• Only operate the machine in well-ventilated area to
avoid poisoning from
odorless, colorless gas that is deadly.
• Never remove any of the safety features on the
machine.
– Make sure that all safety features, including
guards, protective devices, doors, and cabin
are functioning normally, properly secured, and
in good condition.
Repair and replace any lost or damaged
protective features.
– Carefully read the operator's manual in order to
understand the proper use of safety features
such as armrest,
equipment.
Make sure that you use the armrest, the seat
belt, and other equipment properly.
– Make sure that all safety features are in good
operating condition and remove only when
repair is needed.
– Make sure to use appropriate protective doors,
windows, and screens (such as polycarbonate
door), depending upon application. KUBOTA
recommends the use of a polycarbonate door
for high impact applications such as a hammer
or mulcher.
• To avoid injury, always keep hands and body inside
the protective structures such as ROPS and the
FOPS whenever operating the machine.
Never operate the machine using control levers,
pedal and switches from outside the operator's
cabin while the machine is running.
• Always keep the heavy end of the machine up
when traveling up or down an incline to avoid any
possibility of rolling over of the machine.
• Place the bucket at the following distance from the
ground when moving up or down an incline.
Prepare to lower the bucket to the ground in case of
emergency.

SAFE OPERATION
going up or down an incline by reducing the engine
speed (rpm). Place the stroke of the left control
(traveling) lever at half speed or less when going
down an incline.
Traveling too fast down an incline can cause the
operator to lose control of the machine.
When going up or down an incline, keep the travel
speed switch low speed position.
• Avoid stopping the machine suddenly on an incline,
which can cause the machine to become unstable
and rollover.
• Never cross an incline horizontally or at an angle,
which can cause the machine to rollover.
Approach inclines vertically to avoid loss of control.
• Take care when moving the machine in slippery or
unstable surfaces such as grass, fallen leaves,
metal plates, or ice, as it may skid out of control. Do
not allow the machine to be oriented diagonally to
grass, fallen leaves, metal plates, or ice surfaces.
• Watch where you are going at all times. Watch for
and avoid obstacles. Remain alert for trees, wires,
and other obstructions.
• Avoid any sudden movements while moving and
operating the machine such as stopping, starting or
turning.
Do not raise the armrests while the machine is in
motion. Raise the armrests while the machine is in
motion will cause the parking brake to engage and
could cause an accident or injury.
• Avoid driving the machine over any obstacles,
which could cause loss of control. If an obstacle
cannot be avoided, always place the bucket close
to the ground and move slowly over the obstacle.
Do not approach an obstacle at an angle, which
could cause the machine to rollover.
• Avoid performing any work with the machine when
it is on an incline, which could cause the machine to
become unbalanced and rollover.
Always take care when moving the machine on an
incline.
Always make sure that the heavy end of the
machine is facing up the incline when moving the
machine up or down the incline.
