B1830, B2230, B2530, B3030, WSM SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY FIRST
This symbol, the industry’s “Safety Alert Symbol”, is used throughout this manual and on labels on
the machine itself to warn of the possibility of personal injury. Read these instructions carefully.
It is essential that you read the instructions and safety regulations before you attempt to repair or use
this unit.
DANGER : Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in
death or serious injury.
WARNING : Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
CAUTION : Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in
minor or moderate injury.
■ IMPORTANT : Indicates that equipment or property damage could result if instructions are not
followed.
■ NOTE : Gives helpful information.
BEFORE SERVICING AND REPAIRING

• Read all instructions and safety instructions in this
manual and on your machine safety decals.
• Clean the work area and machine.
• Park the machine on a firm and level ground, and set
the parking brake.
• Lower the implement to the ground.
• Stop the engine, and remove the key.
• Disconnect the battery negative cable.
• Hang a “DO NOT OPERATE” tag in operator
station.

1
SAFETY STARTING
• Do not start the engine by shorting across starter
terminals or bypassing the safety start switch.
• Do not alter or remove any part of machine safety
system.
• Before starting the engine, make sure that all shift
levers are in neutral positions or in disengaged
positions.
• Never start the engine while standing on ground.
Start the engine only from operator’s seat.
SAFETY WORKING
• Do not work on the machine while under the influence
of alcohol, medication, or other substances or while
fatigued.
• Wear close fitting clothing and safety equipment
appropriate to the job.
• Use tools appropriate to the work. Makeshift tools,
parts, and procedures are not recommended.
• When servicing is performed together by two or more
persons, take care to perform all work safely.
• Do not work under the machine that is supported
solely by a jack. Always support the machine by
safety stands.
• Do not touch the rotating or hot parts while the engine
is running.
• Never remove the radiator cap while the engine is
running, or immediately after stopping. Otherwise, hot
water will spout out from radiator. Only remove
radiator cap when cool enough to touch with bare
hands. Slowly loosen the cap to first stop to relieve
pressure before removing completely.
• Escaping fluid (fuel or hydraulic oil) under pressure
can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Relieve
pressure before disconnecting hydraulic or fuel lines.
Tighten all connections before applying pressure.
AVOID FIRES
• Fuel is extremely flammable and explosive under
certain conditions. Do not smoke or allow flames or
sparks in your working area.
• To avoid sparks from an accidental short circuit,
always disconnect the battery negative cable first and
connect it last.
• Battery gas can explode. Keep sparks and open
flame away from the top of battery, especially when
charging the battery.
• Make sure that no fuel has been spilled on the engine.

2
VENTILATE WORK AREA

• If the engine must be running to do some work, make
sure the area is well ventilated. Never run the engine
in a closed area. The exhaust gas contains poisonous
carbon monoxide.
PREVENT ACID BURNS

• Sulfuric acid in battery electrolyte is poisonous. It is
strong enough to burn skin, clothing and cause
blindness if splashed into eyes. Keep electrolyte
away from eyes, hands and clothing. If you spill
electrolyte on yourself, flush with water, and get
medical attention immediately.
DISPOSE OF FLUIDS PROPERLY

• Do not pour fluids into the ground, down a drain, or
into a stream, pond, or lake. Observe relevant
environmental protection regulations when disposing
of oil, fuel, coolant, electrolyte and other harmful
waste.
PREPARE FOR EMERGENCIES

• Keep a first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy at all
times.
• Keep emergency numbers for doctors, ambulance
service, hospital and fire department near your
telephone.

SAFETY DECALS
The following safety decals are installed on the machine.
If a decal becomes damaged, illegible or is not on the machine, replace it. The decal part number is listed in
the parts list.

2. GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
• During disassembly, carefully arrange removed parts in a clean
area to prevent confusion later. Screws, bolts and nuts should be
installed in their original position to prevent reassembly errors.
• When special tools are required, use KUBOTA genuine special
tools. Special tools which are not frequently used should be
made according to the drawings provided.
• Before disassembling or servicing electrical wires, always
disconnect the ground cable from the battery first.
• Remove oil and dirt from parts before measuring.
• Use only KUBOTA genuine parts for parts replacement to
maintain machine performance and to assure safety.
• Gaskets and O-rings must be replaced during reassembly.
Apply grease to new O-rings or oil seals before assembling.
See the figure left side.
• When reassembling external snap rings or internal snap rings,
they must be positioned so that sharp edge faces against the
direction from which a force is applied. See the figure left side.
• When inserting spring pins, their splits must face the direction
from which a force is applied. See the figure left side.
• To prevent damage to the hydraulic system, use only specified
fluid or equivalent.

Checking Battery Condition
DANGER
• Do not use or charge the refillable type battery if the fluid
level is below the LOWER (lower limit level) mark.
Otherwise, the battery component parts may prematurely
deteriorate, which may shorten the battery's service life or
cause an explosion. Check the fluid level regularly and add
distilled water as required so that the fluid level is between
the UPPER and LOWER levels.
CAUTION
• Never remove the vent plugs while the engine is running.
• Keep electrolyte away from eyes, hands and clothes. If you
are spattered with it, wash it away completely with water
immediately and get medical attention.
• Wear eye protection and rubber gloves when working
around battery.
■ NOTE
• The factory-installed battery is of non-refillable type. If the
indicator turns white, do not charge the battery but replace
it with new one.
1. Mishandling the battery shortens the service life and adds to
maintenance costs.
2. The original battery is maintenance free type battery, needs
some servicing.
If the battery is weak, the engine is difficult to start and the lights
be dim. It is important to check the battery periodically.
(1) Vent Cap A : Upper Level
B : Lower Level
W1015551

G-20
Checking Battery Condition (Continued)
CAUTION
• When the battery is being activated, hydrogen and oxygen
gases in the battery are extremely explosive. Keep open
sparks and flames away from the battery at all times,
especially when charging the battery.
• When charging the battery, ensure the vent caps are
securely in place. (If equipped.)
• When disconnecting the cable from the battery, start with
the negative terminal first.
• When connecting the cable to the battery, start with the
positive terminal first
• Never check battery charge by placing a metal object across
the posts.
Use a voltmeter or hydrometer.
(For accessible maintainable type batteries with removable
vent caps.)
1. Make sure each electrolyte level is to the bottom of vent wells, if
necessary add distilled water in a well-ventilated area.
2. The water in the electrolyte evaporates during recharging. Liquid
shortage damages the battery. Excessive liquid spills over and
damages the tractor body.
3. To slow charge the battery, connect the battery positive terminal
to the charger positive terminal and the negative to the negative,
then recharge in the normal manner.
4. A boost charge is only for emergencies. It will partially charge the
battery at a high rate and in s short time.
When using a boost-charged battery, it is necessary to recharge
the battery as early as possible.
Failure to do this will shorten the battery's service life.
5. When the specific gravity of electrolyte is between 1.27 and 1.29,
the charging is completed.
6. When exchanging an old battery for a new one, use battery of
equal specification shown in TABLE 1.

■ Battery Storage
1. When storing the tractor for a long period, remove the battery
from tractor, adjust the electrolyte to the proper level and store in
a dry place out of direct sunlight.
2. The battery self-discharges while it is stored.
Recharge it once every three months in hot seasons and once
every six months in cold seasons.

Cleaning Air Cleaner Primary Element

1. Remove the air cleaner cover (3) and element (primary) (5) or (2).
2. Clean the element (primary) (2) :
- When dry dust adheres to the element, blow compressed air
from the inside, turning the element. Pressure of compressed
air must be under 205 kPa (2.1 kgf/cm2, 30 psi).
- When carbon or oil adheres to the element, soak the element
in detergent for 15 minutes then wash it several times in water,
rinse with clean water and dry it naturally. After element is fully
dried, inspect inside of the element with a light and check if it is
damaged or not.
3. When replacing the air cleaner element (primary) (2), replace the
secondary element (4) as well :
Once a year or after every six times of cleaning, whichever
comes first.
■ IMPORTANT
• The air cleaner uses a dry element, never apply oil.
• Do not run the engine with filter element removed.
• Be sure to refit the dust cup with the arrow ↑ (on the rear of
cup) upright. If the dust cup is improperly fitted, evacuator
valve will not function and dust will adhere to the element.
• Do not touch the secondary element except in cases where
replacing is required.
• To prevent serious damages to the engine, use only a
KUBOTA genuine filter.
■ Evacuator Valve
Open the evacuator valve (4) once a week under ordinary

■ IMPORTANT
• When the fuel filter bowl has been removed, fuel stops
flowing from the fuel tank. If the fuel tank is almost full,
however, the fuel will flow back from the fuel return pipe to
the fuel filter. Before checking, make sure the fuel tank is
less than half-full.
• If dust, dirt or water enters the fuel system, the fuel pump
and injection nozzles are subject to premature wear. To
prevent this, be sure to clean the fuel filter bowl and element
periodically.
