Periodic replacement of important component parts
To ensure safety in operation, you are strongly requested to inspect and service the machine at regular
intervals. For added safety, ask your KUBOTA dealer to replace the following important component
parts.
These parts are prone to degradation in material or subject to wear and tear with time. It is difficult to
judge how much they have been affected at regular inspection. It is therefore necessary to replace them
with new ones, whether wear is visible or not after a specified time of use.
If any of them is found worn even before the specified use, it must be repaired or replaced the same
way as other parts.
If any of the hose clamps is found deformed or cracked, the hose clamp must also be replaced.
For the hydraulic hoses other than the ones to be replaced periodically, inspect them for the following
points. If found unusual, tighten them up, replace them.
When replacing the hydraulic hoses, change their O rings and sealings with new ones.
For replacement of the important parts, contact your KUBOTA dealer.
A At the following periodic inspections, check the fuel hoses and hydraulic hoses as well.
List of important component parts
To prevent serious damage to the hydraulic system, use only a KUBOTA genuine hydraulic hose.
