2. Clean danger, warning and caution labels with soap and water, dry with a soft cloth. 3. Replace damaged or missing danger, warning and caution labels with new labels from your local KUBOTA dealer. 4. If a component with danger, warning and caution label (s) affixed is replaced with new part, make sure new label (s) is (are) attached in the same location (s) as the replaced component.
However, when in need of parts or major service, be sure to see your KUBOTA dealer. For service, contact the KUBOTA dealership from which you purchased your loader or your local KUBOTA dealer. When in need of parts, be prepared to give your dealer the loader serial number.
PRE-OPERATION CHECK PRE-OPERATION CHECK LUBRICATION TREAD Lubricate all grease fittings with SAE multipurpose 1. Set the front tread as follows. grease. Front Tread M100GX, M110GX 1677 mm (66.0 in.) M126GX, M135GX 1875 mm (73.8 in.) A Setting the tread wider than recommended may cause premature failure of the front axle components due to excessive stress.
PRE-OPERATION CHECK REAR BALLAST To avoid personal injury: A For tractor stability and operator's safety, rear ballast should be added to the rear of the tractor in the form of 3-point counter weight and rear wheel ballast. The amount of rear ballast will depend on the application.
PRE-OPERATION CHECK TEST OPERATION REMOVING AIR FROM THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM Repeat raising and lowering the boom and bucket To avoid serious personal injury: operations until all the air is removed from the system and A Keep engine speed at low idle during the test the system responds properly.
OPERATING THE LOADER OPERATING THE LOADER FILLING THE BUCKET The loader should be operated with the tractor engine speed depending on the application and the operator's Approach and enter the pile with a level bucket. level of experience. Excessive speeds are dangerous, and may cause bucket spillage and unnecessary strain on the tractor and loader.
OPERATING THE LOADER LIFTING THE LOAD When transporting a load, keep the bucket as low as possible to avoid tipping, in case a wheel drops in a rut. When lifting the load, keep the bucket positioned to avoid spillage. DUMPING THE BUCKET Lift the bucket just high enough to clear the side of the vehicle.
OPERATING THE LOADER OPERATING WITH FLOAT CONTROL Side cutting is a good technique for cutting down a big pile. Wheel width should not exceed the bucket width for During operation on hard surfaces, keep the bucket level this procedure. and put the lift control in the float position to permit the bucket to float on the working surfaces.
OPERATING THE LOADER PEELING AND SCRAPING LOADING LOW TRUCKS OR SPREADERS FROM A PILE Use a slight bucket down angle, travel forward, and hold the lift control forward to start the cut. Make a short cut For faster loading, minimize the angle of turn and length and break-out cleanly.
OPERATING THE LOADER BACKFILLING Leave dirt which drifts over the side of the bucket for final cleanup. Approach the pile with the bucket flat. Pile dirt on the high side for easier backfilling on a slope. Poor operating methods will move less dirt and make it more difficult to hold a level grade.
OPERATING THE LOADER VALVE LOCK BOOM CYLINDER FULCRUM A Before repositioning the boom cylinder fulcrum, place the front attachment in contact with a flat ground. To avoid injury from crushing: A Do not utilize the valve lock for machine This loader is provided with two boom cylinder fulcrums (A maintenance or repair.
OPERATING THE LOADER SELF LEVELING (if equipped) To avoid personal injury: A Always be aware of the loader attachment angle. Self-leveling function vary depending on the loader lever stroke. A Self-leveling feature is primarily designed for bale spear and pallet fork applications. Therefore, variance may occur with other loader attachments.

OPERATING THE LOADER Recommendations 2. Self Leveling is "OFF". Motion is same as the regular loader. 1. Self Leveling is "ON". a) For pallet fork operation a) For pallet fork operation The pallet fork can be raised up and lowered horizontally.
Page 31
OPERATING THE LOADER The self-leveling valve has been factory-set to use the boom cylinder fulcrum at the top position (A). When it is switched to the bottom position (B), the self-leveling valve must be readjusted. 5) If the pallet fork angle is not within the angle shown in the illustration, readjust the self-leveling.
Page 32
OPERATING THE LOADER A When the pendulum indicates the vertical line of the jig (marked "V"), the bucket (or pallet fork) is flat. 2) Lower the boom until the bucket (or pallet fork) slightly contact to the ground. 3) If the bucket (or pallet fork) angle is not within the angle shown in the illustration, readjust the self- leveling.
OPERATING THE LOADER FRONT REMOTE HYDRAULIC CONTROL SYSTEM (if equipped) This system can be used for a front mounted hydraulic implement, as it provides hydraulic oil to the front outlet directly. BInstall the Coupler 1. Remove the cap from the front hydraulic outlet. 2.
