Service and Repairs<br />

NOTE: For engine component repair information, see<br />

the Kubota Workshop Manual, Diesel Engine,<br />

V2403--M--T--E3B Series at the end of Chapter 3 -- Kubota<br />

Diesel Engine.<br />

Battery Storage<br />

If the machine will be stored for more than 30 days:<br />

1. Remove the battery and charge it fully (see Battery<br />

Service in this section).<br />

2. Either store battery on a shelf or on the machine.<br />

4. Store battery in a cool atmosphere to avoid quick deterioration<br />

of the battery charge.<br />

5. To help prevent the battery from freezing, make sure<br />

it is fully charged (see Battery Service in this section).<br />

3. Leave cables disconnected if the battery is stored on<br />

the machine.<br />

Battery Care<br />

1. Battery electrolyte level must be properly maintained.<br />

The top of the battery must be kept clean. lf the<br />

machine is stored in a location where temperatures are<br />

extremely high, the battery will discharge more rapidly<br />

than if the machine is stored in a location where temperatures<br />

are cool.<br />

WARNING<br />

Wear safety goggles and rubber gloves when<br />

working with electrolyte. Charge battery in a<br />

well ventilated place so gasses produced<br />

while charging can dissipate. Since the gases<br />

are explosive, keep open flames and electrical<br />

sparks away from the battery; do not smoke.<br />

Nausea may result if the gases are inhaled. Unplug<br />

charger from electrical outlet before connecting<br />

or disconnecting charger leads to or<br />

from battery posts.<br />

IMPORTANT: Do not remove fill caps while cleaning.<br />

2. Check battery condition weekly or after every 50<br />

hours of operation. Keep terminals and entire battery<br />

case clean because a dirty battery will discharge slowly.<br />

A. Clean battery by washing entire case with a solution<br />

of baking soda and water. Rinse with clear water.<br />

B. Coat battery posts and cable connectors with terminal<br />

protector (<strong>Toro</strong> Part No. 107--0392) or petroleum<br />

jelly to prevent corrosion.<br />

3. Battery cables must be tight on terminals to provide<br />

good electrical contact.<br />

WARNING<br />

Connecting cables to the wrong post could result<br />

in personal injury and/or damage to the electrical<br />

system.<br />

4. If corrosion occurs at terminals, disconnect cables.<br />

Always disconnect negative (--) cable first. Clean<br />

clamps and terminals separately. Connect cables with<br />

positive (+) cable first. Coat battery posts and cable connectors<br />

with terminal protector (<strong>Toro</strong> Part No.<br />

107--0392) or petroleum jelly to prevent corrosion.<br />

5. Check electrolyte level every 25 operating hours and<br />

every 30 days if machine is in storage.<br />

6. Maintain cell level with distilled water. Do not fill cells<br />

above the fill line.<br />
