AIR CLEANER: The Kubota diesel engine is equipped with a dry type air filter. Never apply oil to it. Service the air cleaner as follows:
1.Remove the dust cup from the bottom of the air cleaner housing. Clean out any accumulated dust.
2.If dust is sticking to the element, blow compressed air through the element from the inside out. Turn the element as you apply air. Air pressure should be under 686 kPa (7 kgf/cm2, 99 psi).
3.If carbon or oil sticks to the element, soak it in detergent for 15 minutes. Then wash the element in water, rinse it with clean water and let it air dry. Check the element for damage before reassem- bling the air cleaner.
4.Replace the element at least every year or every six cleanings.
TIGHTENING THE FAN BELT: If the fan belt is loose, the engine can overheat and the battery lose its charge. Check tightness by pressing on the belt mid- way between the pulleys. It should deflect about 7 to 9 mm (0.28 to 0.35 in.) under a load of 10 kgf (22.1 lbs.).
Refer to the Kubota Operator’s Manual for the adjust- ment procedure.
