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, 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 "PERIODIC SERVICE OF THE TRACTOR" 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.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. Set parking brake and stop engine. Remove any obstruction that may prevent raising or folding of the ROPS. Do not allow any bystanders. Always perform function from a stable position at the rear of the tractor. Hold the top of the ROPS securely when raising or folding. Make sure all pins are installed and locked.
3. If the CAB or ROPS is loosened or removed for any reason, make sure that all parts are reinstalled correctly before operating the tractor.
4. Never modify or repair any structural member of a CAB or ROPS because welding, bending, drilling, grinding, or cutting may weaken the structure.
5. A damaged CAB or ROPS structure must be replaced, not repaired or revised.
6. If any structural member of the CAB or ROPS is damaged, replace the entire structure at your local KUBOTA Dealer.
7. 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.)
8. 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.
SAFE OPERATION-2
(1) ROPS (2) Seat belt
C Working
1. Pull only from the hitch. Never hitch to axle housing or any other point except hitch; such arrangements will increase the risk of serious personal injury or death due to a tractor upset.
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 the Power Take-Off (PTO) is 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" and "Checking OPC System" in "EVERY 50 HOURS" in "PERIODIC SERVICE OF THE TRACTOR" section.) Do not operate unless they are functioning correctly.
(1) Hitch
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. Always sit in the operator's seat when operating levers or controls.
10.Do not stand between tractor and implement or trailed vehicle unless parking brake is applied.
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.
-3SAFE OPERATION
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, follow recommendations for proper ballasting as shown in "BALLAST" section.
11.Set the implement lowering speed knob in the "LOCK" position to hold the implement in the raised position.
(1) 3-point hitch lowering speed knob (A) "FAST"
(B) "SLOW" (C) "LOCK"
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, 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.
C Driving the tractor on the road
1. Check the front wheel engagement. The braking characteristics are different between 2 and 4-wheel drive. Be aware of the difference and use carefully.
2. Always slow the tractor down before turning. Turning at high speed may tip the tractor over.
3. On public roads use the hazard lights, if required by local traffic and safety regulations.
4. Observe all local traffic and safety regulations.
5. Turn the headlights on.
6. Drive at speeds that allow you to maintain control at all times.
7. Do not apply the differential lock while traveling at road speeds. The tractor may run out of control.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10.Do not operate an implement while the tractor is on the road. Lock the 3-point hitch in the raised position.
(1) Brake pedal (2) Parking brake pedal
(A) "DEPRESS" (B) "PUSH DOWN (2) WHILE DEPRESSING (1)"
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.
SAFE OPERATION-4
4. 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.
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.
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.
(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.
(1) 3-point hitch lowering speed knob (A) "FAST"
(B) "SLOW" (C) "LOCK"
4. To avoid injury from separation: Do not extend lift rod beyond the groove on the threaded rod.
(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 OF THE TRACTOR" 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.
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.
-5SAFE OPERATION
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.
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.
(1) Battery
SAFE OPERATION-6
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.
(1) Cardboard (2) Hydraulic line (3) Magnifying glass
17.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.
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.
1. BEFORE OPERATING THE LOADER 2. OPERATING THE LOADER
-7SAFE OPERATION
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 your tractor has a foldable ROPS, fold it down only when absolutely necessary and raise it up and lock it again as soon as possible. Do not wear the seat belt when a foldable ROPS is down or a fixed ROPS is removed. 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. When the front loader is mounted on the tractor, 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. Assemble, remove and reinstall the loader only as directed in this manual. Failure to do this could result in serious personal injury or death.
9. Check that all nuts, bolts, and pins are properly fitted and tightened to specification.
10.Ensure that the approved counterweight and tires are fitted to the tractor.
11.Remove mid mount mower deck (if fitted) before 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. (less than 10 km/h)
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, a counter weight of the recommended size must be added to the 3-point hitch when using loader.
7. To increase stability adjust the rear wheels to the widest setting that is suitable for your application.
8. Exercise extra caution when operating the loader with a raised bucket or attachment.
9. Do not lift or carry any person on the loader, in the bucket, or other attachment.
10.Avoid loose fill, rocks and holes. They can be dangerous for loader operation or movement.
11.Avoid overhead wires and obstacles when the loader is raised. Contacting electric lines can cause electrocution.
12.Gradually stop the loader boom when lowering or lifting.
13.Use caution when handling loose or shiftable loads.
14.Using loaders for handling large, heavy, or shiftable objects is not recommended without proper handling attachments.
15.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.
16.If you must perform this sort of work (item 15), protect yourself by : A Never lift the load higher than necessary to clear
the ground.
A Ensure that the Rated Operating Load is not
exceeded.
A Always use the recommended counter weight. 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.
17.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.
SAFE OPERATION-8
18.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.
19.When operating another implement on a hillside, be sure to remove the loader to reduce the risk of rollover.
20.Carry loader boom at a low position during transport. (You should be able to see over the bucket.)
21.Allow for the loader length when making turns.
3. AFTER OPERATING THE LOADER
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.
2. Make sure the detached loader is on stands and on a hard, level surface.
3. Before disconnecting hydraulic lines, relieve all hydraulic pressure by moving the controls.
4. Do not remove the loader from the tractor without an approved bucket attached.
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.
BACKHOE
Most backhoe equipment accidents can be avoided by following simple safety precautions. These safety precautions, if followed at all times, will help you operate your backhoe safely.
-9SAFE OPERATION
1. BEFORE OPERATING BACKHOE
1. Read and understand all precautions in this manual before service or operation. Allow only trained personnel to operate or service this equipment.
2. It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that anyone who will operate the backhoe reads this manual first and becomes familiar with the safe operation of the backhoe.
3. For safe operation, check the mounting bolts for tightness and that the mount levers are in the right position before operation.
4. Never operate tractor with backhoe attached and loader removed.
5. Check for buried material such as electrical, telephone, gas and water lines. When in doubt, contact local utility companies for their buried location prior to operating the backhoe.
6. Replace any safety decal that becomes damaged, lost or illegible. Also renew all decals when repainting.
2. OPERATING THE BACKHOE
1. Do not allow anyone other than the operator on the unit while in operation or transport.
2. Keep all person and animals away from swing area of backhoe.
3. Use care when operating on slopes to avoid tip-over. Travel at a speed compatible with safe operation, especially when operating on uneven terrain, crossing ditches or while turning.
4. Operate the backhoe from the backhoe operator's seat only.
5. When using on slopes, one stabilizer may be lower than the other. Use extreme care during excavation as risk of tip-over will increase.
6. To reduce the risk of tip-over on a slope, place the spoil to the high side of the excavation.
7. Do not dig under the stabilizer or tractor, especially in soft or sandy condition. Take extra precaution in wet or thawing ground. These conditions can become unstable and may collapse under the weight of the machine and may cause tip over.
8. Never operate the machine or any equipment while under the influence of alcohol or other drugs, or while fatigued.
9. When leaving the machine unattended, be sure to lower the backhoe to the ground. Set the parking brake, then shut the engine off and remove the key.
3. DRIVING THE TRACTOR ON THE ROAD
1. Raise and center the boom, close the dipperstick, curl the bucket and engage the boom and swing locks before transporting the machine.
2. Check the local codes or regulations that may apply to tractor / loader / backhoe operation on public streets or highways, before transporting or traveling. Use SMV emblem and warning flashers as required. (SMV : Slow Moving Vehicle)
4. SERVICING THE BACKHOE
1. Before disconnecting hydraulic lines, relieve all hydraulic pressure by moving the controls.
2. Always use personal protection device such as safety goggles and ear protection when servicing or repairing the machine.
3. Lower the backhoe to the ground and shut the engine off before servicing.
4. When servicing or repairing 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.
5. To avoid serious personal injury, keep clear of working area of the backhoe.
6. When servicing or checking underneath, do not get under the machine while it is being held with only the bucket, backhoe or stabilizers. Securely support with jack stands.
7. For your safety, do not work under any hydraulically supported machine elements. They can settle, suddenly leak down, or be accidentally lowered.
8. Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin, causing serious personal injury. Before applying pressure to the system, be sure that all connections are tight and that lines, pipes and hoses are not damaged. Fluid escaping from a very small hole can be almost invisible. Do not use hands to search for suspected leaks, use a piece of cardboard or wood. If injured by escaping fluid, see a doctor at once. Serious infection or allergic reaction will develop if proper medical treatment is not administered immediately.
9. Do not tamper with any backhoe control valve relief pressure setting. The relief valve pressure is preset at the factory. Changing the setting can cause overloading of the backhoe and the tractor, and serious personal injury or death may result.
