Engine Maintenance: Kubota (T4f)
The viscosity of the engine oil is an important factor when determining the correct
engine oil to use in your machine. Use an engine oil of appropriate viscosity based
on the expected outside air temperature. See the table below.
WARNING
Most used liquids from this machine such as oil, gasoline, grease, etc., contain
small amounts of materials that can cause cancer and other health problems if
inhaled, ingested, or left in contact with skin for prolonged periods of time.
f
Take steps to avoid inhaling or ingesting used liquids.
f
Wash skin thoroughly after exposure to used liquids.
$
The jobs indicated by
must be done after the first 50 hours of operation.
*1 Air cleaner should be cleaned more often in dusty conditions than in normal conditions.
*2 After 6 times of cleaning.
*3 Consult your local KUBOTA Dealer for this service.
*4 Replace only if necessary.

When the battery is used for less than 100 hours in a year, check its electrolyte yearly. (for refillable battery's only)

The items listed above (@ marked) are registered as emission related critical parts by KUBOTA in the U.S. EPA
nonroad emission regulation. As the engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required
maintenance on the engine according to the above instruction.
Please see the Warranty Statement in detail.

Lubricating oil
With strict emission control regulations now in effect, the CF-4 and CG-4 engine oils have been developed for use
with low sulfur fuels, for On-Highway vehicle engines. When a Non-Road engine runs on high sulfur fuel, it is
advisable to use a "CF or better" classification engine oil with a high Total Base Number (a minimum TBN of 10
is recommended).
$
Lubricating oil recommended when a low-sulfur or high-sulfur fuel is employed.
: Recommendable : Not recommendable
*TBN: Total Base Number
**Fuel
$
Diesel Fuel Specification Type and Sulfur Content % (ppm) used, must be compliant with all applicable emission
regulations for the area in which the engine is operated.
$
Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content less than 0.10 % (1000 ppm) is strongly recommended.
$
If high-sulfur fuel (sulfur content 0.50 % (5000 ppm) to 1.0 % (10000 ppm)) is used as a diesel fuel, change the
engine oil and oil filter at shorter intervals. (approximately half).
$
DO NOT USE Fuels that have sulfur content greater than 1.0 % (10000 ppm).
$
Since KUBOTA diesel engines of less than 56 kW (75 hp) utilize EPA Tier 4 and Interim Tier 4 standards, the use
of ultra low sulfur fuel is mandatory for these engines, when operated in US EPA regulated areas. Therefore, please
use No.2-D S15 diesel fuel as an alternative to No.2-D, and use No.1-D S15 diesel fuel as an alternative to No.1-
D for ambient temperatures below -10°C (14°F).
