SAFE OPERATION
Careful operation is your best insurance against an
accident.
Read and understand this Operator's Manual carefully
before operating the vehicle.
All operators, no matter how much experience they may
have, should read this and other related manuals before
operating the vehicle or any implement attached to it. It is
the owner's obligation to instruct all operators in safe
operation.
1. BEFORE OPERATING THE VEHICLE
1. Know your equipment and its limitations. Read this
entire manual before attempting to start and operate
the vehicle.
2. Pay special attention to the Danger, Warning and
Caution labels on the vehicle.
3. Do not remove Roll-Over Protective Structures
(ROPS) for any application and fasten seat belts at all
times. This combination will reduce the risk of serious
injury or death, should the vehicle be upset.
If the ROPS is loosened or removed for any reason,
make sure that all parts are reinstalled correctly before
operating the vehicle.
Never modify or repair a ROPS because welding,
bending, drilling, grinding, or cutting may weaken the
structure.
If any structural member of the ROPS is damaged,
replace the entire structure at your local KUBOTA
Dealer.
(1) ROPS
(2) Seat belt
4. Always use the seat belts. Check the seat belts
regularly and replace if frayed or damaged.
5. Do not operate the vehicle or any implement attached
to it while under the influence of alcohol, medication,
controlled substances or while fatigued.
SAFE OPERATION
6. Carefully check the vicinity before operating the
vehicle or any implement attached to it. Check for
overhead clearance which may interfere with the CAB
or ROPS. Do not allow any bystanders around or near
the vehicle during operation.
7. Never allow anyone under age 16 or without a valid
driver's license to operate this vehicle.
8. Before allowing other people to use your vehicle,
explain how to operate and have them read this
manual before operation.
9. Never wear loose, torn, or bulky clothing around the
vehicle. It may catch on moving parts or controls,
leading to the risk of an accident. Use additional safety
items, e.g. helmet, safety boots or shoes, eye and
hearing protection, gloves, etc., as appropriate or
required.
10. In addition to the driver, only 1 passenger should ride
in the vehicle.
Minimum age for passenger is 5 years old.
11. Keep all shields in place and stay away from all
moving parts.
12. Check brakes, speed control pedal, and other
mechanical parts for improper adjustment and wear.
Replace worn or damaged parts promptly. Check the
tightness of all nuts and bolts regularly. (For further
details, see "MAINTENANCE" section.)
13. Keep your vehicle clean. Dirt, grease, and trash build
up may contribute to fires and lead to personal injury.
14. Use only implements meeting the specifications listed
under "VEHICLE LIMITATIONS" in this manual or
implements approved by KUBOTA.
15. The maximum cargo capacity of this vehicle is 500 kg.
Reduce cargo capacity to match operating conditions.
Avoid top-heavy loading and ensure that the center-of-
gravity remains as low as possible.
Do not carry anything which sticks outside the cargo
bed.
16. Do not modify the vehicle. Unauthorized modification
may affect the function of the vehicle, which may result
in personal injury.
17. Do not carry small children on lap.
