Notes For Using Wider And Deeper Buckets; Operating The Dozer Blade - Kubota KX61-3 Operating Instructions Manual

Operation
•
Never use the bucket as a hammer to drive posts into the ground.
•
Do not drive or dig with the bucket teeth rammed into the ground.
•
When loading soil, do not dig the bucket deeply into the ground. Instead, make relatively shallow slices
with the bucket out as far as possible. This technique reduces the stress on the bucket.
•
When working in water, the water should only reach up the lower edge of the swivel frame.
•
After using the machine in water, always grease the pins at the bucket and arm with grease until the old
lubricating grease emerges.
•
When digging with the boom above the dozer, make sure that the boom cylinder does not come into con-
tact with the dozer.
•
It is forbidden to use the excavator for lifting operations, unless it is equipped with a pipe safety valve for
crane operation (accessories) according to EN 474-5.
•
Adhering soil can be shaken off when the bucket is being emptied by moving the cylinder to the end of the
stroke. Should this not suffice, swing out the arm as far as possible and operate the bucket back and forth.
•
When excavating, always lower the dozer completely onto the ground.

Notes for using wider and deeper buckets

When using a wider or deeper bucket take care
when swinging or pulling in the front attachments
that the bucket does not hit the cabin or the can-
opy.

Operating the dozer blade

When working with the dozer blade, operate both
drive levers with the left hand and the dozer control
lever with the right hand.
•
To lift the dozer blade, pull the dozer control lever (1) back.
•
To lower the dozer blade, push the dozer control lever (1)
forward.
