Driving - Kubota K008-3 Operating Instructions Manual


Pull out the safety bolts (1 and 2).

Pull out the locking bolts (3 and 4).

Grasp the upper part (5) of the safety bar firmly with both
hands at the highest point possible above the swivel joints.

Slowly swivel the upper part of the safety bar downward.
Take care to assure that your hands are not
crushed during the downward movement.
The excavator must not be operated when the
safety bar has been swivelled downward. Always
carry out work with the safety bar swivelled upward,
unless you drive through a low passageway on a
flat surface.

Swivelling the roll-over saftey bar upward is effected in
reverse order.
Make sure that the roll-over safety bar in the swiv-
elled upward position is locked by the locking bolts
(previous figure/3 and 4) and secured by the safety
bolts (previous figure/1 and 2).

Driving


Push both drive levers simultaneously forward to drive the excavator straight. Releasing the drive levers
stops the excavator immediately.
To reverse the excavator, pull both drive levers back simultaneously.
(A) Forward
(B) Reverse
If the dozer is not at the front, as shown in the
figure, but at the rear, the operation of the drive
levers is exactly opposite. Drive levers forward
→ the excavator drives backwards.
