6 SAFE OPERATION
-
11. Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not
inflate tires above the recommended pressure shown
in the operator's manual.
12. Securely support the tractor when either changing
wheels or adjusting the wheel tread width.
13. Make sure that wheel bolts have been tightened to the
specified torque.
14. Disconnect the battery's ground cable and stop the
engine to avoid the possibility of the machine runaway
due to 4WD braking system during testing, service or
repair with only rear wheels off the ground.
15. Do not work under any hydraulically supported
devices. They can settle, suddenly leak down, or be
accidentally lowered. If it is necessary to work under
tractor or any machine elements for servicing or
adjustment, securely support them with stands or
suitable blocking beforehand.
16. Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure has sufficient
force to penetrate skin, causing serious personal
injury. Before disconnecting hydraulic lines, be sure to
release all residual pressure. Before applying
pressure to the hydraulic system, make sure that all
connections are tight and that all lines, pipes, and
hoses are free of damage.
17. Fluid escaping from pinholes may be invisible. Do not
use hands to search for suspected leaks; use a piece
of cardboard or wood. Use of safety goggles or other
eye protection is also highly recommended. If injured
by escaping fluid, see a medical doctor at once. This
fluid will produce gangrene or severe allergic reaction.

(3) Magnifying glass
18. Do not open high-pressure fuel system.
High-pressure fluid remaining in fuel lines can cause
serious injury. Do not disconnect nor attempt to repair
fuel lines, sensors, or any other components between
the high-pressure fuel pump and injectors on engines
with high pressure common rail fuel system.
19. To avoid hazardous high voltage, turn the key switch
to the OFF position if it is necessary to check to repair
the computer, harness or connectors.
20. During Diesel Particulate Filter (hereinafter called
DPF) regenerating operations, exhaust gases and
exhaust filter components reach temperatures hot
enough to burn people, or ignite or melt common
materials.
21. Keep tractor away from people, animals or structures
which may be susceptible to harm or damage from hot
exhaust gases.
22. To prevent fires, keep the DPF muffler and its
surroundings clear of anything flammable and keep
clean at all times.
23. During regeneration, white exhaust gas may be
visible. Do not allow regeneration in a non-ventilated
space.
24. During regeneration, do not leave the tractor.
25. Before servicing a tractor equipped with the front
suspension, be sure to lower the machine to the lowest
position.
26. The front suspension hydraulic circuit is still under high
pressure after the engine has stopped. Do not
disconnect the pipes and/or hoses because you may
get injured by high-pressure oil. If pipes and/or hoses
are found worn or damaged, consult your local
KUBOTA Dealer for this service.
