SAFE OPERATION

SAFE OPERATION

BX1880, BX2380, BX2680

5

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.

PRECAUTIONS BEFORE
OPERATING THE TRACTOR

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

1. General precautions

• Pay special attention to the safety labels on the
tractor.

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

• Carefully check the vicinity of the tractor before
operating it or any implement attached to it. Do not
allow any bystander around or near the tractor
during operating it.

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

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

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

• 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 SERVICE INTERVALS on

page 69.

• Keep your tractor clean. Buildups of dirt, grease,
and trash may contribute to fires and lead to
personal injury.

• Use only implements meeting the specifications
listed under IMPLEMENT LIMITATION TABLES on

page 22, FRONT LOADER on page 26, and
WEIGHT OF THE IMPLEMENTS AS THE REAR
BALLAST on page 26, or implements approved by

KUBOTA.

• 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 3­point hitch to improve stability. Follow the safe
operating procedures specified in the implement or
attachment manual.

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

2. Precautions for CAB and ROPS

KUBOTA recommends the use of a CAB or roll-over­protective-structures (ROPS), and seat belt in almost
all applications. Combination of a CAB or ROPS and
seat belt will reduce the risk of serious injury or death if
the tractor should be upset.

• Check for overhead clearance which may interfere
with a CAB or ROPS.

• Set parking brake and stop engine. Remove any
obstructions that may prevent raising or folding the
ROPS. Do not allow any bystander. Always perform
functions of CAB or ROPS from a stable position at
the rear of the tractor. Hold the top of the ROPS
securely when raising or folding it. Make sure that
all pins are installed and locked.

• 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 any structural member of a
CAB or ROPS because welding, bending, drilling,
grinding, or cutting it may weaken the structure.

• If any structural member of the CAB or ROPS is
damaged, replace the entire structure at your local
KUBOTA Dealer.

• If the tractor is equipped with a foldable ROPS, you
may fold down it temporarily only when absolutely
necessary to fold down it for areas with constraints
on height.
There is no protection of operator provided by the
ROPS in the folded position. For operator safety,
you should place the ROPS in the upright and
locked position and fasten the seat belt for all other
operations.

• Always use the seat belt if the tractor is equipped
with 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.

PRECAUTIONS FOR
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,
and so on.
This manual sets forth some of the obvious risks, but
the list of risks is not exhaustive, and the list of risks
cannot be exhaustive. It is the operator's responsibility
to be alert for any equipment or environmental
condition that could compromise safe operation.

1. Precautions for starting to operate
the tractor

• Always sit in the operator's seat when starting the
engine or operating levers or controls. Adjust seat
per 1. Operator's seat on page 31. Never start the
engine while you are standing on the ground.

• 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 the power take-off (PTO) is disengaged or off.
Fasten the seat belt if the tractor is equipped with a
CAB, a fixed ROPS, or a foldable ROPS in the
upright and locked position.

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

• Do not operate or idle the engine in a non­ventilated area. Carbon monoxide gas is colorless,
odorless, and deadly.

• Check that the operator-presence-control-system
(OPC) are functioning correctly before each time

you use the tractor. Test safety systems. See

2. Checking the engine start system on page 80

and 3. Checking the OPC (operator presence

control) system on page 80.

Do not operate unless they are functioning
correctly.

2. Precautions for working the
tractor

• Pull only from the hitch. Never hitch to axle housing
or any other point except hitch. Hitching to axle
housing or any other point except hitch will increase
the risk of serious personal injury or death due to a
tractor upset.

(1) Hitch

• Keep all shields and guards in place. Replace any
shield or guard that are missing or damaged.

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

• The tractor cannot turn with the differential locked.
Do not attempt to turn with the differential locked as
it could be dangerous.

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

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

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

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

• Always sit in the operator's seat when you are
operating levers or controls.

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

• Do not operate or tow at speeds exceeding specific
travel speed.

3. Safety for children

SAFE OPERATION

BX1880, BX2380, BX2680

7

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

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

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

• Be alert and shut the tractor down if children enter
the work area.

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

• Never allow children to operate the tractor even
under adult supervision.

• Never allow children to play on the tractor or on the
implement.

• Use extra caution when the tractor is backing up.
Before the tractor starts to move, look down and
behind to make sure area is clear.

4. Precautions for operating the
tractor on slopes

5. Precautions for driving the tractor
on the road

• Check the front wheel engagement. The braking
characteristics are different between 2-wheel drive
and 4-wheel drive. Know the difference and use
carefully.

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

• Make sure that the slow-moving-vehicle (SMV) sign
is clean and visible. Use hazard lights and turn
signals as required.

• On public roads, use the SMV emblem and hazard
lights, if required by local traffic and safety
regulations.

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

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

• Driving forward out of a ditch, mired condition or up
a steep slope increases the risk of the tractor to be
upset backward. Always back the tractor out of a
ditch, mired condition or steep slope. The 4-wheel
drive models require extra caution because their
increased traction can give the operator false
confidence in the ability of the tractor to climb
slopes.

• Keep all movement of the tractor on slopes slow
and gradual. Do not change speed or direction of
the tractor suddenly. Do not apply brake suddenly.
Do not move the steering wheel suddenly.

• Avoid changing gears speed when the tractor is
climbing or going down a slope. Changing gears to
neutral on a slope could cause loss of control.

• You should pay special attention to the weight and
location of implements and loads because they will
affect the stability of the tractor.

• To improve stability of the tractor on slope, follow
recommendations for proper ballasting as shown in

BALLAST on page 67

• When driving down a slope, make sure that 4-wheel
drive is engaged to increase traction if equipped.

(1) SMV emblem (2) Bracket

• Check all local traffic and safety regulations.

• Turn the headlights on. Dim the headlights when

meeting another vehicle.

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

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

• 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.

• Keep the ROPS in the up position and wear the
seat belt when driving the tractor on the road.
Otherwise, you will not be protected in the event of
a tractor roll-over.

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

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

(2) Parking brake pedal
(A) Depress

• Make sure that the tractor has come to a complete
stop before dismounting from it.

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

(B) Push down parking brake

PRECAUTIONS FOR
OPERATING THE PTO

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

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

• Disengage the PTO, lower all implements to the

ground, place all control levers in their neutral
positions, set the parking brake, stop the engine,
remove the key from the ignition, and lock the cab
door if equipped. Leaving transmission in gear with
the engine stopped will not prevent tractor from
rolling.

(1) PTO shaft cover
(2) PTO shaft cap

clear of all rotating parts. Never step over rotating
parts.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USING 3­POINT HITCH

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

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

• When transporting loads on the road, set the
implement-lowering-speed-knob in the lock position
to hold the implement in the raised position.

implements to the ground, place the gear shift lever in
neutral, stop the engine, and remove the key.

• Allow the tractor time to cool off before working on
or near the engine, muffler, radiator, and so on.

• Do not remove radiator cap while coolant is hot.
When coolant is 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. Do not add coolant to the
radiator. See 5. Checking the coolant level on page

77.

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

• Do not smoke when working around battery or
when the tractor is 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 you are
recharging it.

• Before jump starting a dead battery, read and follow
all of the instructions. See JUMP STARTING THE

ENGINE on page 40.

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

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

• 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.

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

level surface, set the parking brake, lower all

(1) Battery

• Do not attempt to mount a tire on a rim. A qualified
person should mount a tire on a rim with the proper
equipment.

• Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not
inflate tires above the recommended pressure
shown in 1. Inflation pressure of tires on page 64.

• Securely support the tractor when either changing

wheels or adjusting the wheel tread width.

• Make sure that wheel bolts have been tightened to
the specified torque. See WHEEL TREAD on page

64.

• 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 the tractor or any machine elements for
servicing or adjustment, securely support them with
stands or suitable blocking beforehand.

• Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure has
sufficient force to penetrate skin, so escaping
hydraulic fluid under pressure can cause 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.

(1) Cardboard
(2) Hydraulic line

• Waste products such as used oil, fuel, hydraulic
fluid, and batteries, can harm the environment,
people, pets, and wildlife. Please dispose properly.
See your local recycling center or KUBOTA Dealer
to learn how to recycle or get rid of waste products.

(3) Magnifying glass

• Fluid escaping from pinholes may be invisible. Do
not use hands to search for suspected leaks. Use a
piece of cardboard or wood to search for suspected
leaks. You should use safety goggles or other eye
protection. If injured by escaping fluid, see a
medical doctor at once. This fluid will produce
gangrene or severe allergic reaction.
