Kubota Diesel Engine V1505

Initial Oil Change after 50hours. WARNING! To avoid personal injury or death: Be sure to stop the engine before draining engine oil and changing the oil filter cartridge.

When draining engine oil, place some container underneath the engine and dispose it according to local regulations.

Do not drain oil after running the engine. Allow engine to cool down sufficiently. Oil can be hot and cause burns

2. Remove the drain plug at the bottom of the engine, and drain all the old oil. Drain oil easier and completely while the engine is hot.

3. When letting out the oil, remove the filler plug too. With the filler plug still in place, it would be difficult to discharge the oil completely.

4. Add new engine oil up to the upper limit of the oil level gauge. Be careful not to add oil above the upper limit of the oil level gauge.

Replacing the oil filter cartridge

1. Replace the oil filter cartridge.

WARNING! To avoid personal injury or death: Be sure to check radiator hoses and clamp bands periodically. If radiator hose is damaged or coolant leaks, overheats or severe burns could occur.

Check to see if radiator hoses are properly fixed.

If hose clamps are loose or water leaks, tighten hose clamp securely.

Replace hoses and tighten hose clamps securely, if radiator hoses are swollen, hardened or cracked.

Replace hoses and hose clamps every 2 years or earlier, if checked and found that hoses are swollen, hardened or cracked.

Precaution at overheating: The event that the coolant temperature is nearly or more than the boiling point is called 'OVERHEATING'.

If the coolant temperature warning lamp lights up or if steam or coolant does not stop squirting from the radiator overflow pipe, turn off the load and keep the engine idling (COOLING-DOWN) for at least 5 minutes to let it cool down gradually.

Check to see if the coolant runs short or if there is any coolant leak

Check to see if there is any obstacle around the cooling air inlet or outlet

Warning: Never apply oil to the dry type air cleaner element.

Evacuator valve opened to get rid of large particles of dust and dirt.

Inside air cleaner wiped clean.

Avoid touching the element except when cleaning.

Dry dust blown off from the element with compressed air.

Pressure of compressed air used.

Element soaked in detergent, washed, rinsed and dried naturally when carbon or oil adheres.

Element inspected for damage after drying.

Element replaced every year or every six cleanings.

Warning: This procedure requires trained personnel with PPE!

Fuel filter cartridge replaced with a new one

Fuel oil applied thinly over the gasket

Cartridge tightened into position by hand-tightening only

IMPORTANT! Replace the fuel filter cartridge periodically to prevent wear of the fuel injection pump plunger or the injection nozzle, due to dirt in the fuel.

NOTE! The fuel filter cartridge and water separator should be replaced more earlier according to the fuel classification in use.

Sign off on the fuel filter replacement

WARNING! To avoid personal injury or death: Check or replace the fuel pipes after stopping the engine. Broken fuel pipes can cause fires.

If the clamp band is loose, apply oil to the screw of the band, and tighten the band securely.

Are the fuel pipes, made of rubber, worn out?

If the fuel pipes, made of rubber, become worn out, replace them and clamp bands every 2 years.

Are the fuel pipes and clamp bands found worn or damaged before 2 years' pass?

If the fuel pipes and clamp bands are found worn or damaged before 2 years' pass, replace or repair them at once.

After replacement of the pipes and bands, air-bleed the fuel system.

Important: When the fuel pipes are not installed, plug them at both ends with clean cloth or paper to prevent dirt from entering. Dirt in the pipes can cause fuel injection pump malfunction.
