Operating The Auxiliary Port - Kubota KX027 Operating Instructions Manual

Operating the auxiliary port

The auxiliary port serves for operating attachments.
Only attachments approved by KUBOTA may be used. The attachments must be operated in accord-
STOP
ance with the operating instructions supplied with them.
When using a breaker or other attachment for demolition work where material (e.g. asphalt) is re-
moved and can uncontrollably sputter away, personal protective equipment is to be worn at all times
STOP
(safety shoes, safety helmet, eye protection, ear protection and, if necessary, a breathing 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.
The performance data for the auxiliary port can be found in the "Technical data" section (page 39).
Make sure that, before carrying out the activities in the auxiliary port connectors, the hydraulic system
(page 104) has been depressurised. Depending on the operation setting, the return change valve
STOP
has to be set to the appropriate position (page 103).
The auxiliary ports may only be activated when an implement is attached.
If the auxiliary port has not been used for a long period of time, dirt particles could have accumulated
on the connectors of the conduits. Before installing the attachment, drain approx. 0.1 L of hydraulic
oil at each port.
Collect the drained hydraulic oil in a container and discard it in accordance with the valid environ-
mental regulations.
Models KX027-4 and KX030-4 are equipped with a hydraulic auxil-
iary port. An auxiliary port connector (1) is located on both the left
and right side of the arm. The auxiliary port function is controlled
with the auxiliary port pedal.
Models KX027-4 HI and KX030-4 HI are equipped with two hydrau-
lic auxiliary ports. One connector each for auxiliary port 1 (2) and
auxiliary port 2 (3) is located on the right and left side of the arm.
The auxiliary port functions are each controlled with the rocker
switch for auxiliary port 1 and the rocker switch for auxiliary port 2.
Start the engine (page 77) and idle it until the operating temper-

ature has been reached.
The auxiliary ports can only be switched off by turning the key switch to the STOP position or by lifting
