Kubota Z411-AU Operator's Manual page 14

• Charge batteries in an open, well-ventilated area,
away from spark and flames. A battery, especially
when charging, will give off hydrogen and oxygen
gases, which can explode and cause serious
personal injury.
• Unplug the charger
disconnecting from battery.
• Before "jump starting" a dead battery, read and
observe all of the instructions:
• Disconnect the battery or remove the spark plug
wire before making any repairs.
Disconnect the negative terminal first and the
positive last. Reconnect the positive first and
negative last. Wear protective clothing and use
insulated tools.
• 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.
• Keep a first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy at all
times.
• Never allow untrained personnel to service the
machine. Do not attempt to mount a tire on a rim
unless qualified to do so and all proper safety
precautions are followed.
• Always maintain the correct tire inflation pressure.
Do not inflate tires above the recommended
pressure shown in the operator's manual.
• Provide adequate support when changing wheels.
• Make sure that wheel nuts and bolts have been
tightened to the specified torque.
• Keep hands and feet away from moving parts. If
possible, do not make adjustments or repairs with
the engine running.
• Keep the machine free of grass, leaves, or other
debris build-up.
• Do not change the engine governor setting or
overspeed the engine.
• Do not run the machine inside a closed area.

SAFE OPERATION
• Mower blades are sharp and can cut your hands.
Wrap the blade(s) or wear gloves, and use extra
caution when servicing them. Never straighten or
weld blades.
• Keep nuts and bolts, especially blade attachment
bolts, tight and keep equipment in good condition.
• Never tamper with safety devices. Check their
operation for proper function regularly.
• Waste products such as used oil, fuel, coolant,
brake fluid, and
environment, people, pets and wildlife. Please
dispose of the waste products properly.
• Do not use beverage containers for waste fluids or
other products. Someone, particularly children, may
drink them by mistake.
• Securely support the machine or any machine
elements with stands or suitable blocking before
working underneath. For your safety, do not rely on
hydraulically supported devices as they may leak
down, suddenly drop or be accidently lowered.
• Consult your local recycling center or KUBOTA
Dealer to learn how to recycle or get rid of waste
products.
– A material safety data sheet (MSDS) provides
specific details on chemical products, physical
and health hazards, safety procedures, and
emergency response techniques. The seller of
the chemical products used with your machine
is responsible for providing the MSDS for that
product upon request.
2. Storage
• Keep the machine and supply of fuel in locked
storage and remove the ignition key to prevent
children or others from playing or tampering with
them.
• To avoid sparks from an accidental short circuit,
always disconnect the battery's ground cable (-)
first and reconnect it last.
