PERIODIC SERVICE 50 B Checking Brake Fluid Level B Checking Brake Pedal To avoid personal injury: A Never operate the vehicle, if the brake fluid is below the "MIN" mark. A Use only KUBOTA DOT3 GENUINE BRAKE FLUID from a sealed container. Using other type of oil ruins synthetic resin or rubber installed in brake system components, and may cause brake failure. A Avoid contamination of the brake fluid. Thoroughly clean area around the filler cap before removing. Do not open the brake fluid reservoir cap unless absolutely necessary. A Use extreme care when filling the reservoir. If brake fluid is spilled on power steering hose, wash off with water immediately.
Brake fluid quickly ruins synthetic resin or rubber hoses. To avoid personal injury: A Stop the engine and chock the wheels before checking brake pedal. 1. Inspect the brake pedals for free travel, and smooth operation. 2. Adjust if incorrect measurement is found: (See "Checking Brake Pedal" in "EVERY 200 HOURS" in "PERIODIC SERVICE" section.) 1. Park the vehicle on a level ground and open the hood. 2. Check to see that the brake fluid level is between the "MAX" and "MIN" marks. 3. If it is below the "MIN" mark, add brake fluid to the "MAX" mark. (1) Brake pedal (A) "FREE TRAVEL" (B) "PEDAL STROKE" (1) Oil tank cap (A) "MAX" (B) "MIN"
