SAFE OPERATION

-1SAFE 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. Do not operate the tractor or any implement attached to it while under the influence of alcohol, medication, controlled substances or while fatigued.

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

5. 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.

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

7. 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.)

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

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

10.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.

11. 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

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. 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

(1) CAB (2) Seat belt

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.

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.

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.

(1) Drawbar

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 rear wheel or 4-wheel 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 use "Bi-speed Turn" at high speed.

13."Bi-Speed Turn" enables short and fast turns, therefore, become familiar with its performance before operating in close or confined areas.

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

-3SAFE OPERATION

C Instructional seat (if equipped)

1. Always wear your seat belt and stabilize your body by holding the handrail on the CAB frame.

2. It is not intended to carry children nor any other person for any other purpose.

3. The left hand door must be closed at all time whenever the instructional seat is occupied and the tractor is in motion.

4. Do not permit others to ride, except on the designated instructional seat.

5. Use caution to avoid the risks of obstructing operator's view, falling from the machine and interfering with controls.

6. Do not start and stop the tractor suddenly, nor take sharp turn.

7. Do not use the instructional seat if the seat belt or the door lock fails to function.

8. Do not use the instructional seat for transport.

9. When opening and closing the door from the instructional-seat-sitting position, move the door slowly. This is to prevent his or her hand(s) from getting caught by the door or his or her body to hit against the door.

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 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.

7. To avoid free wheeling:

A Do not shift the shuttle lever while on a slope. A Stop completely by using the brake and by

depressing the clutch pedal, then shift the shuttle lever.

A Start off after selecting shuttle direction, by

releasing the clutch pedal.

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.

SAFE OPERATION-4

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

(1) 3-point hitch lowering lock lever (A) "LOCK"

(B) "UNLOCK"

5. Observe all local traffic and safety regulations.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 and chock the wheels. Failure to comply with this warning may allow the tractor to move and could cause injury or death.

(1) Safety chain

12.Set the implement lowering control in the "LOCK" position to hold the implement in the raised position.

-5SAFE OPERATION

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) PTO Shaft cover (2) PTO Shaft cap

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

(1) Groove

3. Before installing or using PTO driven equipment, read the manufacturer's manual and review the safety labels attached to the equipment. To prevent PTO driven equipment from improper or unsafe use, select the lower speed (540rpm) unless the higher one is specifically recommended as safe by the equipment manufacturer.

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.

4. Use [UP-DOWN] switch or lever only on farm fields. For all other application, use hydraulic lever to move attachment.

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.)

SAFE OPERATION-6

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.

(1) Battery

11.Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not inflate tires above the recommended pressure shown in the operator's manual.

12.Securely support the tractor when either changing wheels or adjusting the wheel tread width.

13.Make sure that wheel bolts have been tightened to the specified torque.

14.Disconnect the battery's ground cable and stop the engine to avoid the possibility of the machine runaway due to 4WD braking system during testing, service or repair with only rear wheels off the ground.

15.Do not work under any hydraulically supported devices. They can settle, suddenly leak down, or be accidentally lowered. If it is necessary to work under tractor or any machine elements for servicing or adjustment, securely support them with stands or suitable blocking beforehand.

16.Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure has sufficient force to penetrate skin, causing serious personal injury. Before disconnecting hydraulic lines, be sure to release all residual pressure. Before applying pressure to the hydraulic system, make sure that all connections are tight and that all lines, pipes, and hoses are free of damage.

(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.

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

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

-7SAFE OPERATION

18.Do not open high-pressure fuel system. High-pressure fluid remaining in fuel lines can cause serious injury. Do not disconnect nor attempt to repair fuel lines, sensors, or any other components between the high-pressure fuel pump and injectors on engines with high pressure common rail fuel system.

19.To avoid hazardous high voltage, turn the key switch to the OFF position if it is necessary to check to repair the computer, harness or connectors.

20.During Diesel Particulate Filter (hereinafter called DPF) regenerating operations, exhaust gases and exhaust filter components reach temperatures hot enough to burn people, or ignite or melt common materials.

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

22.To prevent fires, keep the DPF/SCR muffler and its surroundings clear of anything flammable and keep clean at all times. [Selective Catalytic Reduction (hereinafter called SCR)]

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

24.During regeneration, do not leave the tractor.

25.Before servicing a tractor equipped with the front suspension, be sure to lower the machine to the lowest position.

26.The front suspension hydraulic circuit is still under high pressure after the engine has stopped. Do not disconnect the pipes and/or hoses because you may get injured by high-pressure oil. If pipes and/or hoses are found worn or damaged, consult your local KUBOTA Dealer for this service.

OPERATING THE ENGINE

EXHAUST AFTERTREATMENT DEVICES

To avoid personal injury or death: A Read "Safe Operation" in the front of this

manual.

A Read 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.

A When the engine is started, the machine height

may change unexpectedly. Before starting the tractor, make sure the area near the machine is clear of all persons and objects. [Front suspension type].

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.

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.

BDual Exhaust Aftertreatment Devices

Particulate matter (PM) and black smoke contained in exhaust gases are trapped and removed by the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) muffler. The SCR system then decomposes residual nitrogen oxides (NOx) into harmless nitrogen (N2) and water (H2O) for purification. This dual exhaust gas purifying device provides for clean exhaust gas at low fuel consumption.

13OPERATING THE ENGINE

OPERATING THE ENGINE14

DIESEL 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)

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 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 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 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.

BOperating Procedure for Auto Regeneration Mode

15OPERATING THE ENGINE

(5) Engine RPM increase indicator (6) Engine warning indicator

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")

21OPERATING 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.

A It is recommended to do the regenerating while the

engine is warm.

SELECTIVE CATALYTIC REDUCTION (SCR) MUFFLER

BOutline of the SCR

The injector jets urea aqueous solution (DEF/AdBlue®) into the muffler, and the solution is hydrolyzed with the heat of exhaust gas to generate ammonia (NH3). The ammonia generated thus is mixed with exhaust gas by the SCR muffler. In this way, nitrogen oxides (NOx) contained in exhaust gases are reduced by ammonia and decomposed into nitrogen and water vapor.

(1) SCR muffler

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.

OPERATING THE ENGINE22

BDEF/AdBlue®

To avoid personal injury: A The urea aqueous solution (DEF/AdBlue®) is

colorless, odorless and harmless. If the solution gets on your skin, immediately wash it away with water.

The DEF/AdBlue®, used as reducing agent of SCR, is a

32.5% urea aqueous solution. No qualification for handling the urea aqueous solution is needed. As well, the solution is not designated as a hazardous material. The product is available at gas stations, truck stops and specialty shops. Be sure to use the genuine product only. Do not use any poor-quality products, or the engine may have trouble and be damaged.

BWarning Indication and its

Countermeasure

Before starting the day’s job, check the fluid level with the DEF/AdBlue® gauge on the instrument panel. If the fluid runs short during operation, the warning indicator lights up. If you continue running the machine as it is, the engine output will be limited by 50% or so. If running is continued, the engine will be limited to idling. For details, look at the table below. These limitations are stipulated in conformity with the emission controls of each country and territory.

(1) DEF/AdBlue® tank (Blue cap)

A On the North American market, the high-grade NOx

reducing agent called urea aqueous solution is sold in the name of DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid). On the European and Japanese markets, it is on sale under the trade name of AdBlue®.

DTC can be used to diagnose the problem in engine and SCR muffler. (e.g P208B: The code beginning with the letter "P" or "U" is the DTC) If a DTC appears, immediately contact your local KUBOTA Dealer.

A When operating in cold weather, the DEF/AdBlue® is

automatically thawed while the engine is running. However, in weather conditions of under -30 (22 ), the DEF/AdBlue® cannot be completely thawed and thus, a DTC(P208B) appears on the instrument panel’s LCD screen. If the DTC(P208B) appears on the screen, stop the engine and restart it after 10 seconds. After restarting the engine, the DTC(P208B) will disappear and the thawing of the DEF/AdBlue® will resume. In case the DTC(P208B) remains on the screen even after restarting the engine several times, contact your local KUBOTA Dealer.

OPERATING THE ENGINE26

A The limited engine output level:

Lv.1 (Level 1): Within 50% of max torque and 60% of engine speed. Lv.2 (Level 2): Within engine near idling speed.

A After an error has occurred, it may be necessary for the engine output to become limited to Lv.2(Level.2).

Depending on trouble spots and contents, the indicator-prompted warnings and the engine output limits and timings may vary accordingly. The SCR warning status (from 1 to 3) represents the severity order of the engine output limitation. If the SCR system experiences abnormalities, an error code will be displayed, and it may be necessary to limit the engine output to Idle Status (Lv.2:Level.2). (e.g. When a P204F error code is displayed, the engine output changes from unrestricted to Lv.2 limited.)

A Points after taking measures.

After the engine has stopped and the DEF/AdBlue® has drained, if the amount that was refueled is less than the predrain amount, the SCR system may experience a malfunction.(P20F5 error code is displayed) When the error occurs, turn the key switch to OFF, wait for the SCR system to complete the purge process (this may take several minutes) and then turn the key switch to ON again in order to clear the SCR system malfunction.

BStoring and Handling DEF/AdBlue®

1. Because DEF/AdBlue® is a urea aqueous solution, it begins to freeze at ambient temperatures below –11ºC (12ºF). In winter, handle it with enough care.

2. DEF/AdBlue® may be stored in the tractor’s tank for up to 4 months. If the storage area’s ambient temperature rises above 30ºC (86ºF), however, its storage life will be markedly reduced.

C Storage method

1. Store the solution in a well-sealed container.

2. Place the container in a location not exposed to direct sunlight.

3. Place the container in a well-ventilated spot.

4. Keep the container in a spot without violent temperature changes.

5. Keep the container away from any containers of gasoline and diesel fuel.

(If the engine fails to start after 10 seconds, turn off the key for 30 seconds. Then repeat steps 9 and 10. To protect the battery and the starter, make sure that the starter is not continuously turned for more than 10 seconds.)

A DEF/AdBlue® freezes at temperatures below -11

(12 ). Even if it is frozen, the engine is not affected at its start-up and running.

BBlock Heater (if equipped)

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 -20 (-4 ).

STOPPING THE ENGINE

(1) Heater indicator

A During a cold start, the low temperature regulation

indicator will appear on the LCD and the buzzer may sound once every 2 seconds. In this case, the engine speed will be limited to about 60%. If the operation is continued, the engine speed limit will gradually and automatically increase until the rotational speed will match the Foot throttle (or Hand throttle) strength.

1. After slowing the engine to idle, wait 3 to

5 minutes for turbo to slow down and then turn the key to "OFF".

2. Remove the key.

A When the engine is stopped-shutdown, DEF/AdBlue®

flow is reversed in the DEF/AdBlue® lines and related piping and returned back into the DEF/AdBlue® tank after cooling the DEF/AdBlue® injector. The SCR system continues working several minutes after engine shutdown to complete this purge process.

A Do not turn the machine main battery power off to the

engine until the DEF/AdBlue® return cycle purge process is completed. Turning off the main battery power to the engine and aftertreatment system prior to completion may damage the system or cause it to malfunction.

A If key does not stop the engine, consult your local

KUBOTA Dealer.

33OPERATING THE ENGINE

WARMING UP

To avoid personal injury or death: 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 switch in "OFF" position during warm-up.

For 5 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 and 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:

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).

Ambient temperature Warm-up time requirement

Higher than 0 (32 ) Approx. 5 minutes

0 to -10 (32 to 14 ) 10 to 20 minutes

-10 to -20 (14 to -4 ) 20 to 30 minutes

Below -20 (-4 ) More than 30 minutes

A Do not operate the tractor under full load condition until

it is sufficiently warmed up.

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) Dead battery (2) Jumper cables (3) Helper battery

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

system.

A Use only same voltage for jump starting. A Use of a higher voltage source on tractor's electrical

system could result in severe damage to tractor's electrical system. Use only matching voltage source when "Jump starting" a low or dead battery condition.

A Do not operate the tractor with the battery cable

disconnected from the battery.

A Do not operate the tractor without the battery

mounted.

A Do not operate the tractor with the battery dead.

Charge the battery fully enough before operating the tractor. Otherwise the tractor might malfunction.

34 OPERATING THE TRACTOR

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.

STARTING

1. Adjusting the Operator's Position.

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 The seat and suspension should be adjusted to

ensure that the controls are comfortably at hand for the operator, ensuring that the operator maintains a good posture and minimizes risks from whole body vibration.

BOperator's Seat

To avoid personal injury or death: A Make adjustments to the seat only while the

tractor is stopped.

A Make sure that the seat is completely secured

after each adjustment.

A Do not allow any person other than the

operator to ride on the tractor.

OPERATING THE TRACTOR44

BDHC switch

On this tractor, the engine load and other fluctuations are sensed and the speed is well controlled in response to the loads. Turn the DHC switch "ON" when using a traction PTO attachment (baler, etc.) on a slope. A well responsive speed control can be expected. In other applications, turn this switch "OFF". Smooth speed change is available for comfortable ride.

(1) DHC switch (A) "Push to ON"

A While the DHC switch is at "ON", the hydraulic clutch

behaves quicker at a speed change. Even working on a slope, therefore, the push-out of an attachment can be minimized. (Do not change speeds when doing heavy-duty traction on a steep slope.)

BShuttle Lever

To avoid personal injury or death: A When attempting to shift the shuttle shift lever

on a slope, be sure to completely stop the tractor.

A Slow down the engine speed before shifting the

shuttle lever.

A Use the shuttle lever when the machine speed

is below 11 km/h (6.8 mph).

A Otherwise the clutch gets disengaged and the buzzer

starts sounding. To get the clutch reengaged and clear the buzzer, take either of the following steps. (1) Place the shuttle lever back to the original

position. Decrease the machine speed lower than 11 km/h (6.8 mph) and use the shuttle lever.

(2) Stop the tractor first and bring the shuttle lever

back to the original position.

Raise up and shift the shuttle shift lever forward to obtain forward speeds and shift it backward to obtain reverse speeds without using the clutch pedal. With the shuttle lever at neutral, press the up-shift/downshift button of the power shift / range shift lever, select the main speed (1st thru 8th speed) and then switch the subspeed range. Now the selected main speed is kept on whether at "L", "M" or "H".

(1) Shuttle lever (F) "FORWARD"

(N) "NEUTRAL" (R) "REVERSE"

A While the shuttle shift lever is at the "NEUTRAL"

position, the "N" character appears on the LCD monitor.

(N) "NEUTRAL"

45OPERATING THE TRACTOR

To avoid personal injury or death: A When you leave the tractor, be sure to apply the

parking brake and stop the engine.

A IN APPLYING THE BRAKES:

A The torque of the wheel axle is extremely

high while creep speed is being used. Be sure to step down on the clutch pedal completely before applying the brakes, or the torque will overcome the brakes.

A When starting to operate the tractor, be sure

to release the parking brakes. Misuse of the brakes may cause damage to the transmission and is therefore not acceptable to KUBOTA for coverage under the warranty.

BCreep Lever (if equipped)

Shift the creep lever at " " to obtain low speeds with power shift / range shift lever is selected "L" range. With the creep lever engaged (ON), the speed range cannot shift to "M" and "H". (The creep mode does not operate in the middle-speed and high-speed ranges.) This shifting requires clutch operation.

(1) Creep Lever (A) "LOW".....Creep ON

(B) "HIGH".............Creep OFF

C Creep speed should be used only when doing one

of the following jobs:

1. Deep rotary-tilling and harrowing

2. Planting

3. Turf application

C Creep speed can not be used for any of the

followings:

1. Pulling a trailer

2. Front-loader operation

3. Front-blade operation

4. Earth-moving

5. Entering and leaving a field

6. Loading onto and unloading from a truck

A Press the clutch pedal completely down and stop the

tractor's motion before shifting the range gear shift lever.

B4WD / Auto 4WD Switch

To avoid personal injury or death: A Do not engage the front wheel drive when

traveling at road speed.

A When driving on icy, wet, or loose surfaces,

make sure the tractor is correctly ballasted to avoid skidding and loss of steering control. Operate at reduced speed and engage front wheel drive.

A 4WD model tractor is equipped with 4 wheel

braking and appropriate care should be taken during hard braking.

A An accident may occur if the tractor is

suddenly braked, such as by heavy towed loads shifting forward or loss of control.

A The braking characteristics are different

between 2 and 4-wheel drive tractor models. Be aware of the difference and use carefully.

Press the left half;

The 4WD mode activates. The 4WD indicator comes on.

5. There is no hassle of switching between 2WD/4WD.

6. In regards to rolling resistance, it is possible to reduce tire wear and to save fuel.

7. Taking corners at high speeds can be done effortlessly.

A Tires will wear quickly if the front wheel drive is

engaged on paved roads.

BBi-speed Turn Switch

To avoid personal injury or death:

A Do not use "Bi-speed Turn" at high speed. A "Bi-speed Turn" enables short and fast turns,

therefore, become familiar with its performance before operating in close or confined areas.

A Bi-speed turn system works when you press the "Bi-

speed turn switch" and the front tire (inside of the turn) exceeds 35 degrees. Bi-speed turn makes the front tire speed 1.6 times faster than the standard 4WD front tire speed.

A "Bi-speed Turn" operates only when the travel speed

is "H-3 (19th)" or lower and the tractor travel speed is 10 km/h (6.2 mph) or less at the start of the turn.

A If the "Bi-speed Turn" indicator is flashing, then Bi-

speed Turn will not operate.

C Bi-speed turn use is effective for the following

jobs:

1. Turning at the end of rows. (planting, cultivating, harrowing.)

2. Increasing maneuverability when working in tight spaces.

A Tires will wear quickly if the front wheel drive is

engaged on paved roads.

48 OPERATING THE TRACTOR

C Combination of the 4WD/Auto 4WD switch and Bi-speed turn switch

With the use of the 4WD/Auto 4WD and Bi-speed turn switches, it is possible to choose between 5 different driving modes, as shown in the table below. Select the optimal driving mode to fit the type of job being performed. The switch can be used regardless of whether the clutch is in operation, the tractor has stopped or is being driven.

A If the memory speed setting is set higher than the

value that was set with the Rev-limiter control dial, the mark (1) shown in the figure below will appear on the LCD, the corresponding number will flash, and the speed will not increase to the set speed. (The Revlimiter control dial takes priority.)

A For example if the speed set in the memory is 2000

rpm, and the Rev-limiter control dial is set to 1230 rpm, then mark (1) shown in the figure below will appear on the LCD, the corresponding number will flash, and the engine speed will not increase above 1230 rpm.

BConstant RPM Management Control

Constant RPM Management can be turned "ON" or "OFF" by operating the switch. Pressing the switch to the lower side turns the control "ON" and pressing the switch to the upper side turns it "OFF".

C When constant RPM management is "ON"

Fluctuations in the engine speed due to load fluctuations are reduced and the travel speed and PTO speed are kept nearly constant, allowing stable work. When constant RPM management is "ON", the switch and the instrument panel indicator light up.

C When constant RPM management is "OFF

As in a conventional engine, the engine speed increases or decreases according to changes in the load. The operator judges the size of the load from the engine speed and engine sound, and can adjust the travel speed or plowing depth to prevent overload on the tractor.

(1) Constant RPM management indicator

A In a mechanically-controlled engine, the engine speed

changes according to increases and decreases in the load. For example, when working in a hilly area, the load increases and engine speed drops while ascending a slope, and conversely the load drops when descending. These changes in engine speed affect the travel speed and PTO-driven implements. In order to minimize these effects, the operator must make fine adjustments to the travel speed and hand throttle lever. When the constant RPM management switch in this tractor with its electronically controlled engine is turned "ON", the engine speed will be kept nearly constant in response to a certain level of load fluctuations. This improves the accuracy of work without the need for troublesome manipulation of the travel speed and hand throttle lever.

A It is recommended that a combination of light-load

PTO-driven implements and AUTO-MODE (Automatic speed change) be used.

A There is a limit to the range within which a constant

speed can be maintained. If a load exceeding the engine performance is applied, the engine speed will drop.

A The purpose of constant RPM management is not to

increase the engine power.

AUTO MODE

BOutline

The Auto-Mode is an automatic speed change function that is designed to shift up and down the travel speed in response to the load-dependent engine rpm fluctuations, attachment maneuvering, acceleration pedal movement and other factors. The Auto-Mode comes in 2 ways, "Travel mode" and "Field mode", according to the applications.

C Travel mode

In trailing operation, the automatic shift-up/down is carried out within a predetermined range (factory-set for 2 shifts), responding to the acceleration pedal movement and rpm changes from load. This helps you avoid troublesome gear shifting.

A The tractor has been factory-set for the automatic range (2 shifts) discussed above. This gearshift range can be

modified to meet your applications. (For details, refer to "Changing the Auto-Mode settings" in this section.)

A The Auto-Mode does not function if the clutch is disengaged or halfway or in turning over the Bi-speed turning angle

and if shuttle lever is in reverse position.

A The Auto-Mode functions when the engine rpm is above the middle speed.

64 OPERATING THE TRACTOR

C Field mode

In plowing operation, the automatic shift-up/down is carried out within a predetermined range (factory-set for 2 shifts), responding to the field condition, soil condition and other factors. When lifting the attachment using 3 pt, the automatic shiftdown is made for easier turning. With implement that require PTO rotation, automatic shift-up/shift-down occurs repeatedly. This is because the system is sensitive to the load from the plow or other towed implements. As a result, the PTO speed is kept nearly constant, improving the accuracy of work.

BWork Speed Display

The LCD displays both the selected speed and Auto-shift bars.

C Selected speed display

The Auto-shift range is set to 2 shifts as standard. If "8" is displayed at start, then the tractor starts in 8th speed and then automatic shift-up/shift-down occurs in the range of "8", "7", and "6". The selected speed display remains lit when driving in 8th speed, and flashes when driving in 7th or 6th.

C Auto-shift bar display

The auto shift bars display the set "automatic shift-down possible speed range" and the "current speed stage". The shift-up indicator flashes immediately before shift-up occurs, and the shift-down indicator flashes immediately before shift-down occurs.

FRONT SUSPENSION

To avoid personal injury or death: A The front suspension control system is

working when the engine is running. In the ON mode, the LOCK mode or the AUTO LOCK mode, the control system will subtly change the machine's height at startup or as weight changes when implements are attached. These subtle movements can be unexpected. Before starting it, make sure the area near the machine is clear of all persons and objects.

BOutline

The front suspension system works to absorb shocks and vibrations that can be caused by field surface conditions, road surface conditions, and changes in weight caused by implements. Different implements can change the way a tractor carries weight and that weight is also changed when driving in the field or driving on the road. The front suspension system provides the operator with a smoother ride, improved tractor stability, and higher productivity. The front suspension control system has two control switches that allow the operator to adjust the suspension system to operating conditions. Those switches are the Suspension Switch and the Ride Condition Damper Switch. The operator can quickly adjust the suspension system to changing conditions with the touch of buttons.

BSuspension Switch

To avoid personal injury or death: A Before using the suspension switch, make sure

the area near the machine is clear of all persons and objects. The hydraulic pressure in the suspension cylinders, accumulators or a valve can cause the tractor and the attached implement to move unexpectedly.

Using the front suspension switch, the following 3 modes can be selected: ON, LOCK, and AUTO LOCK. While the "ON" or "AUTO LOCK" is selected, the suspension indicator is illuminated. In the "LOCK" mode, the indicator is not illuminated.

(1) Suspension switch (A) Suspension "LOCK"

(B) Suspension "ON" (C) Suspension "AUTO LOCK"

OPERATING THE TRACTOR72

Example: Front End Loader operation (position mode)

In order to efficiently perform Front End Loader work, the suspension stays locked at lower speeds. This helps hold the tractor in a stable condition. While traveling, the suspension is turned on for comfortable ride.

Example: Plowing (draft mode)

When a drafted load becomes heavy, the suspension gets locked. When the load becomes lighter, the suspension is turned on. In moving with the plow up, the suspension is kept on.

(1) Suspension indicator

C Suspension "ON" Mode

Whether driving on roads or doing work, the ON mode reacts to changing surface conditions and the changing weight of the tractor as implements are used. The ON mode is usually selected. When the ON mode is selected, the suspension indicator is illuminated.

C Suspension "LOCK (OFF)" Mode

The suspension system is locked out, and no suspension action takes place. The LOCK mode should be selected when the operator needs to prevent the tractor and the attached implements from overcompensating the front suspension system. The suspension indicator does not illuminate when the LOCK mode is selected.

C Suspension "AUTO LOCK" Mode

In this mode, the suspension is automatically selected LOCK or ON as listed in the table below. The suspension indicator is illuminated when the AUTO LOCK mode is selected.
