Operating The Auxiliary Port - Kubota KX61-3 Operating Instructions Manual

Operating the auxiliary port

Implements are operated using the auxiliary port.
Only implements approved by KUBOTA may be used. The implements must be operated in
accordance with the operating instructions supplied with them.
With the use of a breaker or another attachment for demolition work, where material (e.g. as-
phalt) is removed and can uncontrollably sputter away, personal protective equipment is abso-
lutely to be worn (safety shoes, safety helmet, eye protection, ear protection and if necessary
facial mask). The use of a gravel guard (front protective grid) is recommended. For excavation
work with a cab, the front window must be closed, in addition. For demolition (according to EN
474-1, Annex G), e.g. tearing down walls, the corresponding protective equipment is required
(e.g. gravel guard).
For auxiliary port specifications, see the "Specifications" section (page 35).
The auxiliary port pedal (figure below, position 1) may only be activated when an implement is
attached.
If the auxiliary port has not been in use over a long period of time, dirt may have accumulated on
the pipe connections. Before installing the implement, drain approx. 0.1 L of hydraulic oil at each
port.
Catch the drained hydraulic oil in a container and discard it in accordance with the valid environ-
mental regulations.
The auxiliary port pedal can be secured against
inadvertent operation by lowering the locking flap
(1). Fold the locking flap when the auxiliary port
pedal is not in use.
