accident.
Read and understand this manual carefully, before
operating the excavator.
Every user, however experienced, should carefully read
and understand this manual and those of the attachments
and accessories before operating the excavator. The
owner is obliged to inform all operators of these
instructions in detail.
Keep this manual in the storage location. (See "Where to
keep Operator's Manual" in "MAINTENANCE" section.)
1.
BEFORE OPERATION
1. Know your equipment and its limitations. Read and
understand this entire manual before attempting to
start and operate the excavator.
2. Obey the danger, warning and caution labels on the
machine.
3. For your safety, a ROPS/OPG (Top Guard Level I)
with a seat belt is installed by KUBOTA.
A ROPS: Roll-Over Protective Structure
A OPG (Top Guard Level I): Operator Protective
Guards of Top Guard Level I
Always use the seat belt when the machine is
equipped with a ROPS/OPG (Top Guard Level I) as
this combination will reduce the risk of serious injury or
death, should the excavator be upset or falling objects
occur.
Do not modify any structural members of the ROPS/
OPG (Top Guard Level I) by welding, drilling, bending,
grinding or cutting, as this may weaken the structure.
If any component is damaged, replace it. Do not
attempt repairs. If the ROPS/OPG (Top Guard Level I)
is loosened or removed for any reason, make sure all
parts are reinstalled correctly. Tighten mounting bolts
to proper torque.
4. ROPS meets requirements of ISO 12117-2.
OPG (Top Guard Level I) meets requirements of
OSHA 1926 1003/ISO 10262.
5. The seat belt must be inspected regularly and
replaced if frayed or damaged.

operating the unit slowly and at low engine speed.
