Service and Repairs
NOTE: For more component repair information, see
the Kubota Workshop Manual, Diesel Engine, 03--M--
DI--E3B.
Battery Storage
If the machine will be stored for more than 30 days:
1. Remove the battery and charge it fully (see Battery
Service in this section).
2. Either store battery on a s helf or on the machine.
3. Leavec ables disconnected if thebattery is stored on
the machine.
4. Storebattery in a coolatmosphere to avoid quickde-
terioration of the battery charge.
5. To help prevent the battery fromfreezing, make sure
it is fully charged (see Battery Service in this section).
Battery Care
1. Battery electrolyte level must be properly main-
tained. The top of the battery must be kept clean. lf the
machine is stored in a location where temperatures are
extremely high, the battery will discharge more rapidly
than if the machine is storedin alocation where temper-
atures are cool.
WARNING
Wear safety goggles and rubber gloves when
working with electrolyte. Charge battery in a
well ventilated place so gasses produced while
charging can dissipate. Since the gases are ex-
plosive, keep open flames and electricalsparks
away from the battery; do not smoke. Nausea
mayresultif thegasesareinhaled.Unplug char-
ger from electrical outlet before connecting or
disconnecting charger leads to or from battery
posts.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove fill caps while clean-
ing.
2. Check battery condition weekly or after every 50
hours of operation. Keep terminals and entire battery
case clean because a dirty batterywill discharge slowly.
A. Clean battery by washing entire case with a solu-
tionof bakingsodaand water. Rinsewithclear water.
B. Coatbatterypostsandcableconnectors withbat-
tery terminal protector (see Special Tools in this
chapter) or petroleum jelly to prevent corrosion.
3. Battery cables must be tight on battery terminals to
provide good electrical contact.
Connecting cables to the wrong post could re-
sult inpersonal injury and/ordamage to the elec-
trical system.
WARNING
4. If corrosion occurs at battery terminals, disconnect
cables. Always disconnect negative (--) cable first.
Clean clamps and terminals separately. Reconnect
cables with positive (+) cable first. Coat battery posts
and cable connectors with battery terminal protector
(see Special Tools in this c hapter) or petroleum jelly to
prevent corrosion.
5. Checkelectrolyte levelevery25 operatinghours and
every 30 days if machine is in storage.
6. Maintain battery cell level with distilledor demineral-
ized water. Do not fill cells above the fill line.
