SAFE OPERATION

Careful operation is your best insurance against an accident.

Read and understand this manual carefully before operating the tractor.

All operators, no matter how much experience they may have, should read this and other related manuals before operating the tractor or any implement attached to it. It is the owner's obligation to instruct all operators in safe operation.

1. BEFORE OPERATING THE TRACTOR

1. Know your equipment and its limitations. Read this entire manual before attempting to start and operate the tractor.

2. Pay special attention to the danger, warning and caution labels on the tractor.

3. KUBOTA recommends the use of a CAB or Roll Over Protective Structures (ROPS) and seat belt in almost all applications. This combination will reduce the risk of serious injury or death, should the tractor be upset. If the tractor is equipped with a foldable ROPS it may be temporarily folded down only when absolutely necessary for areas with height constraints. (There is no operator protection provided by the ROPS in the folded position. For operator safety the ROPS should be placed in the upright and locked position and the seat belt fastened for all other operations.) If the CAB or ROPS is loosened or removed for any reason, make sure that all parts are reinstalled correctly before operating the tractor. Never modify or repair a ROPS because welding, bending, drilling, grinding, or cutting may weaken the structure. A damaged CAB or ROPS structure must be replaced, not repaired or revised. If any structural member of the CAB or ROPS is damaged, replace the entire structure at your local KUBOTA Dealer.

-1SAFE OPERATION

(1) ROPS (2) Seat belt

4. Always use the seat belt if the tractor has a CAB or ROPS. Do not use the seat belt if a foldable ROPS is down or there is no ROPS. Check the seat belt regularly and replace if frayed or damaged.

5. Do not operate the tractor or any implement attached to it while under the influence of alcohol, medication, controlled substances or while fatigued.

6. Carefully check the vicinity before operating tractor or any implement attached to it. Check for overhead clearance which may interfere with a CAB or ROPS. Do not allow any bystanders around or near tractor during operation.

7. Before allowing other people to use your tractor, explain how to operate and have them read this manual before operation.

8. Never wear loose, torn, or bulky clothing around tractor. It may catch on moving parts or controls, leading to the risk of an accident. Use additional safety items, e.g. hard hat, safety boots or shoes, eye and hearing protection, gloves, etc., as appropriate or required.

9. Do not allow passengers to ride on any part of the tractor at anytime. The operator must remain in the tractor seat during operation.

10.Check brakes, clutch, linkage pins and other mechanical parts for improper adjustment and wear. Replace worn or damaged parts promptly. Check the tightness of all nuts and bolts regularly. (For further details, see "MAINTENANCE" section.)

11.Keep your tractor clean. Dirt, grease, and trash build up may contribute to fires and lead to personal injury.

12.Use only implements meeting the specifications listed under "IMPLEMENT LIMITATIONS" in this manual or implements approved by KUBOTA.

SAFE OPERATION-2

13.Use proper weights on the front or rear of the tractor to reduce the risk of upsets. When using the front loader, put an implement or ballast on the 3-point hitch to improve stability. Follow the safe operating procedures specified in the implement or attachment manual.

14. The narrower the tread, the greater the risk of a tractor upset. For maximum stability, adjust the wheels to the widest practical tread width for your application. (See "TIRES, WHEELS AND BALLAST" section.)

(1) Rear wheels (A) Tread Width

3. Do not start engine by shorting across starter terminals or bypassing the safety start switch. Machine may start in gear and move if normal starting circuitry is bypassed.

4. Do not operate or idle engine in a non-ventilated area. Carbon monoxide gas is colorless, odorless, and deadly.

5. Check before each use that operator presence controls are functioning correctly. Test safety systems. (See "Checking Engine Start System" in "EVERY 50 HOURS" in "PERIODIC SERVICE" section.) Do not operate unless they are functioning correctly.

C Working

1. Pull only from the drawbar. Never hitch to axle housing or any other point except drawbar; such arrangements will increase the risk of serious personal injury or death due to a tractor upset.

15.Do not modify the tractor. Unauthorized modification may affect the function of the tractor, which may result in personal injury.

2. OPERATING THE TRACTOR

Operator safety is a priority. Safe operation, specifically with respect to overturning hazards, entails understanding the equipment and environmental conditions at the time of use. Some prohibited uses which can affect overturning hazards include traveling and turning with implements and loads carried too high etc. This manual sets forth some of the obvious risks, but the list is not, and cannot be, exhaustive. It is the operator's responsibility to be alert for any equipment or environmental condition that could compromise safe operation.

C Starting

1. Always sit in the operator's seat when starting engine or operating levers or controls. Adjust seat per instructions in the operating the tractor section. Never start engine while standing on the ground.

2. Before starting the engine, make sure that all levers (including auxiliary control levers) are in their neutral positions, that the parking brake is engaged, and that both the clutch and the Power Take-Off (PTO) are disengaged or "OFF". Fasten the seat belt if the tractor has a CAB, a fixed ROPS or a foldable ROPS in the upright and locked position.

(1) Drawbar

2. Keep all shields and guards in place. Replace any that are missing or damaged.

3. Avoid sudden starts. To avoid upsets, slow down when turning, on uneven ground, and before stopping.

4. The tractor cannot turn with the differential locked and attempting to do so could be dangerous.

5. Do not operate near ditches, holes, embankments, or other ground surface features which may collapse under the tractor's weight. The risk of tractor upset is even higher when the ground is loose or wet. Tall grass can hide obstacles, walk the area first to be sure.

6. Watch where you are going at all times. Watch for and avoid obstacles. Be alert at row ends, near trees, and other obstructions.

7. When working in groups, always let the others know what you are going to do before you do it.

8. Never try to get on or off a moving tractor.

9. Do not stand between tractor and implement or trailed vehicle unless parking brake is applied.

-3SAFE OPERATION

C Safety for children

Tragedy can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children generally are attracted to machines and the work they do.

1. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.

2. Keep children out of the work area and under the watchful eye of another responsible adult.

3. Be alert and shut your machine down if children enter the work area.

4. Never carry children on your machine. There is no safe place for them to ride. They may fall off and be run over or interfere with your control of the machine.

5. Never allow children to operate the machine even under adult supervision.

6. Never allow children to play on the machine or on the implement.

7. Use extra caution when backing up. Look behind and down to make sure area is clear before moving.

8. When parking your machine if at all possible park on a firm, flat and level surface; if not, park across a slope. Set the parking brake(s), lower the implements to the ground, remove the key from the ignition and lock the cab door (if equipped) and chock the wheels.

C Operating on slopes

Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and tipover accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. All slopes require extra caution.

1. To avoid upsets, always back up steep slopes. If you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not operate on it. Stay off slopes too steep for safe operation.

2. Driving forward out of a ditch, mired condition or up a steep slope increases the risk of a tractor to be upset backward. Always back out of these situations. Extra caution is required with four-wheel drive models because their increased traction can give the operator false confidence in the tractor's ability to climb slopes.

3. Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed, direction or apply brake and make sudden motions of the steering wheel.

4. Avoid disengaging the clutch or changing gears speed when climbing or going down a slope. If on a slope disengaging the clutch or changing gears to neutral could cause loss of control.

5. Special attention should be made to the weight and location of implements and loads as such will affect the stability of the tractor.

6. To improve stability on slope, set widest wheel tread as shown in "TIRES, WHEELS AND BALLAST" section. Follow recommendations for proper ballasting.

C Driving the tractor on the road

1. Lock the two brake pedals together to help assure straight-line stops. Uneven braking at road speeds could cause the tractor to tip over.

(1) Brake Pedal (LH) (2) Brake Pedal (RH) (3) Brake Pedal Lock

(A) Whenever travelling on the road

2. Check the front wheel engagement. The braking characteristics are different between two and four wheel drive. Be aware of the difference and use carefully.

3. Always slow the tractor down before turning. Turning at high speed may tip the tractor over.

4. Make sure that the Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) sign is clean and visible. Use hazard lights and turn signals as required.

(1) SMV emblem (2) Bracket

5. Observe all local traffic and safety regulations.

6. Turn the headlights on.

7. Drive at speeds that allow you to maintain control at all times.

8. Do not apply the differential lock while traveling at road speeds. The tractor may run out of control.

9. Avoid sudden motions of the steering wheel as they can lead to a dangerous loss of stability. The risk is especially great when the tractor is traveling at road speeds.

SAFE OPERATION-4

10.Do not operate an implement while the tractor is on the road. Lock the 3-point hitch in the raised position.

11.When towing other equipment, use a safety chain and place an SMV emblem on it as well.

(1) Safety chain

4. OPERATING THE PTO

1. Wait until all moving components have completely stopped before getting off the tractor, connecting, disconnecting, adjusting, cleaning, or servicing any PTO driven equipment.

2. Keep the PTO shaft cover in place at all times. Replace the PTO shaft cap when the shaft is not in use.

3. PARKING THE TRACTOR

1. Disengage the PTO, lower all implements to the ground, place all control levers in their neutral positions, set the parking brake, stop the engine, and remove the key.

2. Make sure that the tractor has come to a complete stop before dismounting.

3. Avoid parking on steep slopes, if at all possible park on a firm and level surface; if not, park across a slope with chock the wheels. Failure to comply with this warning may allow the tractor to move and could cause injury or death.

(1) PTO Shaft cover (2) PTO Shaft cap

3. Before installing or using PTO driven equipment, read the manufacturer's manual and review the safety labels attached to the equipment.

4. When operating stationary PTO driven equipment, always apply the tractor parking brake and place chocks behind and in front of the rear wheels. Stay clear of all rotating parts. Never step over rotating parts.

(A) "NORMAL POSITION" (B) "RAISED POSITION"

5. USING 3-POINT HITCH

1. Use the 3-point hitch only with equipment designed for 3-point hitch usage.

2. When using a 3-point hitch mounted implement, be sure to install the proper counterbalance weight on the front of the tractor.

3. When transporting on the road, set the implement lowering speed knob in the "LOCK" position to hold the implement in the raised position.

-5SAFE OPERATION

7. Disconnect the battery's ground cable before working on or near electric components.

8. To avoid the possibility of battery explosion, do not use or charge the refillable type battery if the fluid level is below the LOWER ( lower limit level ) mark. Check the fluid level regularly and add distilled water as required so that the fluid level is between the UPPER and LOWER levels.

9. To avoid sparks from an accidental short circuit, always disconnect the battery's ground cable (-) first and reconnect it last.

(1) 3-point hitch lowering speed knob (A) "FAST"

(B) "SLOW" (C) "LOCK"

6. SERVICING THE TRACTOR

Before servicing the tractor, park it on a firm, flat and level surface, set the parking brake, lower all implements to the ground, place the gear shift lever in neutral, stop the engine and remove the key.

1. Allow the tractor time to cool off before working on or near the engine, muffler, radiator, etc.

2. Do not remove radiator cap while coolant is hot. When cool, slowly rotate cap to the first stop and allow sufficient time for excess pressure to escape before removing the cap completely. If the tractor has a coolant recovery tank, add coolant or water to the tank, not the radiator. (See "Checking Coolant Level" in "DAILY CHECK" in "PERIODIC SERVICE" section.)

3. Always stop the engine before refueling. Avoid spills and overfilling.

4. Do not smoke when working around battery or when refueling. Keep all sparks and flames away from battery and fuel tank. The battery presents an explosive hazard, because it gives off hydrogen and oxygen especially when recharging.

5. Before "jump starting" a dead battery, read and follow all of the instructions. (See "JUMP STARTING" in "OPERATING THE ENGINE" section.)

6. Keep first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy at all times.

(1) Battery

10.Do not attempt to mount a tire on a rim. This should be done by a qualified person with the proper equipment.

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.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.

SAFE OPERATION-6

15.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.

16.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.

8. CARE OF DANGER, WARNING AND CAUTION LABELS

1. Keep danger, warning and caution labels clean and free from obstructing material.

2. Clean danger, warning and caution labels with soap and water, dry with a soft cloth.

3. Replace damaged or missing danger, warning and caution labels with new labels from your local KUBOTA Dealer.

4. If a component with danger, warning and caution label(s) affixed is replaced with new part, make sure new label(s) is (are) attached in the same location(s) as the replaced component.

5. Mount new danger, warning and caution labels by applying on a clean dry surface and pressing any bubbles to outside edge.

SERVICING OF TRACTOR

Your dealer is interested in your new tractor and has the desire to help you get the most value from it. After reading this manual thoroughly, you will find that you can do some of the regular maintenance yourself. However, when in need of parts or major service, be sure to see your KUBOTA Dealer. For service, contact the KUBOTA Dealership from which you purchased your tractor or your local KUBOTA Dealer. When in need of parts, be prepared to give your dealer both the tractor and engine serial numbers. Locate the serial numbers now and record them in the space provided.

WARMING UP

To avoid personal injury: A Be sure to set the parking brake during warm-

up.

A Be sure to set all shift levers to the "NEUTRAL"

positions and to place PTO lever in "OFF" position during warm-up.

For five minutes after engine start-up, allow engine to warm up without applying any load, this is to allow oil to reach every engine part. If load should be applied to the engine without this warm-up period, trouble such as seizure, breakage or premature wear may develop.

BWarm-up Transmission Oil at Low

Ambient Temperatures

Hydraulic oil serves as transmission fluid. In cold weather, the oil may be cold with increased viscosity. This can cause delayed oil circulation or abnormally low hydraulic pressure for some time after engine start-up. This in turn can result in trouble in the hydraulic system. To prevent the above, observe the following instructions: Warm up the engine at about 50 % of rated rpm according to the table below:

Ambient temperature Warm-up time requirement

Above 0 C (32 F) At least 5 minutes

0 to -10 C (32 to 14 F) 5 to 10 minutes

BBlock Heater (Option)

A block heater is available as an option from your dealer. It will assist you in starting your tractor when the ambient temperature is below -15 (5 )

10. Check to see that all the lamps on the Easy Checker(TM) are "OFF".

If a lamp is still on, immediately stop the engine and determine the cause.

11. Release the clutch pedal

-10 to -20 C (14 to -4 F) 10 to 15 minutes

Below -20 C (-4 F) More than 15 minutes

A Do not operate the tractor under full load condition until

it is sufficiently warmed up.

OPERATING THE TRACTOR

17OPERATING THE TRACTOR

OPERATING NEW TRACTOR

How a new tractor is handled and maintained determines the life of the tractor. A new tractor just off the factory production line has been, of course, tested, but the various parts are not accustomed to each other, so care should be taken to operate the tractor for the first 50 hours at a slower speed and avoid excessive work or operation until the various parts become "broken-in." The manner in which the tractor is handled during the "breaking-in." period greatly affects the life of your tractor. Therefore, to obtain the maximum performance and the longest life of the tractor, it is very important to properly break-in your tractor. In handling a new tractor, the following precautions should be observed.

BDo not Operate the Tractor at Full Speed

for the First 50 Hours

A Do not start quickly nor apply the brakes suddenly. A In winter, operate the tractor after fully warming up the

engine.

A Do not run the engine at speeds faster than

necessary.

A On rough roads, slow down to suitable speeds.

Do not operate the tractor at fast speed.

The above precautions are not limited only to new tractors, but to all tractors. But it should be especially observed in the case of new tractors.

OPERATING FOLDABLE ROPS

[Except B2320DTN, B2320HSDN]

To avoid personal injury: A When raising or folding the ROPS, apply

parking brake, stop the engine and remove the key. Always perform function from a stable position at the rear of tractor.

A Fold the ROPS down only when absolutely

necessary and fold it up and lock it again as soon as possible.

A Before proceeding to fold ROPS, check for any

possible interference with installed implements and attachments. If interference occurs, contact your KUBOTA Dealer.

BTo Fold the ROPS

1. Remove both set pins.

BChanging Lubricating Oil for New Tractors

The lubricating oil is especially important in the case of a new tractor. The various parts are not "broken-in" and are not accustomed to each other; small metal grit may develop during the operation of the tractor; and this may wear out or damage the parts. Therefore, care should be taken to change the lubricating oil a little earlier than would ordinarily be required. For further details of change interval hours, see "MAINTENANCE" section.

A If the differential lock cannot be released in the above

manner, step lightly on the brake pedals alternately.

BOperating the Tractor on a Road

To avoid personal injury: A To help assure straight line stops when driving

at transport speeds, lock the brake pedals together. Uneven braking at road speeds could cause the tractor to roll-over.

A When traveling on road with 3-point hitch

mounted implement attached, be sure to have sufficient front weight on the tractor to maintain steering ability.

A Towed equipment (without brake) must not

exceed 1.5 times the tractor weight when traveling on roads or at high speeds.

Be sure SMV emblem and hazard light are clean and visible. If towed or rear-mounted equipment obstructs these safety devices, install SMV emblem and hazard light on equipment. Consult your local KUBOTA dealer for further detail.

BOperating on Slopes or Rough Terrain

To avoid personal injury: A Always back up when going up a steep slope.

Driving forward could cause the tractor to tip over backward. Stay off hills and slopes too steep for safe operation.

A Avoid changing gears when climbing or

descending a slope.

A If operating on a slope, never disengage the

clutch or shift levers to neutral. Doing so could cause loss of control.

A Do not drive the tractor close to the edges of

ditches or banks which may collapse under the weight of the tractor. Especially when the ground is loose or wet.

1. Be sure wheel tread is adjusted to provide proper stability. (See "WHEEL ADJUSTMENT" in "TIRES, WHEELS AMD BALLAST" section.)

2. Slow down for slopes, rough ground, or sharp turns, especially when transporting heavy, rear mounted equipment.

3. Before descending a slope, shift to a gear low enough to control speed without using brakes.

BDirections for Use of Power Steering

1. Power steering is activated only while the engine is running. While the engine is stopped, the tractor functions in the same manner as tractors without power steering.

2. When the steering wheel is turned all the way to the stop, the relief valve is activated. Do not hold the steering wheel in this position for a long period of time.

3. Avoid turning the steering wheel while the tractor is stopped, or tires may wear out sooner.

4. The power steering mechanism makes the steering easier. Be careful when driving on a road at high speeds.

To avoid the possibility of battery explosion: For the refillable type battery, follow the instructions below. A Do not use or charge the refillable type battery

if the fluid level is below the LOWER (lower limit level) mark. Otherwise, the battery component parts may prematurely deteriorate, which may shorten the battery's service life or cause an explosion. Check the fluid level regularly and add distilled water as required so that the fluid level is between the UPPER and LOWER levels.

To avoid personal injury: A Never remove the vent caps while the engine is

running.

A Keep electrolyte away from eyes, hands and

clothes. If you are spattered with it, wash it away completely with water immediately and get medical attention.

A Wear eye protection and rubber gloves when

working around the battery.

C How to read the indicator

Check the battery condition by reading the indicator.

State of indicator display

Green

Black Needs charging battery.

White Needs replacing battery.

C Battery Charging

Specific gravity of electrolyte and quality of electrolyte are both in good condition.

The factory-installed battery is of non-refillable type. If the indicator turns white, do not charge the battery but replace it with new one.

Mishandling the battery shortens the service life and adds to maintenance costs. The original battery is maintenance free, but needs some servicing. If the battery is weak, the engine will be difficult to start and the lights will be dim. It is important to check the battery periodically.

To avoid personal injury: A When the battery is being activated, hydrogen

and oxygen gases in the battery are extremely explosive. Keep open sparks and flames away from the battery at all times, especially when charging the battery.

A When charging the battery, ensure the vent

caps are securely in place. (if equipped)

A When disconnecting the cable from the battery,

start with the negative terminal first. When connecting the cable to the battery, start with the positive terminal first.

A Never check battery charge by placing a metal

object across the posts. Use a voltmeter or hydrometer.

(1) Battery

1. To slow charge the battery, connect the battery positive terminal to the charger positive terminal and the negative to the negative, then recharge in the standard fashion.

2. A boost charge is only for emergencies. It will partially charge the battery at a high rate and in a short time. When using a boost-charged battery, it is necessary to recharge the battery as early as possible. Failure to do this will shorten the battery's service life.

3. The battery is charged if the indicator display turns green from black.

4. When exchanging an old battery for a new one, use battery of equal specification shown in table 1.

BAnti-Freeze

To avoid personal injury: A When using antifreeze, put on some protection

such as rubber gloves (Antifreeze contains poison.).

A If it is swallowed, seek immediate medical help.

Do NOT make a person throw up unless told to do so by poison control or a health care professional. Use standard first aid and CPR for signs of shock or cardiac arrest. Call your local Poison Control Center or your local emergency number for further assistance.

A When antifreeze comes in contact with the skin

or clothing, wash it off immediately.

A Do not mix different types of Antifreeze.

The mixture can produce chemical reaction causing harmful substances.

A Antifreeze is extremely flammable and

explosive under certain conditions. Keep fire and children away from antifreeze.

A When draining fluids from the engine, place

some container underneath the engine body.

A Do not pour waste onto the grounds, down a

drain, or into any water source.

A Also, observe the relevant environmental

protection regulations when disposing of antifreeze.

A Do not start engine without coolant. A Use clean, fresh soft water and anti-freeze to fill the

radiator and recovery tank.

A When mixing the anti-freeze with water, the anti-freeze

mixing ratio is 50 %.

(A) "FULL" (B) "LOW"

Always use a 50/50 mix of long-life coolant and clean soft water in KUBOTA engines. Consult your local KUBOTA Dealer concerning coolant for extreme conditions.

1. Long-life coolant (hereafter LLC) comes in several types. Use ethylene glycol (EG) type for this engine.

2. Before employing LLC-mixed cooling water, fill the radiator with fresh water and empty it again. Repeat this procedure 2 or 3 times to clean up the inside.

3. Mixing the LLC Premix 50% LLC with 50% clean soft water. When mixing, stir it up well, and then fill into the radiator.

4. The procedure for the mixing of water and antifreeze differs according to the make of the antifreeze and the ambient temperature. Refer to SAE J1034 standard, more specifically also to SAE J814c.

Freezing Point Boiling Point*

69PERIODIC SERVICE

D At 1.013 x 10 Pa (760mmHg) pressure (atmospheric).

A higher boiling point is obtained by using a radiator pressure cap which permits the development of pressure within the cooling system.

5. Adding the LLC (1) Add only water if the mixture reduces in amount

by evaporation.

(2) If there is a mixture leak, add the LLC of the same

manufacturer and type in the same mixture percentage. D Never add any long-life coolant of different

manufacturer. (Different brands may have different additive components, and the engine may fail to perform as specified.)

6. When the LLC is mixed, do not employ any radiator cleaning agent. The LLC contains anticorrosive agent. If mixed with the cleaning agent, sludge may build up, adversely affecting the engine parts.

7. Kubota's genuine long-life coolant has a service life of 2 years. Be sure to change the coolant every 2 years.

A The above data represent industry standards that

necessitate a minimum glycol content in the concentrated antifreeze.
