To avoid personal injury:
A
Be sure to stop the engine and remove the key

Allow transmission case to cool down
sufficiently; oil can be hot and may cause
burns.

service hours.
2. Place an oil pan underneath the oil filter cartridge. (Do
not drain oil.)
3. Remove the oil filter cartridge by using the filter
wrench.

5. Tighten the filter quickly until it contacts the mounting
surface. Tighten filter by hand an additional 1/2 turn
only.

transmission fluid level normally lowers a little. Add
fluid to proper level. Check for oil leaks around filter
gasket.

To prevent serious damage or premature failure to the
hydraulic system, use only a KUBOTA genuine filter.
