MACHINE PRECAUTION

MACHINE PRECAUTION
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON
MACHINE OPERATION
• Do not operate the machine on loose rock or gravel
(hard or soft).
• Avoid moving the machine when the lift arms and
the bucket are in the raised position. If you must
move the machine when the lift arms and the
bucket are raised, take care to travel at low speeds
in order to maintain control of the machine at all
times.
• Always avoid working on an incline as the machine
can become unstable and rollover, causing serious
injury or death.
• Whenever the machine is in motion, keep the
bucket as close to the ground as possible.
Never change directions when the bucket is in the
raised position.
• Always move the machine at speeds that are
appropriate to the conditions.
Take particular care if you are ever moving through
areas where view may be obstructed or when
transporting hazardous material.
• Never operate the machine in the vicinity of
explosive gases. Always keep exhaust from
machine away from any combustible material.
• Never turn or spin the machine at high speed.
• Never approach an incline horizontally, which can
cause the tire to slide off and cause excessive
wearing of tires.
• Never exceed the operating capacity of the
machine.
• Never use the machine to move material or perform
work that exceeds the capacity of the bucket or
attachments.
• Never use the bucket as a hammer to drive poles or
studs into the ground.
• Never dig too deeply with the bucket, which can
damage the bucket or the lift arms.
• Avoid hitting the bucket against rocks or similar
solid material, which will damage the bucket or the
bucket cylinder.
• Never fully extend cylinders to perform an
operation. Working
extended can cause damage from excessive force.
• Never scoop or grade areas while the tilt cylinders
are fully extended.
Extremely heavy loads apply excessive traction
force to the bucket cylinders and can cause
damage. Avoid loads that are too heavy.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON MACHINE OPERATION

1. Caution while traveling

• Running over large debris as rocks, stumps, blocks,
and so on may cause such debris to fly up and
damage the machine. Avoid debris whenever
possible.
• If obstacles cannot be avoided, travel slowly over
them with the bucket in the lowered position.
Approach the obstacles so that it is at the center of
the tires.
2. Precaution when traveling in high
speed
• Whenever traveling over uneven ground surfaces,
travel at low speed. Avoid any sudden movements
with the machine such as accelerating, stopping, or
turning quickly.
3. Precautions for use of machine
near water
• Whenever working near water, pay particular
attention not to submerge any part of the machine.
Always take care to keep working machine parts
out of water, especially when coming out of a
shoreline, for example, at a sharp angle.
• Permissible water depth
Never allow the machine to become submerged in
water above the bottom of the body.
• If parts that require lubrication are exposed to water
for long periods of time, make sure that they are re-
lubricated with grease to remove old grease.
• After working in the mud and in the water, make
sure that there is no invasion of the soil inside the
frame. If soil is deposited, clean the internal frame.
(See Cleaning inside of the main frame on page
94)
• Never allow the main body of the machine to
become submerged in water or sand. Contact your
KUBOTA Dealer or Service Outlet if the main body
of the machine is exposed to water.
