DK 35 shop manual

[ortiesdad]

Well, I'm nearing my 50 hour checkup and need to find a big, thick manual that assists in doing the maintenance and some minor repairs...anyone know where I can purchase and how much?

About my front loader problem, my dealer is mailing to me a new hydraulic hose as he feels it's defective and the reason that I can't lower the front bucket...any thoughts?

Me to. I also need a shop manual for my DK35. If somebody can point me in the right direction also that would be most appreciated.

I purchased a workmans manual for CK30HST, which has quite a few typos and or missing data. I would contact KiotiJohn and ask him if that manual is better then the one I purchased.

The only manual I had a contract to rewrite was the CK25/30 owner's manual. It does, however, have instructions for changing out fluids and filters.

All of Daedong's manuals are written in Konglish (korean english)and leave a lot to be desired.

Any Kioti dealer should be able to get manuals for you if available.

John,
Perhaps somebody with an intimate knowledge of Kioti and the ability to decipher Konglish (you need to be looking in the mirror at this point) could produce a pocket size guide to the Kioti line with a particular focus on maintenance and operational issues. I think someone with the entrepreneurial spirit could stand to earn a few bucks, and I think the book would sell itself.

Are the Kioti Manuals worth getting? Is there any source of information besides this forum and going to the dealer??

Old ones weren't as good as the newer ones.
The old ones were $65 the new ones somewhere around $150.

I got the CK25/30 manual and it does give a lot of good info. It has wiring and hydraulic diagrams. I think I paid $110. I have a high standard for tech manuals because of the business I'm in, and this one wouldn't measure up in that arena. That said, I think it was worth the money. It has the information I wanted, and it's a huge (really huge) improvement over the Chinglish manual I got with my Chinese tractor.

If you guys want to help.. I'd setup a 'wiki' on the web which everyone can edit and add info to for an online how-to with the Kioti's.

Rob, I must confess, I don't have any idea what a “wiki” is or how to use one. That is true with a lot of things with me, but a little more information on the subject might help.

A wiki is an editable Web site that does not require users to know HTML. Most have a system to record changes so that, at any time, a page can be reverted to any of its previous states.

If you can edit a post on this forum.. you can handle a wiki.
It will allow anyone to edit a page to correct it or add content to it.

Check out Main Page - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia for the mother of all wiki's.

Sounds like a great idea .... I wonder about copywrite, etc. But the bottom line, is a more Saisified Kioti owner = more Kioti owners.....

Thanks for the explanation. I have been directed to Wikipedia several time while Googling a variety of different subjects.

Conceptually it seems like a good idea, but obviously success is highly dependent upon participation. As far as copyright infringement goes and with the caveat that I am no legal expert, (I don’t even play one on TV ) it is my understanding that as long as large segments of published manuals are not used verbatim and an additional value is added to the text, then it would most likely fall under the reasonable use doctrine. With that said, I would be in favor of it.

To be on the safe side I've already contacted Kioti on the idea. I used the contact form on the website on Thursday night.

I'm looking to create a place to share photos and info on the tractors. A Kioti specific site for owners to help each other basically.

I'll start a new thread to get input from everyone.. if they like the idea and what they would want.
