0
seconds at a time.
If the engine does not start, allow 60 seconds cool
down period between starting attempts.
• If the starter does not turn the engine over, shut off the
starter
immediately.
Do
not make further attempts to
start the engine
until the condition
is
corrected. Do not
jump start using another battery.
Consult your local KUBOTA dealer.

°C

run the
engine at medium speed to warm
up
the lubricant of
the engine and the transmission for at
least
10
minutes. If the machine
is
operated before the
lubricant
is
warm enough, the machine life will
be
shortened.

is
sufficiently warmed
up
2 or 3 minutes for temperature
above
0
°C
(32
OF
).
• When the ambient temperature
is
less than -15°C
(5

remove the battery from the machine and store
it somewhere warm
until the next operation.
