GENERAL OPERATION Daily Inspection Always set the parking brake, shut off power unit engine, remove the ignition key, and ensure all moving parts have come to a complete stop before inspecting components, or attempting any repair or adjustment. 1. Park the power unit on a level surface, with the engine shut off and all fluids cold. 2. Perform a visual inspection of the power unit. Look for loose or missing hardware, damaged components, or signs of wear. 3.
GENERAL OPERATION 4500Z Kubota Gasoline Or Propane Gasoline Use CAUTION 1. Place the gas/propane selector switch in the gasoline position. 2. Pull out the choke handle to the choke or start position. Choke may not be required when the engine is at operating temperature. 3. Move the throttle lever to the slow idle position. CAUTION Do not run the electric starter continuously for more than 10 seconds. If the engine does not start right away, wait 30 seconds and try again. 4.
GENERAL OPERATION operating temperature before operations. Allow the unit to run at approximately 1800 rpm until the hydraulic filter is warm to touch. The hydraulic filter is located below the front fuse panel to the left of the dash. Forward And Reverse Set the neutral assist lever to the desired position. Verify that the intended path is safe and free from obstacles. When safe to move, begin by disengaging the parking brake.
GENERAL OPERATION Detaching Front Auxiliary Couplers 1. Park the power unit on a level surface and set the parking brake. 2. Fully raise the front hitch and attachment and set the weight transfer to 0 (if equipped). 3. Lower the attachment to the ground and place the primary SDLA lever in the float position. 4. Shut off power unit engine. 5. Release the PTO belt tensioner rod.* 6. Remove the attachment belt from the PTO drive pulley of the power unit.* 7.
GENERAL OPERATION To set the weight transfer, raise the front hitch to its maximum height and move the weight transfer select lever to the desired position. Selecting the proper amount of weight to transfer depends on attachments, ground conditions and operator preference. A lightweight attachment (e.g. KA160 power blower) will not go down with full weight transfer on.
GENERAL OPERATION 3 Point Hitch (Optional Accessory) Some light and medium duty implements (non-PTO powered) can be used on the rear of a 3 point hitch equipped power unit. 1 Directional/Hazard Flasher Operation (Optional Accessory) The directional signal / hazard flasher lights are mounted on adjustable arms. They can be positioned with the arms up for standard use, or the arms can be rotated down for use on power units equipped with dual wheels. To change the light position: 4 1 4 3 2 2 3 1.
GENERAL OPERATION Operating On Slopes WARNING • • • • • • • • • • AVOID PERSONAL INJURY! Operation on slopes decreases power unit stability and increases the potential for unexpected difficulties. Only experienced operators should operate the power unit on slopes and extra caution should be exercised. Use low range when operating on slopes greater than 15 degrees. Never shift between high and low range while on a slope.
SERVICE CAUTION Always set the parking brake, shut off power unit engine, remove the ignition key, and ensure all moving parts have come to a complete stop before inspecting components or attempting any repair or adjustment.

TROUBLESHOOTING Electrical Troubleshooting Using The Tractor Control Module (TCM) The TCM monitors the electronic circuits necessary for the engine, starter, and PTO to function. These “input” circuits include the PTO Switch, Neutral Switch, Parking Brake Switch, Key Switch, Seat Switch, and Generator Presence. The TCM is programmed to allow the engine, starter, or PTO to operate only when specific input criteria are satisfied. The engine, start, and PTO circuits are controlled by “outputs” from the TCM.
TROUBLESHOOTING PTO (L) The light indicates that power is being sent to the PTO clutch relay. For the PTO output to function, the operator must be on the seat. If the PTO remote kit is installed and an attachment such as the generator is connected, the TCM will automatically enable the Remote PTO function. In this mode the PTO switch on the generator replaces the seat switch criteria for the PTO to function. The parking brake must be engaged for the Remote PTO to function.
TROUBLESHOOTING Electrical Troubleshooting Guide 1. Always ensure that there is power supplied to the computer (TCM). With the key switch in the Off position, check to ensure the LED light for the Power input (J) is turned on. If the light is not on: a. Check the battery disconnect switch to ensure it is turned on. b. Check the 10 amp fuse in slot #10 of the front fuse panel. Replace this fuse, if necessary. 2. Turn the key switch to the On position and check to see if any of the other lights turn on.
TROUBLESHOOTING Engine Symptom: Possible Cause: Starter will not engage. Battery disconnect switch in Off position. Blown fuse in power relay module. Blown fuse in start circuit. Parking brake is not engaged. Parking brake switch is out of adjustment. Power unit not in neutral. Neutral switch is out of adjustment. Low battery voltage. Engine cranks, but won’t start. Fuel shut-off valve is turned off. Insufficient fuel level. Faulty fuel pump. Plugged fuel filters. Fuel tank vent not operating.
TROUBLESHOOTING Engine (Continued) Symptom: Possible Cause: Engine overheats. Dirty radiator screen. Low coolant level. Debris in engine compartment. Defective radiator cap. Defective thermostat. Loose alternator fan belt. Blown head gasket. Oil light comes on when running. Low oil level. Faulty oil sender. Faulty or plugged oil pump. Engine emits white smoke. Low engine temperature. Faulty head gasket. Water in combustion chamber. Excessive fuel consumption.
