Anti-Theft System; Black (Individual) Key; Red Key (For Registering) - Kubota KX015-4 Operating Instructions Manual

Operation

Anti-theft system

The excavator is equipped with an anti-theft system that restricts the engine to be started using a registered key
only. If a registered key gets lost or stolen, you can invalidate it. This will prevent the engine from being started
with this key, thus protecting the vehicle against theft. The anti-theft system makes it difficult to steal the machine.
However, it can not fully prevent theft.
If the starter switch is set to STOP, the indicator light (1) is illuminat-
ed, indicating the activation of the anti-theft system.
Make sure that the indicator light is illuminated when leaving the
machine.
The vehicle comes with two different types of keys:

Black (individual) key

This key is used to start the engine.
!
The engine can be started by inserting the key and turning it to
!
the START position.
To be able to start the engine with a black key, it must be reg-
!
istered using the red key.
The engine can be started only with a key that was registered for the particular vehicle.
The scope of delivery includes two black keys, among them a spare key. The two black keys have
already been registered. Up to four keys can be registered.

Red key (for registering)

If one of the black keys is lost, another black key can be registered using the red key (page 111).
!
The engine can not be started with the red key.
