SAFE OPERATION

-1SAFE OPERATION

TRACTOR

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

4. Carefully check the vicinity before operating tractor or any implement attached to it. Do not allow any bystanders around or near tractor during operation.

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

6. 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.

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

8. 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.)

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

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

11.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.

12. 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

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

C CAB, ROPS

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

2. If the CAB or ROPS is loosened or removed for any reason, make sure that all parts are reinstalled correctly before operating the tractor.

3. Never modify or repair any structural member of a CAB or ROPS because welding, bending, drilling, grinding, or cutting may weaken the structure.

4. A damaged CAB or ROPS structure must be replaced, not repaired or revised.

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

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

SAFE OPERATION-2

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.

(1) ROPS (2) Seat belt

2. OPERATING THE TRACTOR (1) Drawbar (option)

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. 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.

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.

2. For trailing PTO-driven implements, set the drawbar to the towing position.

3. Attach pulled or towed loads to the drawbar only.

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

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

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

7. 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.

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

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

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

11.Always sit in the operator's seat when operating levers or controls.

12.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.

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 4-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 changing gears speed when climbing or going down a slope. If on a slope 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 2 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 2 and 4-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. On public roads use the SMV emblem and hazard lights, if required by local traffic and safety regulations.

6. Observe all local traffic and safety regulations.

7. Turn the headlights on. Dim them when meeting another vehicle.

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

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

SAFE OPERATION-4

10.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.

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

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

(1) Safety chain

13.Set the implement lowering speed knob in the "LOCK" position to hold the implement in the raised position.

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 from the ignition and lock the cab door (if equipped). Leaving transmission in gear with the engine stopped will not prevent tractor from rolling.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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 tractor.

3. To avoid injury from separation (M62 only): Do not extend lift rod beyond the groove on the threaded rod.

-5SAFE OPERATION

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) Groove

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.

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

(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.

19.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.

20.Keep the tractor away from people, animals or structures which may be susceptible to harm or damage from hot exhaust gases.

21.To prevent fires, keep the DPF muffler and its surroundings clear of anything flammable and keep clean at all times.

22.During regeneration, white exhaust gas may be visible. Do not allow regeneration in a non-ventilated space.

23.During regeneration, do not leave the tractor.

(1) Cardboard (2) Hydraulic line (3) Magnifying glass

17.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.

18.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.

LOADER

Most loader equipment accidents can be avoided by following simple safety precautions. These safety precautions, if followed at all times, will help you operate your loader safely.

-7SAFE OPERATION

1. BEFORE OPERATING THE LOADER

1. Read and understand all instructions and precautions found in both the tractor and the loader operator's manuals before using the loader. Lack of knowledge can lead to accidents.

2. It is the owner's responsibility to ensure that anyone who will operate the loader reads this manual first and becomes familiar with the safe operation of the loader.

3. For your safety, a ROPS with a seat belt is strongly recommended by KUBOTA in almost all applications. If the tractor is not equipped with ROPS, it should not be operated in a situation where ROPS is recommended. If you have any questions, consult your local KUBOTA Dealer. Always use the seat belt when the tractor is equipped with a ROPS. Never use the seat belt when the tractor is not equipped with a ROPS.

4. Visually check for hydraulic leaks and broken, missing, or malfunctioning parts. Make necessary repairs before operating.

5. Replace damaged or illegible safety labels. See following pages for required labels.

6. Enter and exit the operator's seat only from left side of the tractor.

7. Engage the loader control valve lock to prevent accidental actuation when the implement is not in use or during transport. Do not utilize the valve lock for machine maintenance or repair.

8. Follow the precautions below when attaching implements.

A Make sure both handles (LH, RH) contact the ear

plates at the points (A) and are all the way down.

A Make sure both lock pins (LH, RH) protrude through

the pin slots.

A Kubota recommends the use of Kubota attachments

on Kubota loaders. Non-Kubota attachments, if used, must comply with ISO 24410, first edition 2005-04-15.

A Use of a non-Kubota attachment that does not comply

with ISO 24410 or the improper positioning of handle(s) or non-protrusion of pin(s) may result in detachment of the attachment or deformation, causing loss of performance, personal injury or death.

(1) Handle (2) Ear plate (3) Pin slot (4) Lock pin

(A) The handle contacts the ear plate at the points.

SAFE OPERATION-8

2. OPERATING THE LOADER 3. AFTER OPERATING THE LOADER

1. Operate the loader only when properly seated at the controls. Do not operate from the ground.

2. Move and turn the tractor at low speeds.

3. Never allow anyone to get under the loader bucket or reach through the boom when the bucket is raised.

4. Keep children, others and livestock away when operating loader and tractor.

5. Do not walk or work under a raised loader bucket or attachment unless it is securely blocked and held in position.

6. For tractor stability and operator safety, rear ballast must be added to the 3-point hitch and to the rear wheels when using loader.

7. Exercise extra caution when operating the loader with a raised bucket or attachment.

8. Do not lift or carry any person on the loader, in the bucket, or other attachment.

9. Avoid loose fill, rocks and holes. They can be dangerous for loader operation or movement.

10.Avoid overhead wires and obstacles when the loader is raised. Contacting electric lines can cause electrocution.

11.Gradually stop the loader boom when lowering or lifting.

12.Use caution when handling loose or shiftable loads.

13.Using loaders for handling large, heavy, or shiftable objects is not recommended without proper handling attachments.

14.Handling large heavy objects can be extremely dangerous due to :

A Danger of rolling the tractor over. A Danger of upending the tractor. A Danger of the object rolling or sliding down the

loader boom onto the operator.

15.If you must perform this sort of work (item 14), protect yourself by : A Never lift the load higher than necessary to clear

the ground.

A Add rear ballast to the tractor to compensate for the

load or use rear implement.

A Never lift large objects with equipment that may

permit them to roll back onto the operator.

A Move slowly and carefully, avoiding rough terrain.

16.Never lift or pull a load from any point on the loader with a chain, rope, or cable. Doing so could cause a rollover or serious damage to the loader.

17.Be extra careful when operating the tractor on a slope, always operate up and down, never across the slope. Do not operate on steep slopes or unstable surfaces.

18.Carry loader boom at a low position during transport. (You should be able to see over the bucket.)

19.Allow for the loader length when making turns.

1. When loader work is complete and parking or storing, choose flat and hard ground. Lower the loader boom to the ground, stop the engine, set the brakes and remove the key before leaving the tractor seat.

4. SERVICING THE LOADER

1. Always wear safety goggles when servicing or repairing the machine.

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

3. Do not use the loader as a work platform or a jack to support the tractor for servicing or maintenance. Securely support the tractor or any machine elements with stands or suitable blocking before working underneath. For your safety, do not work under any hydraulically supported devices. They can settle or suddenly leak down or be accidentally lowered.

4. Escaping hydraulic oil under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin, causing serious personal injury. Do not use hands to search for suspected leaks. If injured by escaping fluid, obtain medical treatment immediately.

5. Do not tamper with the relief valve setting. The relief valve is pre-set at the factory. Changing the setting can cause overloading of the loader and tractor which may result in serious personal injury.

6. When servicing or replacing pins in cylinder ends, bucket, etc., always use a brass drift and hammer. Failure to do so could result in injury from flying metal fragments.

OPERATING THE ENGINE

EXHAUST AFTERTREATMENT DEVICES

To avoid personal injury or death: A Read and understand "Safe Operation" in the

front of this manual.

A Read and understand the danger, warning and

caution labels located on the tractor.

A To avoid the danger of exhaust fume

poisoning, do not operate the engine in a closed building without proper ventilation.

A Never start engine while standing on ground.

Start engine only from operator's seat.

A Make it a rule to set all shift levers to the

"NEUTRAL" positions and to place PTO clutch control switch in "OFF" position before starting the engine.

To avoid personal injury or death: A During Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)

regenerating operations, exhaust gases and exhaust filter components reach temperatures hot enough to burn people, or ignite or melt common materials.

A Keep tractor away from people, animals or

structures which may be susceptible to harm or damage from hot exhaust gases.

A During regeneration, white exhaust gases may

be visible. Do not allow regeneration in a non ventilated garage or confined area.

A During regeneration, do not leave the tractor.

A Do not use starting fluid or ether. A To protect the battery and the starter, make sure that

the starter is not continuously turned for more than 10 seconds.

BDiesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Muffler

This tractor is equipped with an engine with a DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) muffler which serves to reduce hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and other gases, all of which are contained in diesel engine emissions, to harmless carbon dioxide and water. The DPF also traps PM (particulate matter). Please handle exhaust aftertreatment devices correctly and in an environmentally responsible manner.

(1) Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)

17OPERATING THE ENGINE

BHandling Points

When a specific amount of PM (particulate matter) has accumulated in the DPF muffler, it is necessary to refresh the DPF muffler by burning the PM inside it. This burning off work is called "Regeneration". To extend operating time to reach this regeneration, and to avoid DPF muffler trouble, make sure to observe the following handling matters.

C Fuel

Be sure to use Ultra Low Sulfur Fuel (S15).

A Use of diesel fuel other than Ultra Low Sulfur Fuel

may adversely affect the engine and DPF performance. Use of fuels other than Ultra Low Sulfur Fuel (S15) may not meet regulations for your region.

C Engine oil

Use DPF-compatible oil (CJ-4) for the engine.

A If any engine oil other than CJ-4 is used, the DPF

may become clogged earlier than expected and the fuel economy may drop.

C Prohibition of unnecessary idling operation

Generally, the lower the engine speed, the lower the exhaust gas temperature is, so the PM contained in exhaust gas will not be burnt, and begins to accumulate. Therefore, don't idle unnecessarily.

C Regeneration

When there is "Regeneration" instruction sign by lamp or buzzer, immediately perform the required procedure for regeneration.

A Interrupting the regeneration cycle or continued

operation by ignoring the warning signs may cause DPF and engine damage.

BDPF Regeneration Process

DPF regeneration process can be performed by choosing from "Auto Regeneration" or "Regeneration inhibit" mode according to your job conditions. For jobs not affected by hot gases emitted during regeneration, the "Auto Regeneration" is advisable.

C Auto Regeneration Mode;

When starting the engine (switch operation is unnecessary), the "Auto Regeneration" mode is automatically activated. With the auto regeneration mode on, when a specific amount of PM has accumulated, and the regeneration conditions are satisfied (See the "Tips on Diesel Particulate Filter [DPF] Regeneration"), the DPF will be automatically regenerated whether the tractor is in motion or parked. By this way, work efficiency is improved. For details of auto regeneration, refer to "Operating Procedure for Auto Regeneration Mode" section.

C Regeneration Inhibit Mode;

After starting the engine, if the "DPF INHIBIT switch" is pressed to turn on the switch lamp, the "Regeneration inhibit" mode will be activated. With "Regeneration Inhibit" mode on, the PM which has accumulated inside the DPF will not be burnt, unless the operator performs the regeneration work manually. The "Regeneration Inhibit" mode is effective for work in poorly ventilated work spaces. For details of regeneration prohibition, refer to "Operating Procedure for Regeneration Inhibit Mode" section.

A If stop the engine once, the "Auto Regeneration" mode

will be activated.

BRegeneration Operating Procedure

Start the engine.

(Make sure that the DPF INHIBIT switch lamp is "OFF".)

Switch lamp OFF: Auto Regeneration Mode activated. Switch lamp ON: Regeneration Inhibit Mode activated.

A When the engine is started, the "Auto Regeneration" mode is automatically activated. A "Regeneration Inhibit" mode is activated, when the DPF INHIBIT switch is pushed after the engine is started.

When the regeneration indicator starts flashing:

A specific amount of PM has built up in the DPF. Continue to operate the tractor, and the regeneration process will begin automatically, make sure the working place is in a safe area as DPF and exhaust temperature will rise.

When the engine rpm increase indicator starts flashing:

Keep on working and increase the engine rpm until the indicator turns "OFF".

A Even if the Auto Regeneration Mode is selected, DPF regeneration may not begin because system requirements have

not been satisfied.

A The engine rpm increase indicator is used as a guide to satisfy the regeneration conditions. If the engine load is too

heavy, the engine rpm increase indicator may continue to flash, even though regeneration system conditions are satisfied and regeneration may begin automatically. (See the "Tips on Diesel Particulate Filter [DPF] Regeneration")

A During the regeneration cycle, do not touch the above levers, pedal and switches (in steps 2, 3, 4), nor change the

engine rpm other than an emergency stop. Otherwise, the regeneration will be interrupted.

A Never leave the tractor when parked regeneration process is activated. A If the parked regeneration cycle is interrupted, the engine rpm is fixed at the idling level for about 30 seconds. For this

period, keep the hand throttle lever and foot throttle pedal at the idle position. Do not move them. They will function again in 30 seconds.

23OPERATING THE ENGINE

BTips on Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)

Regeneration

A Operation

The higher in speed or load the engine operates, the higher the exhaust temperature rises. As a result, particulate matter (PM) inside the DPF is consumed, therefore the regeneration process is required less frequently over time. The lower in speed or load the engine operates, the lower the exhaust temperature. Accordingly, less particulate matter (PM) inside the DPF is consumed, therefore more accumulation of PM will occur, which requires frequent regeneration, therefore avoid prolonged idling if possible.

A Necessary conditions for "Regeneration"

When conditions below are all satisfied, regeneration will start. However, if even one condition is deviated during the process, the regeneration will be interrupted. (1) The engine coolant temperature. (2) The DPF temperature. (3) The engine speed is 1200 rpm or higher.

A Usually it takes 15-20 minutes to complete the

regeneration cycle. Actual regeneration time may depend on ambient temperature, exhaust temperature and engine speed.

STARTING THE ENGINE

Tractor Driving Position

1. Make sure the parking brake is set.

1. To set the parking brake; (1) Interlock the brake pedals. (2) Depress the brake pedals. (3) Latch the brake pedals with the parking brake

lever.

2. To release the parking brake, depress the brake pedals again.

A It is recommended to do the regenerating while the

engine is warm.

A Do not unnecessarily start and interrupt the

regeneration process. Otherwise, a small amount of fuel becomes mixed with the engine oil, which degrades the oil quality.

A While the DPF is being regenerated, the engine air

flow rate is automatically limited to keep up the exhaust temperature. Because of this the engine may sound differently, this is normal for this engine.

A Just after the regeneration has ended, the DPF muffler

remains hot. It is advisable to keep the engine running for about 5 minutes to allow cooling of the exhaust components.

BWarm-up Transmission Oil at Low

Temperature Range

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

Higher than -10 (14 ) Approx. 5 minutes

-15 to -10 (5 to 14 ) 5 to 10 minutes

-20 to -15 (-4 to 5 ) 10 to 20 minutes

Below -20 (-4 ) More than 20 minutes

A Do not operate the tractor under full load condition until

it is sufficiently warmed up.

29OPERATING THE ENGINE

JUMP STARTING

To avoid personal injury or death: A Battery gases can explode. Keep cigarettes,

sparks, and flames away from battery.

A If tractor battery is frozen, do not jump start

engine.

A Do not connect the other end of the negative

(-) jumper cable to the negative (-) terminal of the tractor battery.

When jump starting the engine, follow the instructions below to safely start the engine.

1. Bring the helper vehicle with a battery of the same voltage as disabled tractor within easy cable reach. "THE VEHICLES MUST NOT TOUCH".

2. Engage the parking brakes of both vehicles and put the shift levers in neutral. Shut both engines off.

3. Wear eye protection and rubber gloves.

4. Attach the red clamp to the positive (red, (+) or pos.) terminal of the dead battery and clamp the other end of the same cable to the positive (red, (+) or pos.) terminal of the helper battery.

5. Clamp the other cable to the negative (black, (-) or neg.) terminal of the helper battery.

6. Clamp the other end to the engine block or frame of the disabled tractor as far from the dead battery as possible.

7. Start the helper vehicle and let its engine run for a few moments. Start the disabled tractor.

8. Disconnect the jumper cables in the exact reverse order of attachment. (Steps 6, 5 and 4).

A This machine has a 12 volt negative (-) ground starting

OPERATING 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.

BOARDING AND LEAVING THE TRACTOR

1. Never try to get on or off a moving tractor or jump off the tractor to exit.

2. Face the tractor when getting into or out of the tractor. Do not use the controls as hand holds to prevent inadvertent machine movements.

3. Always keep steps and floor clean to avoid slippery conditions.

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 OF THE TRACTOR" section)

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 maximum stability. (See "Treads" in "TIRES, WHEELS AND 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.

BTransport the Tractor Safely

1. The tractor, if damaged, must be carried on a truck. Secure the tractor tightly with ropes.

2. Follow the instruction below when towing the tractor: Otherwise, the tractor’s powertrain may get damaged.

A Set the all shift levers to "NEUTRAL" position. A If possible, start engine and select 2WD, if creep

speed is fitted ensure that it is disengaged.

A Tow the tractor using its front hitch or drawbar. A Never tow faster than "10 km/h (6.2 mph)".

BDirections for Use of Power Steering

1. Power steering is activated only while the engine is running. Slow engine speeds make the steering a little heavier. 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.

OPERATING THE TRACTOR54

REVERSING THE SEAT

(A) "TRACTOR DRIVING POSITION" (B) "BACKHOE POSITION"

The seat is reversible for backhoe operation. Follow the procedure below to turn the seat around.

1. Unlock the seat lock lever.

(1) Seat lock lever (A) "UNLOCK"

2. Turn the seat to counterclockwise for backhoe operation. The seat is automatically locked at the backhoe position.

A When rotating seat, do not hit any controls or levers.

3. For tractor driving position, unlock the seat lock lever and turn the seat clockwise.

A See "Operator's Seat" in "STARTING" when using

seat in driving position.

A To prevent damage to the lock lever or to release the

seat lock properly, do not attempt to pull up the lock lever with extreme force while sitting on the seat. First lift yourself from the seat, and then pull up the lock lever.

OPERATING THE LOADER

55OPERATING THE LOADER

CONTROL LEVER

A When the lever is at each corner position marked by

asterisk (*), boom and bucket cylinders work at the same time. However, the blank position (Raise & Roll back) is not recommended for scooping because of insufficient lift force.

To begin a test operation, slightly move the control lever from the "N" position. Slowly raise the loader boom just enough for the bucket to clear the ground when fully dumped. Slowly work through the dump and roll back cycles.

OPERATING THE LOADER

The loader should be operated with the tractor engine speed depending on the application and the operator's level of experience. Excessive speeds are dangerous, and may cause bucket spillage and unnecessary strain on the tractor and loader. When operating in temperatures below -1 (30 ), run the tractor engine below 1200 rpm until the oil temperature exceeds -1 (30 ). The following text and illustrations offer suggested loader and tractor operating techniques.

FILLING THE BUCKET

Approach and enter the pile with a level bucket.

Ease control lever toward you and then left to rollback and lift the bucket.

A If the boom or bucket does not work in the directions

indicated on the label, lower the bucket to the ground, stop the engine, and relieve all hydraulic pressure. Recheck and correct all hydraulic connections.

The rollback and lifting of the bucket will increase efficiency because a level bucket throughout the lifting cycle resists bucket lift and increases breakaway effort.

OPERATING THE LOADER56

A Do not be concerned if the bucket is not completely

filled during each pass. Maximum productivity is determined by the amount of material loaded in a given period of time. Time is lost if 2 or more attempts are made to fill the bucket on each pass.

LIFTING THE LOAD

When lifting the load, keep the bucket positioned to avoid spillage.

To avoid personal injury or death: A Do not attempt to lift bucket loads in excess of

the loader capacity.

A Before raising the bucket to full height, make

sure the tractor is on level ground. If not, it may tip over, even if the tractor is not moving.

CARRYING THE LOAD

Position the bucket just below the level of the tractor hood for maximum stability and visibility, whether the bucket is loaded or empty.

Use extreme care when operating the loader on a slope. Keep the bucket as low as possible. This keeps the bucket and tractor center of gravity low and will provide maximum tractor stability.

To avoid personal injury or death:

A Be extra careful when working on inclines. A When operating on a slope, always operate up

and down the slope, never across the slope.

When transporting a load, keep the bucket as low as possible to avoid tipping, in case a wheel drops in a rut.

57OPERATING THE LOADER

DUMPING THE BUCKET

Lift the bucket just high enough to clear the side of the vehicle. Move the tractor in as close to the side of the vehicle as possible, then dump the bucket.

LOWERING THE BUCKET

After the bucket is dumped, back away from the vehicle while lowering and rolling back the bucket.

OPERATING WITH FLOAT CONTROL

During operation on hard surfaces, keep the bucket level and put the lift control in the float position to permit the bucket to float on the working surface. If hydraulic down pressure is exerted on the bucket it will wear faster than normal.

The float position will also avoid mixing of surface material with stockpile material. The float position will reduce the chance of surface gouging while removing snow or other material, or when working with a blade.

LOADING FROM A BANK

Choose a forward gear that provides a safe ground speed and power for loading.

To avoid personal injury or death:

A Be extra careful when working on inclines. A When operating on a slope, always operate up

and down the slope, never across the slope.

A Loader lift and break-away capacity diminish as

loading height is increased.

Side cutting is a good technique for cutting down a big pile. Wheel width should not exceed the bucket width for this procedure.

OPERATING THE LOADER58

If the pile sides are too high and liable to cause cave-in, use the loader to break down the sides until a slot can be cut over the top.

PEELING AND SCRAPING

Use a slight bucket down angle, travel forward, and hold the lift control forward to start the cut. Make a short cut and break-out cleanly.

With the bucket level, start a cut at the notch approximately 2 in. deep. Hold the depth by feathering the bucket control to adjust the cutting edge up or down. When the front tires enter the notch, adjust the boom cylinder to maintain proper depth.

Another method for large dirt piles is to build a ramp to approach the pile.

It is important to keep the bucket level when approaching a bank or pile. This will help avoid gouging the work area.

Make additional passes until the desired depth is reached. During each pass, use only the bucket control while at working depth. This will allow you to concentrate on controlling the bucket angle to maintain a precise cut.

59OPERATING THE LOADER

LOADING LOW TRUCKS OR SPREADERS FROM A PILE

For faster loading, minimize the angle of turn and length of run between pile and spreader.

Backgrade occasionally with a loaded bucket to keep the work surface free of ruts and holes. Also, hold the lift control forward so the full weight of the bucket is scraping the ground. Use the heel of the bucket

A Do not use the bucket in the dumped position for

bulldozing. As shown above, this method will impose severe shock loads on the dump-linkage, the bucket cylinders, and the tractor.

Leave dirt in the bucket because dumping on each pass wastes time.

Operate at right angles to the ditch. Taking as big a bite as the tractor can handle.

BACKFILLING

Approach the pile with the bucket flat.

Poor operating methods will move less dirt and make it more difficult to hold a level grade.

Leave dirt which drifts over the side of the bucket for final cleanup.

Pile dirt on the high side for easier backfilling on a slope.

OPERATING THE LOADER60

HANDLING LARGE HEAVY OBJECTS

To avoid personal injury or death: A Handling large, heavy objects can be

dangerous due to: (A)Danger of rolling the tractor over. (B)Danger of upending the tractor. (C)Danger of the object rolling or sliding down the loader boom onto the operator.

A If you must perform the above work, protect

yourself by: (A)Not lifting the load higher than necessary to clear the ground when moving. (B)Adding rear ballast to the tractor to compensate for the load. (C)Not lifting large objects with equipment that does not have an anti-rollback device. (D)Moving slowly and carefully. (E)Avoiding rough terrain. (F)Keeping transport distance as short as possible and carry the load as low as possible during transport. (G)Confirm loader/bucket are at proper height and have stopped moving before transport.

ground, set the range shift lever in neutral, apply parking brake, stay clear of operating area while setting self-leveling.

1. Raise Leveling Adjustment

1) Set the jig on the right side of the loader pallet fork as shown in the illustration.

(1) Jig (Not included in this kit)

2) Start the engine and set at 2000rpm.

3) Set the pallet fork flat on the ground.

A When the pendulum indicates the vertical line of the jig

(marked "V"), the pallet fork is flat.

5) If the pallet fork angle is not within the angle shown in the illustration, readjust the self-leveling.

A When the pendulum indicates the white range of the

jig, the pallet fork angle is proper.

6) If the pallet fork angle is not within the angle shown in the illustration, lower the boom and loosen the lock nut then adjust by setscrew as follows. *Pallet fork forward tilt: Screw "IN" *Pallet fork back tilt: Screw "Out" (Typically 1/2 turn is a good increment of change)

7) Tighten the lock nut

*Tightening torque: 5.4 to 7.8 N-m

4.0 to 5.7 ft-lbs

4) Raise the boom to the maximum height.

ATTACHING ATTACHMENTS

This quick attach coupler is designed to be used with Kubota attachments. Non-Kubota attachments, if used, must comply with ISO 24410, first edition 2005-04-15. This quick attach coupler allows the operator to change easily without the use of tools.

To avoid personal injury or death: A Use of a non-Kubota attachment that does not

comply with ISO24410 or the improper positioning of handle(s) or non-protrusion of pin(s) may result in detachment of the attachment or deformation, causing loss of performance, personal injury or death.

A Attachments should be located on a flat, firm surface

when attaching and detaching them from the quick attach coupler.

A The torque for the lock nut is very important. If the nut

is over tightened the adjusting screw may break.

1. To mount an attachment, pull the handles of the quick attach coupler latching pins to the unlatched position. The quick attach coupler handles must be all the way up to ensure that the latching pins are fully retracted.

2. Position the tractor squarely in front of the attachment and tilt the quick attach coupler forward with the bucket cylinders.

(1) Quick attach coupler

3. Ease the quick attach coupler mounting plate into the saddle of the attachment.

4. Roll the quick attach coupler back using the bucket cylinders and raise the boom slightly. The back of the attachment should rest against the front of the quick attach coupler mounting plate and the weight of the attachment should be supported by the loader.
