Service and Repairs NOTE: For more component repair information, see the Kubota Workshop Manual, Diesel Engine, V2403--M--T--E3B at the end of Chapter 3 -- Kubota Die- sel Engines. Battery Storage If the machine will be stored for more than 30 days: 4.
Page 206: Battery Service
Battery Service The battery is the heart of the electrical system. With regular and proper service, battery life can be extended. Additionally, battery and electrical component failure can be prevented. CAUTION When working with batteries, use extreme cau- tion to avoid splashing or spilling electrolyte. Electrolyte can destroy clothing and burn skin or eyes.
Page 207: Battery Testing
Battery Testing C. Make sure battery terminals are free of corrosion. 1. Conduct a hydrometer test of the battery electrolyte. D. Measure the temperature of the center battery cell. IMPORTANT: Make sure the area around the cells is clean before opening the battery caps. E.
