Cargo Bed Tailgate; Raising And Lowering The Cargo Bed - Kubota RTV-X900 Operator's Manual

BCargo Bed Tailgate
To avoid serious injury:
A Do not apply a load to the tailgate while the
tailgate is open, as the wire loop may break,
resulting in injury or loss of load.
A Do not place fingers or hands between the
tailgate and the arm (latch) when closing, or
fingers or hands may be pinched.
For loading and unloading, the tailgate of the cargo bed
can be opened.
The tailgate is held level to the cargo bed floor with wire
loops.
Do not move the vehicle with the tailgate fully lowered.
1. Raise the arms (latch) at each end of the tailgate and
open the tailgate.
2. Close the tailgate by lifting it and pushing it firmly
closed. Push the arms (latch) down to make sure the
latches stay securely closed.

BRaising and Lowering the Cargo Bed
[if hydraulic dump is equipped]
To avoid serious injury:
A Make sure the vehicle is on a firm, level surface
and the parking brake is applied before raising
the cargo bed.
A If the vehicle is facing uphill with cargo bed
raised, the weight of the cargo bed may cause
the vehicle tip.
A When servicing under raised bed with lift
cylinder, make sure safety support is properly
mounted.
A Do not operate the hydraulic lift cylinder lever
(or hydraulic outlet lever) when driving.
Otherwise loss of control or failure of the
power steering could occur.
C To raise the cargo bed
1. Start engine.
2. Release the restricting plate.
3. Pull up the hydraulic lift cylinder lever to raise the
cargo bed.
4. Return the hydraulic lift cylinder lever to the
"NEUTRAL" position immediately after raising the
cargo bed.
5. Mount the safety support.
C To mount the safety support
1. Push the safety support and take off it from the hook.
2. Turn the safety support to set.
C To lower the cargo bed
1. Remove the safety support.
2. Shift the hydraulic lift cylinder lever to the "DOWN"
position and then lower the cargo bed.
3. After making sure that the bed has been lowered to the
lowest position, return the lever to the "NEUTRAL"
position and then lock the lever with the restricting
plate.
A Do not hold the lever in the "UP" or "DOWN" position
once the remote cylinder has reached the end of its
stroke, as this will cause oil to flow through the relief
valve. Forcing oil through the relief valve for extended
periods will overheat the oil.
A Continuing to use the lever may cause oil temperature
to rise excessively. The use of oil at a high
temperature causes the seals to become damaged
and fail.
