If the electrical system fails, the engine can be shut off manually.

To stop the engine:



Open the engine compartment cover (1) (page 74).



Open the cap (1) on the fuse holder and remove the fuse.



The protective roof or cab is designed as roll-over protection (ROPS) and has been tested.



The seat belt must be fastened while the excavator is being operated.



Do not make any structural changes to the roll-over protection.



At the time of damage, please contact your KUBOTA dealer. (Do not repair!)

Never operate the excavator without the roll-over protection.

If hydraulic oil gets into the eyes, rinse them immediately with clear water and subsequently seek medical aid.

Do not allow hydraulic oil to contact the skin or clothing. Skin parts which may have come in contact with hy-

draulic oil must be washed with water and soap immediately, if possible. Do this thoroughly and repeatedly,

otherwise there is a risk of damage to the skin.

Immediately take off any clothes dirtied or soaked with hydraulic oil.

Persons who have inhaled hydraulic oil vapours (mist) should be taken to a doctor immediately.

If leaks have occurred in the hydraulic system, the excavator may not be taken into operation or, if in operation,

operation must cease at once.

Do not use the naked hand to search for leaks; always use a piece of wood or cardboard. Protective clothing

(eye protection and gloves) must be worn when seeking leaks.

Leaking hydraulic oil must be bound immediately with an oil binding agent. The contaminated oil binding agent

must be stored in suitable containers and in accordance with the valid regulations.

In the event of fire in the electrical or hydraulic system, use a CO

fire extinguisher to combat the fire.
