Kioti DK50SE HST owners manual

[melroseacres]

Hi everyone,

Long time lurker, first time poster. I took delivery of my Kioti DK50SE HST today. This is my first non lawn mower tractor. Unfortunately when my tractor arrived it didn't come with an owners manual. I can get my dealer to mail me one, but in the meantime is there a copy of the owners manual online somewhere? I'm excited to read through it to learn my tractor. If not online does anyone have a digital copy they could send me.

Thanks!

the manual is too large and too many pages to copy and email....i dont recall anything online as far as the owners manual goes. There are parts manuals online though.

cant believe it didnt come with one...that blows. I got mine 3 days BEFORE tractor was delivered.

Welcome to TBN, the Dealer should not have delivered without a Owners Manual.

I can get my dealer to mail me one

How far away from home is your dealer?

If you have any specific questions about operation, I would be happy to try to help.

Hdoilcan - The dealer is about an hour or so away. So it's really not the end of the world if I need to drive there. But I figured I'd throw this post out there because the dealer was closed at the time and if I could find an online resource then I could save myself 2 hours round-trip and just use the online version until my dealer got me a manual in the mail.

K0ua - Thanks for the offer. The main reason I wanted the manual was because I was having trouble getting my tractor started. This has to be prefaced with the fact that it was -25 degrees celcius out and when the dealer delivered I couldn't put it into the barn right away because its snowed in up to the barn and the hydraulics were so cold that I didn't want to try to clear the the barn. I can get the tractor started no problem, but when I try to increase the throttle the engine dies. I'm not sure if this is an issue because of the cold, or whether there is something I am missing. It's warming up to -3 tomorrow, so I plan on just curbing my enthusiasm and waiting until tomorrow to give the tractor a workout. When it's -3 and I have the block heater plugged in, I'm hoping that I don't have this throttle issue.

Hnm.. this sounds like a fuel delivery issue. Is it possible your fuel is gelling?. The recommended dosage of white bottle power service would be where I would start. You might have to buy some diesel 911 to get it going, but I would dose that tank first thing. Usually when diesels die when the throttle is opened it means the fuel cannot be delivered for some reason.

Thanks K0ua for confirming my suspicion. I'm not sure about the quality of the diesel in the tractor, it's still the diesel that the dealer provided. I would hope that they were giving me non-gelled winter diesel, but I'd also hope for an owners manual. I already own the white bottle power service so I'll add some of that and see if it helps. If it doesn't work I'll go out and buy some diesel 911 and try that.

Call the dealer and have them come out with the manual and solve your starting issue. I'm tired of dealers (tractor, cars, etc) promising the world before you buy then disappear after the sale. Stay on them. Tractor was probably sitting on the lot with a 1/4 tank of fuel initially and condensation resulted in water in the tank.

What? you think that 1/2 inch of ice in the bottom of the thank has something to do with it?
Just kidding, but who knows there may be a bunch of condensate turned to ice in there for all I know. I bet it has summer fuel in it.
